You do not use your vehicle.

Pros

Not using your vehicle, W2 job with insurance available

Cons

- Drivers get shorted on OT pay below time and a half, since hourly rates range from $12-$24/hour they aggregate the hourly rate, while the highest hourly rates are only available at the end of the week. - Company steals tips from drivers; doesn't allow for customers to tip on the credit card, but then adds an 18% surcharge to the customer saying that is for driver pay and benefits while fares are twice the cost of other rideshares. - Schedules are released about 24-48 hours prior to the start of the week, making it hard to plan personal appointments. They set schedules so that the higher paid shifts are minimized. Working a schedule of 50 hours/week only nets out to less than $17/hour.

Really good time working there

Pros

Alto has some really cool people and the pay isn't too bad. As a driver there are always extra shifts to pick up so if desired overtime is absolutely doable.

Cons

Not too many bad things to say other than I wish they would add a tipping system in their app for customers to tip drivers easier.
