Long Hours, not enough bonuses

Rideshare driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Independent. Make your own schedule.

Cons

Company could care less about you. They are focused on automating everything for the future (driverless vehicles). -Rentals are too expensive -Not enough bonuses -When bonuses are available you must be in city -Can only make money in city (no incentives for suburbs -Extremely unsafe environments (throughout Chicago). As a consequence you are risking your life without due compensation -Not enough rides in mornings-afternoons (must drive at night - dangerous as Chicago's leadership could care less about your safety as minimal law enforcement on roads). Put simply, Lyft doesn't pay their drivers enough. You end up receiving 35-40% of a ride. Thus, the passenger is paying too much and you're not getting enough for everything YOU DO for the COMPANY. Make sense?

Business Outlook

Pros

Freedom, Flexibility, International Clientele, Interesting Conversations, pays well if you're willing to put in the time.

Cons

Miami Drivers are insane, Lyft takes more than they use to. No longer 80/20. It's about 50/50. They are stealing more for themselves & their investors. Both the passenger & the driver get screwed, but overall the gross pay is still pretty decent compared to regular jobs that don't require advanced degrees or certifications. You will burnout if you don't take care of yourself. Make sure to counterbalance the long hours of sitting with proper diet, exercise, & healthy outlets.
