      Pros

      You don't have someone looking over your shoulder all day long. When the weather is good, you get to work in it. There is a lot of overtime.

      Cons

      When you are not a regular carrier, you may have to carry a different route everyday, which makes everyday feel like your first day. You have to work more than 8 hours a day. You don't always have time to take your lunch or use the restroom.
