Be ready for management to retaliate

Pros

Nice cars and well maintained

Cons

They do not treat people fairly. They break their own policy. They will retaliate if you express your concerns. They will lie on you to make themselves look good.

Unfortunately Getting Worse

Pros

Late model cars are clean

Cons

They're cutting pay, pretending it's for greater flexibility. The company pays a few cents over minimum wage for the vast majority of shifts, but there's some relief b/c they paid a half hour for lunch. But that pay is going away so drivers can now "enjoy" up to an hour of unpaid lunch (if the company approves the hour that day). This is nonsense. They're trying to obscure what is simply less money for drivers (already there's no tip option in their app) with corporate smoke.

Pros

Relatively easy work. Dispatch/team leader available 24/7. Health insurance offered even for PT. Lots of downtime depending on your shift. Cars you drive are new. Shifts available for pickup easily for part time. Most passengers are very nice, some tip cash. Monthly ride credit given after 60 days or so.

Cons

(LA branches only) Close to minimum wage (outside of Friday and Saturday prime time). Unrealistic time expectations to clean your car at times. Hard to find restrooms between 10 pm - 6 am. Not as flexible as advertised. You’re under surveillance the entire time. Equipment fails regularly (phone: map and communication). No uniform allowance given. Can only drink out of alto thermal. Very little room for advancement. Customers cannot tip on app. Customers are charged 18% gratuity but drivers don’t get a penny of it directly (it goes for raffles, bonuses, pizza parties etc). Some lead drivers/managers can be rude at times. Branch manager is unresponsive to emails and phone calls. No place to hangout before or after shift.
