Pros

Weekly deposits are the only good part

Cons

App doesn't tell you where you are going, I was stuck on a 2 hr trip once Pay ends up being roughly $5 per hour after gas and vehicle expenses No pay increase for evenings, holidays, or weekends They offer incentives and then create routes for drivers making it impossible to hit those incentives There is no customer service or anyone to answer questions when you have them App takes you on inefficient routes about 30% of the time DON'T DRIVE DURING THE DAY! You end up with grocery shoppers that want to fill your car up with groceries and then expect you to help load/unload

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

Pros

You can easily make $20 an hour working when you want.

Cons

Sometimes there are unexpected slow times you count on and don't make your goal. Also have to get used to GPS and be proactive with directions
