Pros

work independence, no boss, no set schedule, can make a little more than some other hourly jobs

Cons

low hourly rate overall when compared to tax burden, gas, and vehicle repair/maintenance Too much incentive given for early mornings and late nights - no incentive for someone who may not drive at those times but is consistent and reliable.

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.

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
