Pros

As a driver for Papa John's you basically control your income, if you are quick and know your way around your location then you can make a decent income with tips. Also hours are rather flexible, for those who have a main job that they need to base their hours around.

Cons

Although Papa John's is a good started place for a young employee, I would not recommend working any other position than a driver or manager if possible. This is because of the minimum wage salary for insiders. Also though as a driver you are subject to high gas prices since you only get a dollar per delivery, which doesn't really cover gas expenses.
