At first, I enjoyed it.  They do a great job at making you feel safe and secure here at the start, especially when you have previous employment trauma. The managers seem so "nice" and give you that feeling that they do care about their employees. The work seems rewarding at first and the physical aspect isn't as bad if youre used to physically intensive jobs. But then once you're there long enough and kind of start to pay attention, you start to notice a lot of not so great things.  Such as favoritism, never being able to please them despite meeting their expectations continuously, and terrible communication on their end. They advertise now that the hours aren't always going to be a consistent 40 a week, which is true. But even during mid to high volumn periods, you hardly ever get a full 40. You'll always be between 2-8 hours under 80 for a full pay period so be aware if you have big bills to pay. They do everything they can to prevent an employee from coming close to getting OT unless you pick up a 5th or 6th day, which isn't guaranteed either. They also don't really value their employees all that much, especially recently. You can be pretty good at the job; keeping your numbers up, staying safe on the road, following procedures correctly, managing high package volumes and stop counts well, being decently quick, all the things they want and expect. But don't allow yourself to have a bad week or any personal issues outside of work because if it effects your work ability and you make a mistake or two (within reason) you could be set up to be terminated without any notice. You won't even get a write up even if you're told you will; just straight to termination with no sit down counseling or anything to try and work through any of it, at least in my experience. They simply can't be bothered because they don't care. They also suck at keeping morale up. It was pretty diffucult staying motivated working under them. You also can't say anything remotely negative (even if it's constructive criticism) regarding upper management and how they do things, they dont like that very much. Its pretty much their way or the highway. Compared to other dsps I'm sure they're pretty decent and not as blatantly abusive, but they could be so much better. There's so much they could improve on but the simply won't. Unless you're their personal friend/family member or a suck up, you won't last there. And if you do, you probably won't be very happy the longer you're there. If you have the "at least I'm getting paid" mentality where none of that bothers you, or you're looking for a temp paycheck, or you like it because you're friends work there then I'm sure you'll be fine. But if you're looking for long term employment here I'd move on to something else. Honestly avoid Amazon altogether. No matter how accessible the job is for everyone, it's not worth the continous amounts of stress and strain, especially under dsps like this.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to work, staff is always helpful and communicative, kept me up to date with a lot of things that could easily get looked over in a training setting. I worked hard and was always recognized for it, got me a nice raise after 6 months. Made some good friends as well, I actually enjoyed waking up and knowing I was getting to work with them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Organizing the initial load up for the first month was overwhelming, but you cant really be taught that since everyone’s brains work differently. Its more of a situation where you have to figure out the way youre comfortable with numbers and letters and how your brain works.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Really good! Everyone says hey when they walk by even the higher ups. No ones gonna let you feel out of place or confused on the overall goals.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well when you get to work there is a parking lot for our company vans specifically. Head inside the break room and there’s 20-30 drivers waiting. When the managers get there they'll have stacks of paper with your route and a zip bag with your keys, charging cord, battery pack and your phone for the day with their app for proper organizing of your route. They do a quick pre-shift and you head outside to your van and you'll do an inspection. We then line up and head out to the south side and locate 1-5 carts with your load up totes pre organized to an extent and you'll have that info in the app. Next you wheel those bad boys over the van and start loading it, its up to your to have it organized because that can be a VERY overwhelming thing once you get to your route alone and being new youre a little hesitant about calling in for help so it can be big anxiety lol. But theres always a manager from the team there and honestly the guys who have been here awhile are always super helpful. Plus, you’ll get the hang of it quickly after doing it everyday lol. After everyone is loaded, head out on you route from there. If you have questions during the day you'll call up dispatch, theyre all former drivers themselves and know how to help. They'll get you through whatever even if they have to load up and head your way. ALSO DONT FORGET to grab loads of those electrolyte packets in the warehouse because you'll need those no matter how tough you think you are haha that summer route will wreck you. Especially if youre getting a lot of 3rd story apartments that ordered cat litter lol. 


If you grew up with no rules, mom and dad never told you no and you got participation trophies for everything THEN THIS ISN'T THE JOB FOR YOU. 
This is one of the biggest companies in this station for a reason, they are sticklers for the rules and that's a compliment. You are given a uniform and expected to wear it, if you don't follow the rules, you will be talked to but it's just cause they expect you to fix the issue, like an adult. Actually like pretty much any adult job asks of you.
I've been here just about a year and have loved it, strong female presence, positive support and realistic expectations. I've never needed to run, I'm pretty fluffy anyway lol, but I walk with a sense of purpose and get my route done and even help others finish their route sometimes.
We get breaks throughout the day, and honestly I check out where I'm delivering for the day and plan ahead where I can take my breaks (again, like an adult).
They just announced promotion opportunities last week and I threw my name in the ring and have an interview with HR next week. I'm still pretty new compared to others here but I love the management team here and have been asking for feedback to make sure I was ready for a chance like this!
Don't think twice, if you love independent work and being outside and working with cool positive people, ignore those haters, these people are awesome!

For most drivers this is a relatively easy job, not really much to complain about and the job is pretty self explanatory. Plenty of people who know this job is easy but like to bring theirs issues to work and intently cause problems. There are always going to be those type of employees at any job. Management is fairly good at keeping a solid team on hand and weed out those problem coworkers. I deliver primary downtown and that is the easy area. I get to spend most of my time delivering to lockers and chatting with the leasing office staff. If you don't mind working solo then this a terrific job, no experience is really required and it's pretty simple....we deliver packages to our customers. Safe driving is a big focus and I have felt like raisers are more consistent after management made that a focus. I can honestly say I am much better driver then when I first started. There are plenty of delivery companies out there, but this one has a different feel to it.  Maybe you can call it a team environment or maybe just more like people actually enjoy everyone's company and it has that watercooler effect. Give it a shot and see for yourself. 

