Pros

>> Free lunch when in office only (They do not offer a stipend or any support throughout COVID despite a surge in cash flow)

Cons

>> Horrible direct leadership >> Segregated office (Many non-POC coworkers do not say hi or acknowledge anyone who doesn't look like them in the office. I worked there for years and literally 0.5% of people said hi to me or even realized I'd worked there so long) >> Every single NY Holiday party has a sex or assault scandal >> They do not offer appropriate compensation for BIPOC - they refuse to promote BIPOC, they do not raise their salaries at any reviews, they give terrible reviews ahead of compensation reviews, refuses to promote internally despite the increasing level of workload and the responsibilities of coworkers making $30,000+ than me but being white and "safer" >> The work culture asks that you work 12+ hours a day with no recognition and you get guilted the entire time if you want to have any decent work/life balance >> Non-BIPOC act surprised anytime an employee who is BIPOC makes an intelligent argument or dismisses their idea entirely until a white person says the same idea and suddenly gets the praise

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
