Pros

When you get shifts, the work is seamless, easy, and decent money for the work.

Cons

Amazon could care less that they have no fair way to disperse shifts amongst those it onboards as part of it's delivery network. They literally throw pennies into a crowd of peasants and watch us scramble for shifts. And they continue to hire more and more people so competition has only increased. It has gotten to the point where the only way to acquire shifts is to obsessively be swiping ones offers screen all day, and even then, the app is often glitchy that they dont referesh and someone else with a better signal, or quicker fingers accepts the block before you.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