I have worked for Tasty Trails for over 3 years, and I truly haven't had a bad day working for them yet. The owner of the company authorizes management to set the team up for success. It is a fun atmosphere, we get food sometimes and there’s recognition for performance with prizes and bonuses; but it’s also a great professional atmosphere to take pride in working hard with opportunities for promotion. Even if this isn’t your dream career, there’s tuition reimbursement for a multitude of career fields! This is a fair, professional, and very organized company. As a driver, the open communication and effort to accommodate made by the management speaks volumes. Honestly, I can talk to them about anything and as long as I give them as much notice as possible, they work with me. Even while on your route, you can call management anytime during the workday and be helped to the best of the company's ability, they’ve all done this (include the boss!) and they know how to talk you pretty much through anything. From the morning meetings to the closing shift there's always somebody there to help you, including coworkers. Overall my experience has been overwhelmingly awesome. I would recommend the job to anybody looking for a fast paced and physical job.

These are some pretty cool people to work for, I've worked for a couple of other DSPs before and this is the best run operations I've seen in awhile. They only promote from within so anyone in management or dispatch know what the job entails and how to help troubleshoot issues. If they don't know, they don't BS and tell they don't but help you figure it out. Communication is big, I learned this after a few weeks lol, but as long as you let someone higher up know what's going on, they work with you with anything you may need. I had a last minute appointment I had to make and couldn't get my shift covered but I told  dispatch asap and they helped me make sure to get done with my route on time and get me out early. I deliver mainly downtown and I know there's a few people on the team who hate it, but I love it! I was told if you're having a hard time in certain areas of town though, they can set a "preferred" delivery zone for you.
The bosses come in fairly frequently and talk with us, asking how we're doing and going over any concerns we may have. I've never met bosses who honestly cared this much about people. 
I enjoy my work/personal life balance, I work 4 days and generally 8-10 hours. If I need extra cash, they've been awesome in trying to get me an extra shift. 

Where to start, a typical day starts with collecting my tools for the day from dispatch, head to offsite parking to locate my van for the day, head back to the station to load-up my assigned route and then I'm on the road! It's a long day, 8-10 hrs but you get a lunch and if you want, two 15 min breaks. Buuuut...if you finish your route early, depending if the warehouse has any extra small routes that need to go out, you get a bonus for coming back to pick up that one! Otherwise, they're big on teamwork here and you can make sure to hit your hours by helping out other drivers. I was hesitant on applying since I've never done this before and while there was a learning curve (and your feet and legs will hurt you), this has to be one of the best jobs I've had. The pay is decent (starting any other job has been around $12/hr), you can earn bonuses based on performance weekly, benefits are good and my co-workers are great. You're going to be on the road alone most of the time but some of us like to meet up for our lunch break and people tend to gather at the dispatch desk at the end of the day. It's a lot about meeting performance expectations but we are updated on what we need to work on all the time. And when we succeed as a team, the rewards are great!

Work here if you love supportive management, being outside, getting paid a great starting rate and don't mind being coached when you do something wrong. I read some of these recent reviews and felt like I needed to speak up, this is a great job and I've never had issues with management or the job itself. Yes, sometimes the tools provided act up but please tell me where you worked before where everything worked perfectly? Yes, you will get written up when you don't do something right or run a stop sign but please tell me where you worked where you never got in trouble ever? Life is a learning experience, take the write up and learn from it.
This job is physical (you're outside pretty much all day, walking A LOT and moving packages), you will encounter issues (blocked roads for construction, a loose dog, narrow streets with no parking, package with wrong address), and if you mess up, you will be held accountable. If you don't like the sounds of this, don't work here. But I for one have loved it here and am thriving, I never realized I could be this happy at work and enjoy the people I work with (mainly cause the negative energy gets weeded out).

This is one of the top performing  companies here so there's expectations for work performance of course but scores are communicated every week so you know what to work on. If you finish your route early, they offer bonus routes (when available) and during the holidays you can earn overtime and other bonuses. While you are on your route, dispatch will communicate with you if you are behind just to check in to make sure you're ok. If needed, they send another driver to come and help you. They are HUGE on teamwork here, everyone is expected to help each-other. The loads will vary, some days you're on the road delivering all day, others you're done early. Either way, the long days everyone is helping each-other finish so we all get done around the same time. Slow days, dispatch either has you help out other drivers or (like I mentioned) bonus routes if they're available.
This is a work out, my legs were killing me the first couple of weeks but the fresh air is better than any office job. I've loved getting to know people on my route and honestly the people at dispatch keep things fun. 
These people honestly care and as long as you communicate, they'll work with you and any crazy situation you may have. Love them!

I meet with dispatch to collect my delivering device (CAT), van and route assignment, they'll also let me know if there's anything I need to work/improve on. I head to the station to load out, I have to find where my route has been staged and then load my van. From there I start delivering, the CAT tells me where to go, if the customer wants the package delivered somewhere specifically, otherwise it goes somewhere not visible from the road. After a couple of hours I'll take a quick break, either halfway through my day or towards the end I'll take my lunch. Once I'm all done I'll call dispatch to let them know and either I'm sent to help another driver, maybe pick up a bonus route (that's not every day but dispatch lets us know where they're available) or I'll be told I can return to the station. I get an email once a week from the owner that includes the report card from Amazon that scores the company and every individual driver. We earn bonuses based on our performance, the top 10 and based off of customer feedback. About once a week or so the owners pay for a food truck or will bring in breakfast. They also just announced a snow day raffle with some pretty awesome prizes!
