Pros

Guaranteed hourly rate of pay Work in a single location Only have to drive to work and home In store support staff

Cons

No tips or large order bonuses Cannot refuse a batch, ever Training is minimal Combative culture between In Store Shoppers (ISS)and Full Service Shoppers (FSS) is rampant because FSS tips may suffer if ISS is not accurate in picking and packing groceries Metrics are counterintuitive. ISS gets SPEED emphasized overall and as a result, accuracy suffers. Customers frequently give poor ratings on replacements suggested by the app.

Pros

We solve really hard problems and utilize everyone's unique skill set. Engineers have a fair amount of flexibility on which projects they work on and the role they play -- your business and product ideas are valued. Our work is meaningful -- we help millions of elderly, disabled, busy families, and others with groceries while employing tens of thousands of people. The company is headed to a great place and it's awesome helping us to get there.

Cons

As a tech company disrupting an old industry, there are more business stakeholders than your typical tech company. For some engineers this can be frustrating, but we work together and find great solutions that draw from everyone's experience.
