Pros

The flexibility it gives you to drive when want. No sitting behind a desk all day, drive around in your own vehicle, listen to your own tunes, and the more orders you do, the more money you make.

Cons

Wear and tear on your vehicle, gas, and complying with terms and conditions to avoid deactivating your account. My biggest con is have door dash ding you for being late to an establishment, or customer, when traffic is heavy, or for an unplanned delay. Another con is having my acceptance rate go down after being penalized for not having a large car or truck. Seem that they penalize you for things that are out of your control.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
