Pros

The pay is decent, you don’t have to worry about hours, and the lack of human contact is a plus for antisocial people

Cons

The routes are the worst. Depending on where you work at, for me they had me going up into the mountains where you would think there are no houses at. You’re expected to fit a huge van into many narrow roads Don’t plan on ending your shift on time. You will most likely always do overtime. 12 hour days are more common than not. Good luck finding a bathroom near your route. The company urges drivers to find one instead of peeing in a can like I’ve had to do on several occasions. Finding a bathroom will but you so far behind schedule that it’s not worth it. The device they give you to confirm deliveries always runs out of signal and will put you behind schedule. Even when you finish your deliveries for the day, prepare to spend another hour debriefing at the warehouse. Whoever is at the desk will most likely be mean and give you a hard time if you have UTA’s Mentally prepare yourself when delivering to a business or apartment. It can take an hour sometimes to find the drop off points

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
