Pros

The true is if you need to make some money while you find a real job this is the opportunity but you will lose more than your earn in miles gas and time

Cons

They had made a lot of change a shopper can earn between $5 to $6 hourly. This job its for a person that can find nothing else they start paying as much $30 hr and now you are losing money you will have to go with big boxes to apartments just for $5dls or even less $1.30 if you are delivery only. They are changing shopper like weekly every person than used to work for them just work like 1 week. Every week it's like the company as just start because the changes no body there as more than 1 week worker.

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.
