Pros

Decent pay for pt work

Cons

11/23 was my first delivery. I was not given anything that identifies me as an Amazon Flex driver. Was not given a required reflective vest. Was given only 2 stickers saying "sorry we missed you...." I had a ton of packages..mostly envelopes I had to leave at front doors because the multiple apt complex office did not take packages for absent residents. The app is extremely unreliable. When choosing a customer to scan it suddenly goes back to the map to start navigating when I chose multiple times "I've Arrived." It wouldn't scan bar codes half the time or if it did you wouldn't know it. I had issues at the start while trying to scan packages at the DC. I could spend 5 min at a customers door trying to get the app to scan without success, randomly. They expect you to call cust svc every time the app is stuck. If you do that you will be on your shift way past its ending time and you will not get pd past your shift end time. When I returned one pkg to the N. Austin DC I had to call cust svc to mark all pkgs except one as delivered. The rep Confirmed she completed this request. So, I get an email that says I have undelivered packages that need to be returned to the DC and, "The package status and reason you provide in the Amazon Flex app are shared with the end customer. If a package is scanned incorrectly, the customer experience is negatively impacted." The problem is the app malfunctions a majority of the time. This was not my fault and I don't appreciate being treated as if I was an unreliable driver. I worked my butt off and had 3 or 4 apt complexes to deliver to...not an easy task.

Pros

Get to pick your own blocks

Cons

Driver support is not helpful at all. You call with a question or an issue and they talk over you and say you can call back if you want. They are not friendly they are rude and no help at all. They over talk you and dont listen to the issue. Also the workers at the station are just as rude. I had a question and one worker told me didnt you train on your phone for that. I was like are you serious you cant answer my question and he walked away. Granted it was my fisrt time at that particular work station.
