Pros

An opportunity to make side money Flexible shifts

Cons

App is horrible, and will use 100% of your battery in 2.5-3 hours. Turn by turn navigation of a lot of times off or wrong. I've ended up in dead end roads multiple times. No rhyme or reason, why some pick ups are 40 packages, some are 3. Most are over 30. Takes longer than the block time to finish deliveries. Camera on the app takes too long to snap a photo. They wont let you choose or trade pick ups, even if two people next to each other have deliveries in the other person's city, and the cities are 50 miles apart from each other. Too much gas. I drive 30 miles to get the the hub, and most nights, I end up and hour to an hour and a half away from home. Hard to get offers Offered more blocks in other cities than my own, cities that are over 100 miles away. Delivering at night can be really sketchy in some areas, and dangerous. Also you have to be very careful not to trip constantly in the dark. Sometimes you will get a delivery for something that is a closed business or to an Amazon Locker that is full and you have to come back to the hub to return packages. That can be really out of the way, and add an additional hour to your shift, that you don't get paid for.

Pros

Get to pick your own blocks

Cons

Driver support is not helpful at all. You call with a question or an issue and they talk over you and say you can call back if you want. They are not friendly they are rude and no help at all. They over talk you and dont listen to the issue. Also the workers at the station are just as rude. I had a question and one worker told me didnt you train on your phone for that. I was like are you serious you cant answer my question and he walked away. Granted it was my fisrt time at that particular work station.
