Pros

Time flexible.Part time late at night that makes it easy for me to go to university during daytime. Casual dress code.Great concept and culture. I will myself order at GrubHub if I had the chance.

Cons

Outbound calls. They will measure your performance since the first ring. Focus is on tickets.Management sucks . Supervisor all they want is to show off and make you feel bad when you are not handling the expected amount of tickets. It is extremely unprofessional the way supervisors act, no wonder this company is always hiring. When you go to training they tell you is all about Customer Service. Once you hit the floor if you had no previous experience working at a call center you probably want to focus on Customer Service instead of tickets (Wrong).,,,all they care is about tickets and without further notice or letting you know they will pick on you in a way that makes them look better and you bad.In front of all your coworkers they will let you know why you are so low in tickets, and basically what is the problem with you.They compare you with another employee who has making a living out of a call center for an extended period of time. They not even give you the chance to improve or communicate their goals to you and then go from that. They just want to boss you and make you feel you're doing wrong. Supervisors tell you one day to do one thing and then other the next day. Lots , Lots and lots of inconsistencies. This place is hiring all year round( no wonder).

Pros

I appreciated the flexibility, which made it an ideal gig as a parent balancing busy schedules. The instant daily cash-out feature is helpful for managing tight finances during difficult times. I personally found the day-to-day work enjoyable, offering daily opportunities to meet diverse people and discover interesting local restaurants. Before COVID I was actually able to utilize business deliveries for networking to obtain clients for my photo both business.

Cons

Grubhub fails to honor its own guidelines and penalizes its top-performing drivers. Work is highly inconsistent; the higher your stats, the fewer (and worse) offers you receive, making financial momentum impossible. The role also carries high safety risks, forcing drivers to rush through traffic under strict time constraints. The company lacks basic empathy and support during emergencies. After a traffic accident on the job, Grubhub showed zero concern for my safety. Instead, their rigid automation penalized my driver metrics for missed offers because I was physically unable to update my app status while handling the collision. To top it off, the final straw was receiving an automated email accusing me of "abusing the system" simply for qualifying for the guaranteed Grubhub contributions I rightfully earned.
