Pros

Some nice coworkers, free therapy which was much needed living through this job, $200 free Lyft credits every month which seem to have been disbanded since I left,

Cons

EXTREMELY low pay for the type of work and amount of it, brutal job tasks, basically getting yelled at all day by drivers, felt unsafe at times when drivers would come in mad, we had to go through safety and de-escalation trainings where we learned how to escape if there was an active shooter at our hub. sounds dramatic but I feel like I have mild PTSD from the job. Traumatic, lots of emotionally charged driver questions regarding their livelihood, management was young and unexperienced, lack of proper training or direction for hard questions we were asked, no HR staff on site - huge red flag!!, no career opportunities and very competitive for the few jobs that opened up, constantly understaffed which made me have a lot more work that I regularly would have had, lots of overtime.

Pros

Discovering parts of Las Vegas I wouldn't normally visit. Meeting nice people from all over the Valley and the world.

Cons

With the price of gas right now, my pay for using a mid-sized vehicle averaged out to $8 per hour (before taxes), even after 3 "bonuses." This is less than the Nevada minimum wage of $12. Regardless of what the app tells you, Lyft takes about 2/3 of the earnings for each ride, charging both for the rental and extra fees they claim have to do with the cost of car maintenance. Not sure why maintenance and everyday wear wouldn't be handled by Hertz as a normal part of their fleet ownership, as it would with any other rental. Indeed, if you're doing the Express Driver program, you have to take the car for service after getting a voucher from Hertz. On a different note, the number of riders with no picture or fake names is really high in Las Vegas compared to other places where I've driven. This issue has become a safety concern.
