Pros

flexible work hours from week to week

Cons

company management is horrible. I worked as a driver for 1 year with an overall score of 2.5 which is a very great driver rating yet they did not renew my contract for the reason of taking 20 sick days leave through out the year which are legal by law. Their response is that there are other drivers who did not take a single day of sick leave. The termination letter came in the mail and the HR administrator didn't even have the decency to mention his or her name. I have never met them yet they can decide my job status without any direct line of communication with me. Drivers are expected to be machines and are just numbers to the HR. I also have been requesting access to my salary information on DATEV the whole year to which I receive emails saying they sent the information by mail but never received anything. I have colleagues as drivers and in the management who quit due to the treatment they receive.

Pros

-Freedom. You are more or less left to your own devices as you bike around town with minimum contact with other people. -Schedule flexibility. I pretty much always got the exact schedule I wanted and could get either less or more hours easily if requested. -Ease of work. Orders are usually not so large, the e-bikes make things not so physically demanding. -Coworkers. Most of the people are fairly easy to get along with. The shift leaders are usually very relaxed too.

Cons

-All issues related to the job will involve people you never see. Daily pushing drivers to do overtime. They'll say "just one last order" and that order will bring you to the furthest part of town away from the hub, which is where you need to end your shift. -Refusing to renew temporary contracts and ending them because they don't like you (like when you refuse illegal overtime) and using a random technicality to try and fire you. In my city, now all permanent contracts are a thing so the renewal problem isn't an issue, but that doesn't mean they won't still try to end your contract on a technicality if you inconvenience them, even if that inconvenience is within your legal rights. -I had to join a work union just because of these cons, since my location had a reputation for firing people for poor reasons and said work union forced them to rehire me twice. Either do it for just a year, have a "sir yes sir" work personality, or join a work union if you intend to join them.
