Pros

- Get to start work promptly

Cons

- One afternoon's 'training' on site and you're dumped with parcels on your own from day 1 -Depending on when you start, might not get paid for a whole month -Fuel not covered -Vehicle expenses not covered -Insurance not covered, deducted from pay -Poor communication from senior personnel -They claim you can be as flexible as you want but that wasn't the case in my experience -Delivery to offroad places which is taxing on the vehicle -Expectation to deliver parcels outside your typical route -Exposed to the elements due to nature of the job - Have to use your own mobile and Data- buy a cheap phone - For less than £1 per parcel you're expected to be a customer service representative as well since Yodel give customers your number -Overall not a sustainable long term job if you want to progress. Stop gap job really - If you deliver parcels early, you get docked pay for being efficient at your job which is ridiculous

Pros

Lots of cool perks, like free food and back massages, and good training.

Cons

All sales jobs are tough this is no exception, you have to get used to people freaking out on the phone at you. That's actually par for the course of course.
