Pros

As a delivery driver: Take home cash every night Your out of the store enough to be able to put up with the BS and abuse in-store

Cons

No chance for advancement No chance for raises, in fact they are now paying less to drivers by operating them under the Reported Tips laws that allow them to pay up to $3 less per hour if they can show comparable tips received. Rude and derogatory treatment of the staff by the management, many bordering on sexual harassment No benefits Expect you to come in at your scheduled time and stay until THEY say you can leave, no matter what the posted schedule says or your prior/RL commitments, including family/children commitments Gross Mis-Management and blatant lies from managers regarding expectations, scheduling, training, etc... Retalitory treatment by the people in charge (GM's, AM's and shift leaders)
