Pros

flexible schedule, i enjoy driving, best thing is how you can take a road trip to just about anywhere and are able to dash in any location you choose at any point in which you choose without the hassle of management and without the wait of it needing to be approved no one to tell you where to be and when to be or no you can’t be

Cons

how the company and the app handles/responds to driver complaints/concerns or even unfair situations. worst of all some of the ridiculous out of one’s control situations example I cannot control whether living in Minnesota if you drive during a blizzard, it doesn’t matter your orders get marked late and when you called, they do nothing about it and then your stats go way down because you chose to drive during the blizzard out of my control, treated very unfairly in those circumstances

Pros

- The company offers comprehensive benefits and is very well-established and professionally run. - The entire process is very standardized. Whenever there are questions or approvals needed, the response time is very fast. - The office environment is great.

Cons

- Extremely toxic culture on certain teams. Working late is basically expected, and if you are not constantly online or putting in extra hours, you may be labeled as “not committed” or “not proactive enough.” There is a lot of pressure to perform being busy rather than actually being effective. - Reorgs happen constantly, and every manager change feels like a warning sign. If you get moved onto a new manager’s team through a reorg and you are not one of “their people,” good luck. They may never fully trust you and can make your life miserable until you eventually leave or get pushed out. - Leadership is incredibly political. There is a lot of sucking up, favoritism, and clique behavior. Being good at your job is not always enough. I have seen capable people get pushed out very suddenly because they did not have the right relationship with leadership, while people with weak skills but strong political instincts and good “talking skills” continue to get rewarded. - Terrible environment for early-career employees. There is basically no real training, and very little patience for junior employees who are still learning. You are expected to figure everything out on your own, but at the same time, you may still be criticized for not already knowing things nobody ever taught you.
