Pros

If you own your own van and manage to work full routes 6days a week, (200+ parcels a day) you will make money.

Cons

You become a slave if you rent a van from the company Long hours Could sometimes get 400+ parcels You will be in debt with the company you are working for Parking tickets will be passes onto you plus admission fee Work is not always guaranteed Company likes to hold your funds for weeks at their discretion You must pay to use a useless app that belongs to the 7Days I could keep going

Pros

- Self employed so you can take any days off as you please (must work minimum 4 days a week, weekends are gaurenteed as alot only want mon-fri) - Diverse teams including female drivers - Opportunity to travel around when cover is needed out of other sites - Opportunity to do a different range of jobs within your own contract which enhances CV from the skills (i.e. delivering, on site manager, pick ups from businesses that sell on amazon, training new drivers) - If we require a van, nothing is older than 2017, most of them are 2020/2021 - Starting us out on a smaller van to get used to the job really helps boost confidence before moving to a larger one (if you want one) - Lots of happy and friendly customers during the day! :)

Cons

- Delivering for Amazon who are insanly demanding at times - The recruitment process needs to make sense as there is a huge staff turn around with amazon DAs in general, but also some don't even make it past training before leaving - Pay could be better with rising costs of fuel especially (that's directed to amazon who forward the pay to us via our company)! - The van rental stings which actually puts alot of new drivers off at £200/week

Pros

You will get a new van that you will keep after work

Cons

After all the pay cut you are left with nothing, and they don’t care after 3 weeks of work your first take home maybe £80
