Pros

Not the hardest job out there Dispatchers don't breathe down your neck all day, you're pretty much left to your own devices. Pick your schedule Pay is ok. Nothing special but not bad enough to put in the Cons section.

Cons

Worked here for a little more than half a year, shown the same amount of respect as someone who just started. Almost no chance of advancing within the company. 10-12+ hour shifts starting at 6 or 7am depending on time of year. (Not including commute) No Benefits. No Overtime. Workload continues to rise with no signs of stopping, contrary to what management says. New inexperienced drivers have very hard time keeping up, tend to leave company quickly (within weeks to a month). This leads to many days of being understaffed and being asked to come in on days off. Upper Management will publicly shame you over email blasts if you have a disagreement to whole company instead of keeping it between the involved parties. Local Management does not seem to care at all about employees.

Pros

Great if you're; an avid cyclist, If you love being outside, Admiring beautiful buildings, seeking challenges, want to work hard, self improvement, builds character and humility. Freedom.

Cons

Self management, avoiding traffic, dealing with rude and not helpful security guards and mailroom clerks, sometimes dispatch will contact you if you made a mistake and they speak to you with a demeaning street mentality, for the most part i've had good interactions with everyone else it was honestly one dispatch i had an issue with but i try to do my best so i can avoid problems. The compensation could be better because as a courier you make a commision off each delivery and how long you are holding so every day is different, not saying its a huge con, but definitely you have to do a lot of deliveries to pay your rent and eat well.
