It's enough to get by till you find a real job

Pros

Work whenever you want. Just gotta schedule it a week ahead of time. Can get enough for rent each month. Don't really have to talk to anybody (co-workers or boss or any of the such. Just speaking to the restaurants to pick up the food and customer if needed.) Good temporary job, especially for when you are looking/waiting for a real one.

Cons

Can be given deliveries that are most definitely not worth your time doing, but if you decline too many your acceptance rate drops. If you fall below 70% you'll get less high paying orders, and dropping below 50% is really bad. You only get one chance to reset the acceptance rate, so can't keep letting it fall, so sometimes you gotta accept those super low paying orders (could very well be no tip and only Doordash pay of around $2.00). Hard to force yourself out there when you don't get punished for not doing it and don't consider it a real job. Doing pay-by-hour mostly is not worth it at all. Not enough money to really live if you're an adult because it's pretty much just relying on tips. Would prefer a job with an actually set, and worthy, payment. There are bad drivers - be wary as you are always driving.

Make your own hours and

Cons

No incentive for long time dashers only if you are willing to take far distance orders for low pay. This orders make no financial sense for the dasher

Pros

Freedom to work when you can

Cons

You have no consistent control over income I lose money working sometimes The app doesn’t allow me to navigate, blocked from option pages, help is unable to speak clearly or address the problem. Maps send me to locations that don’t exist Unavoidable or whether that affects traffic or other situations are still considered your fault and penalized lessening ability to make money. Company structured to make a profit and very difficult to earn more than $8. - $10 hourly after gas. They do not address real problems. Higher paying paid jobs pop up then removed quickly and go to other people. Lack security in their app, wild Wild West. I feel like a non profit or investor without the reward
