"It was okay, but the only time you get a raise is when the government gives you one. However, at my location at least they kept the minimum wage. Most companies like Papa John's and Pizza Hut treat their drivers like restaurant servers. Yet, restaurant servers don't ruin their cars to deliver the food and they have more customers to deal with. Also can't forget the restaurant servers get bigger tips than delivery drivers."
