Pros

Working as a messenger you don't have to be stuck in the office and you make your own schedule. You also get to see something different and learn something new traveling around NYC on a bike. Also the benefit of exercise

Cons

Work is up and down. On days when there's inclement weather the money is better and on nice days it's slow. Also the amount of work you receive is subject to whether the dispatcher likes you or not.

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.
