Pros

Pay was great. I would say I averaged around $32/hour (not including expenses).

Cons

- They literally hire hundreds of workers for a location. - Shifts (blocks) are nearly impossible to get. - They tolerate drivers who cheat by using bots to get their shifts. There were 3 guys at my location (5845 Highland Ridge Dr, Cincinnati) that were ALWAYS there. Their phones automatically gave them shifts, and they weren't even swiping. - No mileage reimbursement, so $32/hour gets reduced when you pay for gas, maintenance, and general wear and tear on your car. - They will fire you using false data. In my case, they told me I missed a 9:30 p.m. shift. I appealed, told them there is no such thing as a 9:30 shift. My appeal was denied. - Don't be fooled, this is hard work. Yes, I enjoyed doing it, but you will have customers who live on a 4th floor of an apartment building that order big bags of dog food and cat litter and such. Youu will sweat doing this work.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
