Pros

- great coworkers within teams - benefits and perks on par with top SV companies/startups - collaborative work environment

Cons

- poor management, people with no experience get promoted into leadership positions and make power plays - low salaries for everyone outside eng, sales, and HR - very fratty/bro environment which idolizes NCAA athletic resume over job experience - lack of direction. employees told to take ownership over projects and then are micromanaged or fired for not doing things a certain way

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.
