Pros

Freedom, Flexibility, International Clientele, Interesting Conversations, pays well if you're willing to put in the time.

Cons

Miami Drivers are insane, Lyft takes more than they use to. No longer 80/20. It's about 50/50. They are stealing more for themselves & their investors. Both the passenger & the driver get screwed, but overall the gross pay is still pretty decent compared to regular jobs that don't require advanced degrees or certifications. You will burnout if you don't take care of yourself. Make sure to counterbalance the long hours of sitting with proper diet, exercise, & healthy outlets.

Unsustainable Long Term Career

Pros

There really are no good reasons.

Cons

Due to the high rate of repairs and maintenance needed on your vehicle and the low income derived you are simply trading equity in your car for cash. You are responsible for your own vehicle, insurance, gas and maintenance. Safety is a constant issue and management has no regard for the safety of their drivers. You can expect to be terminated upon a single unsubstantiated claim of wrongdoing by any passenger seeking to avoid paying for a single ride
