Pros

There really aren't any pros. They keep hiring too many people you can't make any money anymore and then they want to try to give you a $2 order to go 10 miles but that ain't going to happen. So yeah there aren't any pluses for this company they charge restaurants like 26% and then they charge customers $2.99 to $6.99 depending on what restaurant they are at and only give the driver $2 plus whatever the tip is. So yeah no Pros

Cons

They could put how much drivers would make a mile like Grubhub does to make it easy for drivers to accept. But what's upsetting me right now is it asked me if I wanted to set a goal. I tried and it's limiting me to a $360 goal based on the hours I was working the past few months due to peak season at my REAL JOB. So yeah I'm upset that I can't make my goal what I want to make it. If I can't make my goal what I want to make it, why ask me to make one?

Pros

If you are considering working with this platform, be aware that the management model is built on deliberate ambiguity. The app and software are designed to keep you in a constant state of uncertainty regarding your performance metrics. There is no transparency regarding how jobs are assigned or how your work is actually evaluated. This appears to be a calculated strategy to keep workers chasing 'better status' without ever providing a clear path to achieve it. You will never know if you are truly meeting expectations because the system is intentionally opaque. Approach with caution if you value transparency and clear communication.

Cons

The supposed 'flexibility' of this role is actually a double-edged sword. While the platform advertises freedom, it functions as a lack of structure and support. Because the performance metrics are intentionally opaque, the 'independence' of the job feels more like isolation. You are left guessing if your efforts are actually valued or just another input in an algorithm that doesn't prioritize worker success.
