Pros

Make your own schedule and that;s pretty much it

Cons

Pay after you deduct your costs is absurdly low.. bout$-$6 an hour isf you count your down time. For example I left the house 11am and drove until 6pm and neted $48 with my app being on about 6 hours the rest was coming back from airport and long trips. Uber keep lowering the fees and some rides turn out cheaper than a bus ride which is great for riders but absolutely not worth it for drivers

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
