Pros

Steady minimum 26 hrs weekly Weekly Pay Multiple opportunities for trips and extra routes

Cons

The opportunity for trips is first come to sign up sheets first served but even then you may be selected if your route happens to align with whatever route they've got to give out. So don't bank on them for extra hours.
