Good way to go broke

Pros

Meeting interesting people while doing a job where you’re supposedly a contractor, but you’re really an employee. It’s like being a secret double agent for a corporation against yourself.

Cons

People are unpredictable. Racism, sexism, threats, weirdness. Money is supposed to be 1$ a mile, it isn’t. Working fourth hours weekly won’t net you any profit u less you own your vehicle outright, and even then, you’re running your vehicle into the ground for nothing. People claim to make 1000+ a week but that is always before expenses. 30-50$ a day in gasoline, costs extra for insurance, tires, brakes, oil changes, cleaning supplies, and car washes…..and the most you can legitimately make in 12 hours time is about 250$. Sometimes as high as 320$ on the best of days. Bonus programs that lead to chasing money that doesn’t materialize because Lyft doesn’t have enough clients to fulfill the. Timber of rides needed to get their bonuses. There is evidence of preference for white drivers.
