Pros

easy to get started. work your own hours (if you can find a shift).

Cons

they try to stick you with what ever routes the contractors did not pick up or want. you need to refresh your app all day to find a block of time that will be gone in a second. you are making less than minimum wage. once you factor in your mileage gas and wear and tear to your car. talk to a tax accountant you don't get much help in your taxes either. they will give you more packages than can be delivered in your block of time. specially if you dont questions anything or check your map to see if routes looks good. some people just scan whatever they give 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.
