Pros
Can't think of any, whatsoever
Kontras
Dirty smelly vans and crates, dirty warehouse, customers treat you like dirt, low wages, impossible time deadlines, patronisingly unhelpful bullying and miserable dispatch staff who only do that job to dodge doing deliveries, dangerous working conditions, you are expected to deliver crates of water up many flights of stairs, sometimes up to 25 crates per customer (who just watches you break your back then just slams the door in your face) stressful journeys, pointless journeys, getting messed around when you return filling out re delivery forms and putting customers shopping back, having to explain to customers why you cannot make their delivery, to which you get verbally abused, getting home at one in the morning, only to do it all again the next day, it is a demoralising job and I would not recommend it to anybody. Do this job and eventually something will happen to you, ie accidents and injuries are commonplace, no matter how careful you are. Half the drivers are off sick with bad backs, knees, shoulders, and work related stress. Arguments and bickering between dispatch and delivery drivers are a common thing, all in all it leaves you going home feeling miserable. Absolutely horrible job. I wish I never took up the position. I am going to leave.
