So Much Worse Than You Know - Staff Software Engineer DoorDash Employee Review

Work when you want. Income driven by input. Controlled work environment. Great work conditions. Flexible hours.

Forced to take cost inefficient orders to keep rate up. Food service often messes up order. Little recourse for customer service. Wear and tear on car. Some days aren't busy

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.

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.
