Pros

There is opportunity to move up, and they actually appear to be expanding whilst other companies are cutting back. However, the expansion has created the need to fill positions, and while they grill you at interviews (after you spend weeks trying to get one) they all seem to be disorganized and mildly incompetent. No one seems to know what is going on, or who is accountable for what.

Cons

They expect you to be available 24/7 with little to no notice, but they would never grant you any kind of leeway or favors on short or even substantial notice. You are expected to give yourself completely to a company that treats you like any other employee, regardless of your performance or commitment.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
