Impact - Associate Director Capsule Employee Review

Technology, innovation, disrupter in retail pharmacy

Difficulty as a start-up managing costs vs revenue in an existing field

You work alone with no micromanaging Finish your route early? Still paid for the full 3-hour window

Zero reimbursement for gas, vehicle maintenance, insurance, repairs, or wear-and-tear—you eat all those costs Must use your own cell phone and data plan—no company support Classified as W-2 employee, so no way to deduct business expenses (IRS allows ~$0.76/mile for mileage)Average route ≥35 miles = ~$27 in unreimbursed costs per shift A “$24/hour” 3-hour shift drops to roughly $15/hour or less after mileage alone “Tips” are paid to the company, then added to your pay as “incentives” — not classified as tips, so you’re fully taxed on them with no tip tax benefits Extremely high turnover—constant stream of new people because they burn drivers out fast They’ll run you ragged, then move on to the next driver This might be tolerable as a very short-term cash grab (one week max). Long-term? They exploit you and don’t care. Don’t do it.
