Pros

- Pay feels commensurate with the work being done - Fun atmosphere that you dictate as the driver - Flexibility of schedule and lifestyle balance as you choose when you drive - Independence to dictate the overall driving experience for your passengers - Frequent enough bonus cycles for drivers to make more

Cons

- No upward mobility, as you'll generally be paid the same as someone who just signed up to use the app no matter how long you have been driving - Although the pay most often feels commensurate with the work, the knowledge of how much Lyft charges the passengers do not add up - either charge the passengers less or pay the drivers a higher percentage - Each Terms of Service agreement update requires detailed scrutiny to understand the steps to opt out of unfair policies being implemented, as each one typically takes more and more rights away from the drivers. - On occasion there are few bonus cycles available, or they are available only at extremely inconvenient hours.
