Pros

I felt as though because as independent contractors, we were making a good amount of money and we were free to make our own schedules that actual Amazon hired employees did not like us. I would find that my packages were labeled and they would be double labeled so it would screw up my entire shift and my entire delivery schedule. They would make sure that packages would be missing and packages would be placed to be delivered at houses that didn’t belong to it and if I did not deliver it to the house that it was not belong to I would be at fault. Amazon flex was brand new to the system when I started working for it so it had a lot of bumps especially with GPS system. But they are main issues I found was when picking up my Amazon flex package deliveries. I preferred to do the food deliveries it was easier Straightforward and made a lot I was able to make tips. I made a lot Pay from Tips. My average pay would be about $12 per hour, but I would end up making 35 in the end.

Cons

A lot of tear on your vehicle. My vehicle actually ended up completely breaking down and had to be called as a loss from my insurance after working for Amazon. I did not get a new car and I did not make any money off of the loss of my vehicle because I was leasing it and still owed money on the vehicle.

Pros

Flexibility is great with any job

Cons

Bots continue to take the good blocks. Support isn't supportive. Pay is low in comparison to gas prices and miles the routes are. Most of the time 3 hour blocks are overloaded and end up taking 4 hours and you also get penalized for taking longer than the 3 hours and because you're already running behind don't drink anything because bathroom breaks are just going to put you further behind.
