Pros

The company reputation is good and the logo is obviously well known which will t-up for great future opportunities.

Cons

Working at Lyft was an overall terrible experience. For being a public company with a lot of revenue, they did not provide the tools necessary to do the job. They cut corners paying for start-up or cheap versions of sales tools. Additionally, the leadership was painful. It was constantly changing and lacked transparency. Leaders would shift from vertical to vertical, constantly. They didn't have employees best interest in mind, and the culture was evidently bad. They were always looking out for the worst, not looking to develop and enhance their employees. In my short time there I saw them fire somewhere around 6 amazing employees. If you are looking for a company where processes and procedures change on a weekly basis and have no stability...Lyft is the place for you.

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.
