Driver

Flexible hours. Get to learn the city your in pretty well and occasionally get to drive friendly passengers. Probably a good gig for college students or people who really aren't depending on income.
Cons
Constant updating of the app. They now force you to use their driver app which, as it turns out, most drivers don't like. They use internal manipulation marketing to get their drivers to believe they're making more than they are. Example: guarenteed fares $200 (if you read the fine fine print) is before they take their cut. They might call that enticing. Me: insulting. They could easily guarentee 140 under the same requirements. Without guarantees or minimums you're likely making less than 10 an hour after gas and you still have to figure in wear and tear. Also, for a company really trying to stomp out their competitor Uber, by being the most politically correct and capitalizing on people's need to morally rationalize their choices, they are simply trying to mask (like most other large corporations) the walmart that they are. Biggest perks (like ride credits and discounts) go to the people the founders believe are most important... the top 5 percent. Not the faces of the company. Lots of people love working for big business regardless if they are at the bottom or not. And hey, if you just like (or need) the quick dismal cash then cool. This might be for you. Just know what it is and don't believe all the hype.

Pros
The people are great and the work is very interesting. The tech is miles better than most huge companies and the internal tools you do have to use are great. Pay is also nice; when the stock is online with offer. If it’s not, then you are making almost nothing.
Cons
Pay; if the stock drops a lot. It has dropped a ton so you most likely aren’t gonna be making even close to what you are offered. I made roughly 60% of my TC which put me in line with no name companies. Layoffs; the company is spiraling and they keep having layoffs. They also only seem to layoff competent engineers so expect things to get harder generally. RTO; speaks for itself
