Pros

Money was ok, it was helping me out for the time being.

Cons

The app glitches during my cash out and didn’t let me go back to the previous page. Couldn’t complete the order, cuz the card wouldn’t go through...there is no number to contact anybody so I couldn’t do anything. Ended up getting fired for their app malfunctioning, even though I gave them proof of what happened. Companies like this are cut throat. They don’t care about anybody.

Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
