Pros

I love being able to work when I want to work and for as long as I want. Some days the money is awesome, but with any job like this it has its low points. Overall though, I've really enjoyed the job.

Cons

I wish there were more incentives. I've done a couple of them and it was great! I love the challenge. I wish there were better instructions in the beginning so I knew what I was doing. Non tippers lower your acceptance rating if you decline them and if you do them, you are basically paying out of your own pocket to deliver their order. And the non tippers are usually the first to complain about anything you do wrong. I had one complain about me because there was a wreck on the highway and I had to make my way down side streets and through traffic to get around it. Nothing I could do about it, but they complained even though I was within the time limit given. Still irks me but whatever. Only time I've ever gotten a bad review.

Pros

- The company offers comprehensive benefits and is very well-established and professionally run. - The entire process is very standardized. Whenever there are questions or approvals needed, the response time is very fast. - The office environment is great.

Cons

- Extremely toxic culture on certain teams. Working late is basically expected, and if you are not constantly online or putting in extra hours, you may be labeled as “not committed” or “not proactive enough.” There is a lot of pressure to perform being busy rather than actually being effective. - Reorgs happen constantly, and every manager change feels like a warning sign. If you get moved onto a new manager’s team through a reorg and you are not one of “their people,” good luck. They may never fully trust you and can make your life miserable until you eventually leave or get pushed out. - Leadership is incredibly political. There is a lot of sucking up, favoritism, and clique behavior. Being good at your job is not always enough. I have seen capable people get pushed out very suddenly because they did not have the right relationship with leadership, while people with weak skills but strong political instincts and good “talking skills” continue to get rewarded. - Terrible environment for early-career employees. There is basically no real training, and very little patience for junior employees who are still learning. You are expected to figure everything out on your own, but at the same time, you may still be criticized for not already knowing things nobody ever taught you.
