Pros

Flexible hours Don’t have to talk to people

Cons

I am a stay at home looking for extra income, so obviously this sounded like an awesome opportunity.....but it wasn’t what I thought. Chaos is one word to describe the pick up facility. They expect you to know certain things but if it’s your first time you could be terribly confused like I was. So if someone seems confused, being rude definitely does not help. They give you this rack with a good amount of boxes and want you to scan each one and load it up. Obviously this is going to take some time, and if you have a crying baby in the car wondering what is taking so long, it can add to your stress level. Also, when you are trying to scan packages with the app it and it takes forever and there is no one to help you, that also adds to the stress level. Also I wanted to deliver to packages south of Seattle, so when I saw the packages we all in Seattle that also set me off

Pros

Ability to work during hours of light traffic. Working independently. Beautiful scenery. Fair rating system.

Cons

Wear and tear on personal vehicle. Warehouse/check in associates can be rude. You may be required to return back to the station for no additional pay. The insurance they provide does not cover accidents. Pay has gone down. Limited block availability. Drivers restricted to certain zones now
