Pros

Driving the shuttle you earn tips. You meet people from all over the world. You work independently. The pay is above min wage.

Cons

High turnover. Manager finds is always negative and will never appreciate your hard work . You will work weekends forever and if someone calls In sick then someone else will be working 16 hours. No benefits. No future. You will be tormented on your days off or when your not clocked in. Some of the women there are evil, hateful and will backstab and make up lies about you.
