Pros

Money was ok, it was helping me out for the time being.

Cons

The app glitches during my cash out and didn’t let me go back to the previous page. Couldn’t complete the order, cuz the card wouldn’t go through...there is no number to contact anybody so I couldn’t do anything. Ended up getting fired for their app malfunctioning, even though I gave them proof of what happened. Companies like this are cut throat. They don’t care about anybody.

Pros

You choose when and how long you work, If you get the Instacart Shopper Card they promote, your earnings are deposited within minutes.

Cons

Before the Iran war, I was making about $10/hour - not that great. Since gas has increased in price, I'm very careful about the jobs I accept so I don't spend $5 or more on gas for a batch.
