I personally like it.  Yes it's fast paced, and at times a lot may seem expected of you...but if you just work hard and keep your pace of work consistent, you'll be fine.  And yes there is time to take a break or two. It's at your discretion, and not taking a break isn't gonna help you or make you look better, as a matter of a fact it's encouraged that you take your breaks. I mean if you prefer to go in a bottle because you think stopping to use the bathroom somewhere is gonna take too much time or make you look bad....well first off your wrong, and should probably be more concerned with developing a more consistent and efficient process to how your doing your route. I mean really, if I got to go I got to go, and I will take the time needed to find somewhere to go and then just get back to it. No one is gonna fault you for it, and as long as your staying on task throughout your day, you'll be fine. Which is part of what I like about the job, it's very independent, you determine your own success by how on task and consistent you are. Sure it's gonna be tough at first, like any new experience or process, but as long as you keep trying and keep going at it your gonna get better and find that you can align with and even exceed what is expected of you. Also, with it being the fast paced job that it is, the days go by fairly quick. And when problems arise, as long as you are upfront and honest and communicate with dispatch about things, they will provide assistance in every way they can. 
It can be tough at times sure, but it's really not a hard job. I like it, the pay is decent, and the benefits are pretty decent as well. Just always show up, get your route done, be safe and don't damage the vans, always communicate any problems or concerns, be honest, work hard, and as long as you just keep trying you'll be fine.

Hostile and toxic management environment.  Taken advantage of their employees and hanging money over every one's heads and never following through.  As a driver you are expected to complete your own route but also take o additional route assistance for other drivers.  At times you would be required to complete 1.5-2 routes deliveries.  When it came to the vehicles being damaged no one was held accountable and the Fleet Manager is required to do all repairs and the lowest cost even if not legal.  All write-ups on employees and employee pay were gossiped about by management.  If management couldn't find a reason to let you "go" they would force you to quit so they didn't have to pay unemployment.  Very Toxic and hostile environment. No lunches, toxic environment, treated like you as a person are just there for labor and not as a person.  Work/Life balance consists of WORK!  Gossip constantly within Management.  Management telling employees confidential information to other employees. Management disappearing for hours without checking in with dispatch or available to call if an emergency occurs. 

Overall a fun job. The workload is what it is, it’s not for everyone. It’s very fast paced and you have to be a self starter. They did a complete management revamp about a year ago and boy what an upgrade! Managers care about you and they are fair. They consistently try to help folks to learn and be able to do the job but a lot of people do come and go because they damage the vehicles or they have not a lot of motivation to get the job done. This job is hard at first but once you learn organization, time management and the ability to think on the fly, it’s pretty easy. Coworkers who don’t pull their weight is a bummer but they usually work themselves out. Expect between 130-190 stops on full sized routes and between 250-450 packages per day. Sounds daunting but it’s not. When you first start you will be given smaller routes to try to learn the process and YOU WILL BE SORE if you weren’t very active beforehand. I suggest you learn the dynamics of driving a larger vehicle beforehand as the vans you drive are pretty big. The pay is pretty good for a position that requires no experience too.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Schedule of four tens and the drivers were good people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having clear directions or a SOP for troubleshooting any situation.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management did not possess any quality leadership skills. Constantly changing goals and no clear expectations. Drama/emotionally led management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Rush through vehicle check, stand up meeting about goals, rush through loading because there's a strict time window, deliver anywhere from 200 to 320 packages from a rural or urban route- consisting of 150 to 200 stops. Disputes with Amazon were fruitless about route quality. If yoy got done early some how (usually with no lunch break, but maybe a 10 min break) you were expected to help another driver finish their route. Management made that part of a requirement for their lead drivers.

Physically demanding fast paced detailed orientated job  4/10s schedule not always full 10s ,work schedule ebbs and flows with package  count. There’s a slow season on average expect to work 32-36 hrs a week driving large vehicles down all sorts of terrain  and learning how to navigate these very large vehicles, via wide turns and other aspects ect.. 
Organization will make or break your day and how well you do on your route some routes are very demanding ,company has a wide range of individuals and management  willing to help the willing basically ask for help if u need it and management and work leads will help but you have to ask. Pays better than most starter jobs in the area with a decent schedule where you could get a second job if you wanted to

Used to be a lot better. We had incentive bonuses to make us feel at least semi appreciated. The management changes seemed to maybe be on the right track however now the manager who hires drivers is someone who has never even done a full size route, and will harass you over your time card  being off by one or two minutes. The owner hardly ever shows up despite claiming “JAWS is a family”. He used to at least seem to care but after the management changes something changed. The opportunities for advancement are incredibly few and far between, don’t expect to get a meaningful raise unless a dispatch position opens up.

This company has unrealistic expectations. Deliver 300+ packages in 6 hours. Seems easy on paper untill your in the seat. Some stops are 2 miles apart and they want you there in 2 minutes. But if you speed you get in trouble. If you fall ill while on shift they write you up for abandonment of route. If another driver damages the van and you dont notice it right away you get pinned for it. Management don't care about you they just want packages delivered. Many times I would run to houses and still be "behind" unless your speedy Gonzales this job is tough. Management has told me that if I couldnt do the job I was worthless. I have worked harder jobs then this one. And delivery for Amazon was WAY more demanding. 

Personally for an entry level position this is a great paying job! If you are self motivated and like working alone this is the perfect type of job! 

JAWs has gone through a number of administrative changes, so I feel like the company is moving in the right direction.

Our DSP services the port orchard and gig harbor area, so naturally the routes we see are rather large, which can be intimidating for some people.

Benefits are great, I believe offered after 30 days.

Time off is easily accommodated in slower times of year.

Most coworkers suck, terrible at their job. It’s said in another review if you’re a lead driver, you lose the ability to say no to helping and become unable to have a life after work. The other drivers lack energy and a sense of responsibility and commitment.

I can say other’s experience with management is different from mine, it’s definitely more positive.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The customers and employees working by yourself being outdoors 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting quotas and holding a high standard with not a lot of feel like you are not just a number 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Wet Washington weather you work independently 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come to work get load up and head out
