CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great conversation with random people is always nice. you can make decent money depending on your city.

Cons

The pay is heavily location based. if you in a city that drives a lot you won't make much besides the drunk party crowd. The bigger less car dependent city you make more. Pay is erratic some days good some days bad. Hardly no support from Lyfts end
