   I never call off and try to do the job exactly as directed. I feel I am treated fairly. Your days off are on a rotating schedule (2 days a week, moved backed one day each week).
    In the past, due to short staffing and people always calling off, you would have to work on your on call day every week. But now I am on call every other week or so, and don’t always get called in for it.
    Having to help another driver on average only adds around a half hour more to your shift. So just expect that and it won’t be a big deal. 
    If you really don’t like doing any physical work, driving all day and having to walk and sometime hustle a little to get your route done, don’t work here. 
    That’s pretty much it! The only thing I’d add is, due to COVID there is no in person training. The online training is very long, boring and doesn’t really prepare you for the job very well. But the job is easy once you get the hang of it and you can call your managers whenever you have questions. They never seem bothered whenever I have to call them about anything. Just show them you’re trying and they will work with you.

You pull in clock in go to supervisor desk , get your bag with your phone , keys, gas card, chargers, go to parking lot push the lock button key till your find your van by the lock alarm, sign into flex app and mentor app scan vehicle do inspection of van for anything damaged or may not be suitable to drive after you've done full inspection, your route will come up and now your good to go scan your carts to start loading your bags for the day, but first morning start up meeting with team to see anything new we need to go over or what we lacked or succeeded in,  pull up to Amazon loading load up swipe finish start route, at each location scan packages for that location place where customer instructed or at front door, take a photo to prove delivery swipe finish on to the next stop, usually between 90-215 stops , if your lucky you'll get a 10 minute break,  after route is complete call dispatch to see if you have a rescue where you go help a colleague finish their route , if not rts return to shop to turn in empty bags and any packages that were undeliverable,  do inspection in case some happened to vehicle while you had it turn in bags to supervisor clock out go home.10-12 hour days

It's literally the same as the other DSPs . Poor management, decent pay but don't expect free time. You are expected to drive broken vans regardless if say anything or not. Bald tires, oil changes, broken pieces. I came back thinking it would be better but no. 10am-810pm. You get belittled for bringing back packages/coming back later than 810. You are expected to be a robot. Training is either in person on kindles or at home. The training does very little to actually get you prepared for the actual routes. Yes you get smaller routes to start but 200 packages on day 1 isnt small to me. Dont expect time off during peak season either. You are also required to take a driver course and the people that did mine couldn't bother to help. They expect you to hold a phone and drive 1 handed. Its gone downhill big time. It is nice being on your own but its not work at your own pace. You are supposed to get 30 min lunch but to get done on time sometimes you have to skip. Also the routes are backwards, they are put together in the most ridiculous ways that send you all over and it eats up time.  17.50 is great pay but in the end its not worth risking your life over busted vans. Overall DONT WORK FOR AMAZON OR DSPS

If you like being outside and on your own the job is actually really great. Pay could be better for what is expected. The management will write you up very easily. Returning packages not finishing routes etc. They load you up with a number of stops that basically makes it so you can't have your 30 minute lunch at times. If something holds you up like having to call driver support at a stop it could eat up precious time causing you to not finish your route then you have a write up slip waiting for you when you return. 3 months out of the year are blacked out so no requesting off Oct Nov and Dec. If you do decide to use PTO it has to be 2 weeks in advance. Management and HR is snarky and kind of rude at times. No training outside of Amazon Kindle videos. You're expected to just show up and know what to do. Often new drivers are asking other people basic questions that just one day of on the job training would cover. They tell you to pass every van through Amazon's inspection and just let them know what's wrong with the van and they'll fix it. Most of the time it doesn't get fixed and if you pass the van through inspection and something happens God forbid you're on the hook for it. I don't know how the other DSPs are but I highly suggest you avoid this one.

Management: Actually cares about employee feedback, for which they actively seek and act on. Schedule is pretty flexible, even during mandatory shifts but you’ll benefit if you plan your personal schedule and reach out in advance of required absences to have your schedule made accordingly. 

Work: Deliveries aren’t too difficult. Workloads are mostly always manageable. Take your breaks and stay on task when not on break and you’ll finish every route with time to spare.  Some days may come down to the wire, for which you’ll get help or you may bring a couple of items back. 

Pay: Pay is decent for the job you have, but naturally can be better. Management regularly provides supplemental income in the form of gift cards, food, gas cards, bonus pay for overtime, etc. People quit/are terminated regularly so OT is accessible. 

Growth: no real path for advancement unless supervisors quit/are fired. 

Summary: management is solid, clear and timely communication is key. Pay could be better, but they supplement income regularly. OT easy to come by. No real room for advancement. 

The owner Jared seemed to have little to no knowledge in the job. I would say even less leadership skills. You are penalized for being good at your job, you will be forced to go help another driver, usually a slacker if you finish early. I was hired and told that they could accommodate my request of Monday-Thursday four 10 hour days. Jared lied in my interview and that changed shortly thereafter. They expect you to be on call on your days off, and they will call you, someone calls off daily. if you have plans they threaten your job and try to bully you into coming in. They schedule is constantly changing and has no consistency. Toxic environment, if your are interested, there are other DSPs to try.

Never seen bonuses (don’t be surprised). Management will Fire you over every and anything. Majority of folks are getting fired for being humans. Does not care about their workers ; all they care about is themselves and their money. Doing a lot of work to pay the workers BARE minimum. It was a nice job until management kept changing policies, schedule and start time  messed up paycheck (record your hours) no 401 K oh and management does not care about their employees.  Work four days and off 3 is a lie.on call and if you can’t come in on your OFF DAY automatic termination.  we have a life, family and all they care about is getting packages delivered to customers who doesn’t care about us. Good luck if you work for him  get out when you have a chance.

Good Pay but management is rude and don’t care about employees or their lives outside of work. Delivering packages in any weather such as rain, sleet, or snow. Overall if you fall behind even in your first few weeks of working there you get a right up, return your route without completion, you are fired no matter the circumstances! Points system not discussed or given prior to working you’ll learn that as you go if you do something wrong! If you are looking for good pay then here is a job great for you! But if you are looking for great pay and an employer who cares about its employees etc then this IS NOT for you! If you have children or anyone dependent on you this is NOT the job for you! 

Easy job for decent money. Seems like one of those companies that doesn’t care about the employees, cares more about the company. You only have 20 minutes to load your vehicle, which isn’t hard. Just a very stressful morning. They say you start at 6 AM in the interview then tell you that you should be there at 5:30 AM to do your vehicle report all while not being clocked in. It’s only 30 minutes a day but just doesn’t seem right. Training was all online and very very little hands on, they just throw you in and have high expectations. Wouldn’t recommend!

Beware of this job! The pay isn't bad but many times you will show up and get sent home with no pay. Expect to work through lunches and not get paid for them. No breaks. You will be working for free many times. It's not a regular job, it's just a company using Amazon's flex app so don't expect stable work. When you do work expect to work overtime for free. Please, if you can find a job making a dollar or two less than this place take it. It equals out the same. At the end of the day your not making $19.50. RUN
