Pros

The salary is good because they're paying for your soul

Cons

I worked there when John Zimmer was leading. I experienced unclear job roles, apparent favoritism, and a lack of interest in the humanity of employees or drivers, which dramatically impacted team dynamics and my own well-being. My own manager left 5 days after I was hired and apologized for leaving me in this role. Recognizing and valuing the human aspect of drivers and employees could significantly enhance the company's reputation and workplace culture.

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
