Pros

Hard consistent work in all types of weather if you like that sort of thing. Best part of the job is that you are alone all day as a courier able to serve your customers and keep a smile on your face. That is not required by management, it comes from within.

Cons

Managers will lie to get their way. Their bonuses are based on your productivity. Check rides mean nothing to them, they will sit in your truck all day and yack on the phone instead of determining a safe workload for you. Many managers do not have anything beyond a high school diploma. The smart ones are those out on road away from the political cesspool of daily station life. This year recession has been the new fear word. Allowing management to consolidate routes and force employees to work through unpaid lunch breaks to achieve unreal goals.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
