Pros

You are able to set your own schedule which is great, the pay is also above average for a customer service position. If you work in a small store setting you have no management so that can feel great to work on your own terms.

Cons

There would be bugs pretty frequently which made it difficult to perform your duties. You have to schedule a wider avalability to be scheduled at all, which would result in more shifts, but they would be shorter in length.

Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
