When I was with Breakaway I was working at a Whole Foods in SoHo. I liked that I made my own hours and could call out anytime as long as I gave them notice within 24 hours, and although they pay minimum, you get a lot of supplemental cash from tips. I was earning, on average, between $25-$30 an hour.
Cons
The work is really hard. Although they adjust the weight they send you out with based on what they have determined your limit is, there is no way for them to give you extra protection from overworking your body, the danger of cars, or the cold in winter. I liked the job, but in the end I had to quit because it was becoming too much for my lower back to handle consistently.
