Pros

Not much. Loose supervision. Freedom to develop skills -- if you have time, and you'll do it completely alone.

Cons

HR is the WORST. They will lie to your face with a smile. New management will come in and decide you suddenly are a terrible employee and fire you -- the while everything was great before this person was brought in.

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.
