Pros

Make your own schedule, get paid early if needed, flexible when choosing rides to take and the area you drive in, and you get to know lots of different people and the areas you are driving in.

Cons

Pay varies a lot depending on the time of day, area, holiday, bonuses available, expensive to rent a vehicle through Lyft, etc.

Pros

Lyft has a generally good culture— this is because I worked in the micromobility org and everyone was very mission oriented. They also attract great talent, and try to foster socialization

Cons

6 rounds of layoffs in from 2019-2024, lack of backfill, staff have increasingly heavy workloads with fewer staff. Also, if you work for the bike org, you could get moved to rideshare during a layoff. In Operations, not a ton of space for growth.
