Pros

No stuffy office setting. Little or no b.s. from any type of management personnel. Good comradeship with fellow drivers. Money in your pocket at the end of every shift. Free pizza when management allows. Your vehicle is basically your "office".

Cons

Top downside is the toll that delivering pizza takes on your car. Repair and/or upkeep costs on personal vehicle. You make minimum wage ONLY when you are NOT on a run. You make a pathetic $4/hr when you ARE on a run. Papa Johns charges a $2 delivery fee to the customer. You get $1.30 of it per delivery, and PJ's keeps .70 cents of it. Payday is every two weeks and considering how small it usually is, they should pay you weekly. Lastly, you better buy a GPS device.
