Pros

Starting wage of $19.06/hr, Paid Holidays, Benefits.

Cons

The volume of big, heavy, Amazon packages to be delivered on a daily basis is staggering. Subs have to work holidays and Sundays running Amazon. They are always short on carriers, so on a regular basis, you will most often be carrying 1 1/2 to 2 routes (doing the work of 2 people) to cover for no shows, vacations, and call offs.
