Pros
Can work around availablity - subject to them dropping your requested days
Cons
More often than not you will put in working for 5 days, however you are not guaranteed these even if you've worked there longer than the new starters and there's lots of those.
You get told on the morning of the working day if you have a route, this can more often be as you are heading to the depo.
You will talk to them and ask for guarantee of 3 routes a week, they will say they will so you put in the 3 days you're available and sometimes only get 1 route.
Bonus is based on the whole of drivers performance not just your own.
Outside of this it's encouraged but not written down to speed as you have a 10mph over limit on the tracking.
Amazon supply far too many parcels to deliver safely without speeding, and you will likely lose your job of you are frequently behind.
You start work from 11 and without speeding you will often return to the depo for around 9.30.
Roughly £12 hour.
The routes are set up by Amazon to get at least 9hrs driving for the money they pay to the company to pay you (and speaking with some of the other companies owners hey get a good tonne after fuel, insurance, wages and repairs are paid). Leaving drivers scraping by in comparison.
Oh you get paid a bit more if you register for VAT, even though you're wage won't amount to the minimum VAT requirements, and as your not paying fuel, you are basically covering the companies VAT rates.
