Pros

Fun, young office culture. Lunches and snacks were provided daily. The team I worked with was the best, we worked well together even when things were stressful and frustrating.

Cons

Stressful and frustrating. Very little clear communication between the management team and the lower level employees while I was there. We were kept in the dark about a number of things. Did not feel like feedback we provided as a team was seriously taken into account when making adjustments to the day-to-day operations of the company. Very little opportunity for upward mobility in the company if you were good at your current job. At times, the executive team gave off vibes of workplace misogyny. It was never directed at myself, but I witnessed my fair share directed at coworkers.

Pros

Excellent work environment- casual dress code and relaxed environment. I love the ability to take ownership over my projects, which enables me to do things the right way from the ground up. Working schedule is great and everyone shares the same positivity on a daily basis. It is really a place you can feel at home.

Cons

As it is with any start-up, there are times that you have to buckle down and work hard. To some, this can be stressful, but to others (including me), this is an environment to thrive in.

Pros

Minimum stop payment guarantee Flexible hours, great for students or people with other stuff going on Friendly staff Great support I've had several jobs using my own car and this is by far the best. The work is steadier than with my previous delivery job, and the ninjas seem much more valued and appreciated than I ever felt there. I also like this job better than driving sidecar or uber because I get to get in and out of my car at each stop instead of just sitting in my car all day which is really no better than sitting at a desk haha.

Cons

You're an independent contractor, so no taxes taken out or benefits, which can be a hassle(at least for me, but not for everyone) Not really a career, doesn't seem to have too many advancement opportunities that I can see. More of an interim job than something I'd want to do forever(but that's just me) Sometimes you have to carry heavy heavy laundry upany flights or stairs in old buildings with no elevators. So if you're averse to lifting this may not be for you.
