Pros

Delivery driving is good work with decent tips. I spent my days listening to music while driving around the city and made an average of $15 an hour. This job is good if you don't need a serious job, since it has inconsistant earnings and a typical shift was only about five hours. There isn't much to say about the job, it's a pretty simple thing. We did sidework while we waited to be dispatched, such as restocking, folding boxes, taking the pizzas out of the oven, answering calls, and inputing orders. I only quit since I didn't want to pay for commercial car insurance.

Cons

We only made five dollars an hour, with 5% comission. The biggest problem came from being overstaffed. If you're only taking out one pizza an hour you're barely making minimum wage, since it's $5 an hour, plus $1 commission on a $20 order, plus about $3 tip. Keep in mind you're also paying for gas, as well as depriciation on your vehicle. If you get stiffed you actually paid your money to give them a pizza. If you can make enough orders it isn't an issue, and it really is a fun job. Unfortunately if you get in an accident while on the job and your insurance company finds out then they will most likely drop you and refuse to pay for any repairs since it's a commercial job, so you're SOL.
