Pros

Exercise in 100 degree weather

Cons

Ultimately, the bike zone seems like a good idea. It's a small area where the most you might bike is three miles, in one direction. My average delivery time was about 34 minutes. However, I can't ever get on the schedule for that $9 minimum guarantee even when I log in at the exact moment the new schedule is released. So I'm on call a lot of time. I have stayed under the shade of a tree in a hot zone (where there are supposedly more Favors) for over an hour without anything but two favors that were cancelled immediately when they were sent to me. I have been given pizza orders. I have been assigned Favors where I have to bike two miles away, then two miles in another direction. I always accept them because the favors are really that sporadic. I'm not the fastest cyclist out there, but I go pretty fast. Even with communicating every step along the way to my clients, as well as adding various emojis and slang so that the millennials might understand, I averaged less than $6 an hour (roughly 6 favors per a 4 hour shift). From the amount of physical effort it takes to bike 4 hours in these hot summer temperatures, earning $20-$22 is simply not worth it. If you're looking for a part time job, try a temp agency or restaurant food runner/busser/expo that at least pays minimum wage inside an air conditioned building.

Pros

None whatsoever I’m not even joking. Oh sorry they will currently give you $20 for completing 80 deliveries which will probably account for 800 miles of driving

Cons

This platform is bad, if you’re not selective they will require you to shop for 50+ items then drive 11 plus miles for only $18. There is definitely a lot better platform and apps that pay better. Be careful only about 5-7% of the offers sent on favor platform are good which is why I have an acceptance rate of only 13%.
