Pros

I felt as though because as independent contractors, we were making a good amount of money and we were free to make our own schedules that actual Amazon hired employees did not like us. I would find that my packages were labeled and they would be double labeled so it would screw up my entire shift and my entire delivery schedule. They would make sure that packages would be missing and packages would be placed to be delivered at houses that didn’t belong to it and if I did not deliver it to the house that it was not belong to I would be at fault. Amazon flex was brand new to the system when I started working for it so it had a lot of bumps especially with GPS system. But they are main issues I found was when picking up my Amazon flex package deliveries. I preferred to do the food deliveries it was easier Straightforward and made a lot I was able to make tips. I made a lot Pay from Tips. My average pay would be about $12 per hour, but I would end up making 35 in the end.

Cons

A lot of tear on your vehicle. My vehicle actually ended up completely breaking down and had to be called as a loss from my insurance after working for Amazon. I did not get a new car and I did not make any money off of the loss of my vehicle because I was leasing it and still owed money on the vehicle.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
