Pros

- Great opportunities for newbies entering the workforce, especially after an MBA - Excellent benefits such as medical, constant swag, gym reimbursement, etc - Good compensation package especially for 20 year olds entering the workforce - MBAs valued, - Stock given to most levels

Cons

- Experience is not valued here. You have a bunch of younger people who were at the right place at the right time in director roles with no proper people management experience. - As much as it touts itself as a diverse company- in my experience I worked with a director who discriminated against women. Worst manager to ever work for. Also looked down on people that did not have MBAs. Apparently HR was in the know but yet this individual continues to work there. - No work life blend. They have unlimited PTO but the average PTO taken is probably no more than 12 days. Manager worked late into the night and expected you to do the same. Weekend working is also needed. Time consuming Tasks would come in on a Friday evening and asked to be completed by Monday.

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.
