Pros

You make so much money at this job. You can always go in for overtime on your off days or stay as late as you want. The place never closes except Saturdays starting pay is $20 for all regular employees

Cons

There is no set hours you go in at the same time everyday but don't know when you are leaving. You leave when the work is complete so for example on Monday you may do 10 hours but Tuesday you may do 18 hours

Pros

This company has some good things like Remote work that is available to everyone as well weekly pay to hourly employees. They're also desperate for employees so new employees likely have some leverage to get a few more dollars out of them when they get hired. I mean in the twin cities offices they're are down 100s of people.

Cons

This is a company that could be good, but when you combine Poor wages that can no longer provide enough for a 1 bedroom apartment in the twin cities area on a single income, expensive health insurance that raises 20-60% year over year and 2-3% raises without dealing with the fact that inflation is over 7%, it doesn't matter how good the coworkers are. This is a company that delivers food around the country, but doesn't pay people enough to eat. Their slogan is do the right thing, when in reality it's do the cheapest thing, which is why they are in a hiring crunch because people are leaving in droves and they have no incentive to keep the employees they have.
