Pros

I was hired to do Driver Support via email. Overall I liked the job, for most support answers were easy to find and help. Loved that they were flexible with scheduling.

Cons

Lack of organization, had gotten several emails earlier in the week that my stats were very good, to feel free to do overtime, and also take training for 'Tier 2". Then got a call a couple days later letting me go because my stats weren't good enough. Just crazy.

Pros

-Super easy work. Everything is 100% done remotely from the interview to the trainings. If you have a background in customer service and are computer savvy you'll be fine. You'll only be answering emails. No phones! -Flexible schedules! I have the freedom to work whenever I please for the most part. Night owl? Take an evening shift. Prefer to get work over with? Opt for a 5am shift. Best of all everything is broken into 4-hour blocks...so I can work in the am AND the pm if I have another obligation in midday. This is an excellent job for a student, parent, or simply someone who does not like traditional 9-5 white collar work. -Awesome management. Truly some of the most encouraging, happy, and helpful people I've ever met. They don't micromanage at all which is a huge perk. -Concise and intimate training sessions. Learning remotely is difficult, but the Uber team makes it simple via live video chats. -Weekly paychecks! I know it sounds silly...but it really is a big perk haha. -Room for growth! Since the remote CSR program is still relatively new there is a lot of opportunity to go through new trainings, which ultimately makes you a more valuable company asset.

Cons

-At an hourly rate of $15 that is non-negotiable, funds can be a bit tight if this is your only source of income and live in an expensive state/city. -Since CSRs are contracted through a 3rd party employer, they take care of benefits, but they aren't great at all. -No paid vacation time or holiday pay. -Not the best position for someone that is not a self-starter
