Pros
Decent pay, you get to work alone & see different parts of Florida.
Cons
Turnover. Everyday comes with at least 1 threat from dispatch/management. Tools inadequate, except for what they should, but don't give & you have buy yourself. Time spent waiting around in the morning, driving to and from off-site parking and even the time spent loading your van goes unpaid. You are only paid from the moment you leave with a loaded van to the moment you dropped the last package. Parking is not secure and your personal vehicle is at risk. Vandalism has already occurred at least once and compensation was little, to non-existent in some cases. No compensation being offered going forward for any vandalism. Favoritism is at work here. If you are lucky and get to be on the first wave everyday, your vehicle may be safe at Amazon's Warehouse, otherwise you're screwed if you're on second, or third wave. Vans are filled with trash, ashes, are sticky and smell like cigarettes. Standing up for yourself in any manner usually results in your schedule being affected, or just driving to work to find that you are on standby and being sent back home, having wasted your gas and woken up for nothing, sometimes for several days. Dispatch and management are very childish and abusive with their power. When their equipment sales they expect you to use your own expensive smartphone, but will not insure, or reimburse should your device get broken. You use the same navigation app has the Amazon Flex drivers and it is horrible. You will experience many times where you have to visually navigate and find your way even without seeing any road lines in the navigation app which happens very often. Any packages that don't get delivered have to be brought back usually in your own vehicle. Expect your paint job & interior to suffer. Scare tactics including: screaming/yelling, job security threats, red faces, etc have been used to scare drivers even when personal vehicles were vandalized, to ignore their cars & move product. You will have to drive up to 30 min after finishing your route, just to rescue a coworker & do some of their work, not letting you go home when you finish, taking another 1-2 hours out of your day & not getting paid any extra for it when other DSPs working for Amazon pay their drivers $1 per package on rescuing a coworker. Uneven routes that could end you having up to 330+ packages to deliver & you might even get 90% apartments. Apartment leasing offices that don't accept packages & have no package locker, coupled with you being stressed for time means either you door-drop the packages, or damage your personal vehicle at the end of the day bringing back a ton of packages. Door-dropped packages & high apartment routes lead to higher concessions. High concessions equals write-ups & termination. It's a no-win situation. The summer heat will kill you & some days you'll go home completely soaking wet, but that's to be expected though.
