Pros

-Pay is great for what you do. Working average 5 hours a day plus driving to your houses M-F; can take home $1,500 B/W. -Days where I only worked 3 hours and made $200+. -Can make upwards of $375 in one 7-8 hour day. -Always nice starting at 8 am and being done by noon on a Friday when you want! -Awesome in nice weather; loved it loved it loved it. -Get to see areas you wouldn't normally. -You decide how much you want to work and what hours you work -Never late because you start when you want -Townhouses & Industrial Warehouses are AWESOME!

Cons

-Team leads give out and load routes for you to do so there can be a lot of favoritism involved with that. One or two guys got good routes all the time while the rest of us got crap. Basically have to be best friends with the team lead to get good routes. I'm sure not all locations are like this though. -When you get injured, their "return to work plan" is absolutely brutal. -DOGS......you can and probably will get bitten at least once. -Rain.....it absolutely blows in the rain. Good luck staying dry. -The "rain gear" they give you is horribly cheap. You sweat so bad cause it doesn't breathe at all. The shirts stink when they get even a little damp. Cheap crappy gear. -Have to use your own vehicle -No compensation for fuel or mileage on your own vehicle; even when you are driving 150+ km a day round trip. That can make an impact on your earnings! -Have to read meters in some ghetto and sketchy areas -Management can be very disorganized sometimes -High risk of slips/falls/trips/ ankle injuries etc -No benefits
