Pros
- decent pay (paid weekly) - reimbursement for miles on personal vehicle - driver safety training provided by seasoned employees - many long term employees
Cons
- poor communication (last minute changes) between management and delivery staff - most communication is done by text/email (using personal phone {not company paid}) - large geographical territory for many delivery routes resulting in long work days (often 11-12hr work days) - long hours result in arriving/leaving the office in the morning before any managers and returning in evening after everyone has left (so if you're looking for advice/guidance as a new employee unfortunately there isn't really anyone ever available to talk with) - it often takes 4-5yrs to acquire your own delivery route which results in working in a relief roll where you really don't now where you're going to be working from one week to the next - handheld devices used for order taking are slow and not very well maintained
