Food and people are better than the competition, pretty flexible schedule. It is a job.

No incentives, repetitive work. After a couple months you realize there is little reason to do more than the bare minimum

Pros

Youre out of the store a lot, you get to listen to your music/book/podcast a lot, good tips from customers most of the time.

Cons

Driver drama due to order assigning protocols. They replaced most delivery drivers with 3rd party delivery to save money.
