Pros

They're still pro remote work. Great for learning about the fundamental unfairness of life at a deeper level. You learn a lot about politics. The phrase perception is reality will be hammered into your bones and tattooed to your nerves.

Cons

If you join, you will suffer. This is by design. It's not the work - though they will overwork you. It's primarily because of the fear-driven toxicity that pervades the culture. Doordash is a system built to shield executives from risk, and push accountability and blame downwards. It is command and control, tops-down, principle of least information. Your coworkers will be your enemies and your managers will throw you under the bus. No one invests in systems, because they've learned how to hide bodies and pin the blame on someone else. It's over-run with MBAs who wield buzzwords like weapons, think anecdotes are silver bullets, and are obsessed with control. Complexity will be oversimplified. Narratives will be managed at every level.

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.
