Pros

All folks that I've interacted are incredibly bright and they take ownership in their work. They're highly willing to help and collaborate. There is a strong focus on diversity, equity, and belonging, which shows both in the culture and the increasing diversity of the team. Very competitive compensation.

Cons

Complex business/product under the hood which means that hours can be longer in order to keep up with day-to-day tasks and unexpected challenges

Pros

Fun going out and talking to people. You will interact with people everyday. You control how much you get paid. Lots of flexibility in the time between accepting an order and traveling to the store and beginning to shop. It isn't pedal to the metal to get to the store like DoorDash is. You can also cancel batches after accepting as long as you keep your rate under 15%. This is different from DoorDash where your rankings will suffer if g.t. 2% cancellation rate.

Cons

There's a learning curve and it takes a while to learn each chain of stores' items. Once you become proficient at one store, the algorithm will lowball your offers relative to other less-experienced Instacart shoppers. Overall, Instacart shoppers likely get paid similar or less than the store's regular employees.
