Pros

Competitive compensation, excellent culture, good team. Big enough to have processes set up, yet not huge like Google etc. There are a lot of places to contribute yet.

Cons

Bounded product field, stock not performing well

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
