Pros

Flexibility to work when you want, meet nice people, different shifts throught the day, good exercise going up and down stairs.

Cons

Pay was $7 per stop and many nights i was only getting 3 or 4, but gauranteed min. of $40 for 4 hours..then the pay dropped to only $5 per stop and they expect customers to give tips..they expect you at the drop shop 30 minutes before and check bags but with NO pay...and you drive everywhere in San Francisco a few times before i quit i had to drive 30 minutes due to traffic and distance for only $7 no tips at that time. alot of wear and tear on your car... STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND CONTRACTORS better off working for a company that is W2

Pros

Excellent work environment- casual dress code and relaxed environment. I love the ability to take ownership over my projects, which enables me to do things the right way from the ground up. Working schedule is great and everyone shares the same positivity on a daily basis. It is really a place you can feel at home.

Cons

As it is with any start-up, there are times that you have to buckle down and work hard. To some, this can be stressful, but to others (including me), this is an environment to thrive in.

Pros

Minimum stop payment guarantee Flexible hours, great for students or people with other stuff going on Friendly staff Great support I've had several jobs using my own car and this is by far the best. The work is steadier than with my previous delivery job, and the ninjas seem much more valued and appreciated than I ever felt there. I also like this job better than driving sidecar or uber because I get to get in and out of my car at each stop instead of just sitting in my car all day which is really no better than sitting at a desk haha.

Cons

You're an independent contractor, so no taxes taken out or benefits, which can be a hassle(at least for me, but not for everyone) Not really a career, doesn't seem to have too many advancement opportunities that I can see. More of an interim job than something I'd want to do forever(but that's just me) Sometimes you have to carry heavy heavy laundry upany flights or stairs in old buildings with no elevators. So if you're averse to lifting this may not be for you.
