Pros

I had a great ops manager who did everything he/she could to make sure my needs were met

Cons

ops mgr was great, shoppers were great, but there was an interesting dynamic re: how much respect shoppers deserved from corporate, which is ironic considering shoppers are half the service.

Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
