Pros

You choose when and how long you work, If you get the Instacart Shopper Card they promote, your earnings are deposited within minutes.

Cons

Before the Iran war, I was making about $10/hour - not that great. Since gas has increased in price, I'm very careful about the jobs I accept so I don't spend $5 or more on gas for a batch.
