Pros

Running your route on your own

Cons

Unpredictable hours. You start at 3:30 and get off whenever you’re done for the day which is different every single day. Impossible to plan your life when you have no idea when you will be off of work. 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay Constant calls from management while you're out on your route or when you’re already home telling you that you need to make extra stops. No paid time off or vacations as it is extremely frowned upon to take a day off even when you’re sick so guys are regularly coming into work while sick. Terrible management that does not care about you and just sees you as a number
