Pros

Nothing is pro, they pay under minimum wage

Cons

You will get a batch payment 7 dollar to go pick 40 items from aldi which can take easy 1hr 30min for all the changes then checkout putting all that in car. People usually do not tip or give 2 dollar tip, so this is a complete utter garbage because you also have to deliver items on 3rd floor with an elevator as well. instacart is very greedy and cheap for customers to order.

Pros

It’s a good part time company to work with, it gives you the opportunity of having customers tip you, so every week money fluctuates

Cons

As I said, is a good part time job, if you are looking for making the same amount of money every week, then this is not for you, some weeks are super good and some are super bad. Not even talking about the “Hunger game” you have to go through to get some hours during the week. I guess when the word spread more, we will have more customers=more hours.

Pros

the pay considering the job and the flexibility

Cons

the harshness on employees when it comes to reliabilities (ie, lateness, dresscode, absence, speed) so much as 3 within 3 months gets you fired. If you don’t meet your speed within 3 weeks, they fire you. Even if you have medical documentation they will either reject it or suggest you take a medical leave.
