Great pay Workout Fun job, if you make it

Cons

Unprofessional supervisors Could be very messy and lots of drama Have a larger vehicle for this position, and be prepared to stuff it with packages, hopefully you do not have leather seats, and be prepared to have to pay to clean your car constantly and for the random spider pop ups.
