Pros

There are no positives to the doordash policy whatsoever

Cons

I don't know what's going on with doordash but they need to get their stuff straight. I currently am a driver and I probably will not use it anymore as a way to make any type of money I've been a driver since 2017 and I had a rating of 4.98 and I had also completion rate of 98% as of today I have no idea but I do know that my completion rate went down two points because of a custom of customers that went to pick up their order before I could get there one of them even reported that I did not deliver the order I hadn't even picked it up yet I get penalized for not accepting an order and for not completing an order whenever the customer goes and picks it up themselves I and don't it does not cancel the current dash that they have out the customer gets away with everything Scott free and I think it's wrong this is not an age where the customer is always right that is an entitlement that should be replaced with standards and deactivation on their side as well.

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.
