Pros

I love being able to work when I want to work and for as long as I want. Some days the money is awesome, but with any job like this it has its low points. Overall though, I've really enjoyed the job.

Cons

I wish there were more incentives. I've done a couple of them and it was great! I love the challenge. I wish there were better instructions in the beginning so I knew what I was doing. Non tippers lower your acceptance rating if you decline them and if you do them, you are basically paying out of your own pocket to deliver their order. And the non tippers are usually the first to complain about anything you do wrong. I had one complain about me because there was a wreck on the highway and I had to make my way down side streets and through traffic to get around it. Nothing I could do about it, but they complained even though I was within the time limit given. Still irks me but whatever. Only time I've ever gotten a bad review.

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.
