Pros

The hours are flexible and the job is easy. Just made sure the orders are correct before you go out the door. You're always running around so it never is boring, and being able to spend my driving time listening to audio books is enjoyable.

Cons

As long as the tips are good, the job pays off. Sometimes the in-stores tick off customers before I've delivered their order, ruining my chance for a tip. 90% of my time I'm making $4 for being on the road so tips mean everything just to break even on gas during the slow times. Also, if it's busy or someone doesn't show, don't even think about asking to leave when your shift ended 2 hours ago. I wouldn't mind if I was asked, but being forced to doesn't make me want to work harder.
