Pros

Work whenever you want. Just gotta schedule it a week ahead of time. Can get enough for rent each month. Don't really have to talk to anybody (co-workers or boss or any of the such. Just speaking to the restaurants to pick up the food and customer if needed.) Good temporary job, especially for when you are looking/waiting for a real one.

Cons

Can be given deliveries that are most definitely not worth your time doing, but if you decline too many your acceptance rate drops. If you fall below 70% you'll get less high paying orders, and dropping below 50% is really bad. You only get one chance to reset the acceptance rate, so can't keep letting it fall, so sometimes you gotta accept those super low paying orders (could very well be no tip and only Doordash pay of around $2.00). Hard to force yourself out there when you don't get punished for not doing it and don't consider it a real job. Doing pay-by-hour mostly is not worth it at all. Not enough money to really live if you're an adult because it's pretty much just relying on tips. Would prefer a job with an actually set, and worthy, payment. There are bad drivers - be wary as you are always driving.

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.
