Pros

Work As Much Or Little As You Want, Schedule Your Own Hours, Take Off For Appointments During The Day, Suck, Holiday! No Boss To Micro Manage You! Opt In For Lufe Insurance, Disability Or Accident Insurance- SOME Free Or as Little As $1 Per Week! Can get paid after EVERY shift!

Cons

If you take off, you don’t get paid! Unless you do have the accident/ injury insurance that you pay weekly for - you won’t have income for bills! When it is slow, you’re not guaranteed ANY minimum earnings. .some markets are OVERSATURATED with drivers so thus equals less offers to take in naking money. . Unlike other platforms if you aren’t a PLATINUM high tiered dasher, you can’t dash now so you MUST schedule in advance to work & keep a higher acceptance rating to maintain that status. Platinum also has the access ti the best orders! So now unless you’re PLATINUM & you are doing this FULL time - you WILL NOT make it in some market areas. Lastly, penalized if you DON’T accept an offer, unlike ither platorms where you can choose to accept or not. If you DECLINE, it lowers your AR by one point - You really can’t make ant goid miney in this platform without a 70% Acceptance Rating ( One of the Platinum Dasher Requirements)

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.
