Pros

$200 Lyft Credits Good Medical I was given $5000/year bonus in stock, but they will probably take that away or decrease for whomever replaces me The local team is very cooperative, intelligent, and supportive in Atlanta Lyft tries to be a supportive and innovative company There is a demand for Lyft by lots of businesses

Cons

As local "sales" you are trying to get companies to use Concierge. The platform is buggy though and it was often embarrassing selling to product when it doesn't work. Even though there was demand, I was only allowed to pursue auto dealerships, so most leads were dried up within a quarter. Regional Managers are often "yes" people for the corporate sales Executive team. They lack the ability to view the obstacles faced within the local markets, aggregate data to make SMART decisions, and have very little experience managing people. They basically meet with local Reps or Leads once a week to tell you to hit your numbers and then go back to doing who knows what and collecting an easy paycheck. Constantly told the program is unprofitable and that you should be happy you have a job. With a recession coming up, I started looking for other opportunities the first time I heard this in July of 2019. 100% goal attainment is impossible. No one is meeting their goals this month. With a sliding comp, the salary makes high $60ks to low 70ks. A year ago the position paid six figures when it was more in line with driver recruitment.
