Pros

If you enjoy physical labor and being outside all day, then this is a pretty good job. Co-workers run the gamut from awesomely helpful to incredibly lazy. Full-time couriers can often make plenty of overtime. Great job for those who value independence and being on your own. Part-timers can get access to full health benefits.

Cons

Managers have little to no interpersonal skills, and interacting with them is often the worst part of your day. Part-time couriers get the shaft, with not enough hours to live on, and constantly changing schedules. Hard to get time off, even if it's your vacation.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
