Pros

1) Free food (for some) - it's a food delivery company so having a great selection of meals is great. 2) Hard workers - there's a strong work ethic in the company that other folks can be motivated by 3) Young environment - average age is under 30 and everyone is pretty lively.

Cons

1) Young environment - since folks are young it shows in their experience. Most folks don't have the professionalism. 2) Knee-jerk management - there's a culture of punishment instead of coaching when it comes to growing a worker. 3) Non-transparency - the company claims transparency, but communication is often dropped leaving teams to scramble around to find the answers. 4) Long hours - it's a startup. There's bound to be long hours.

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.
