Pros
You get to make your own hours
Cons
You only make money if you go out at nights on the weekend. There used to be a lot more bonuses and incentives.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Lyft full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
You make your own hours. Tips can be great at times, on Saturday night you're making at least 200 bucks if working eight hours. They have this great program where you can rent and if you do 110 rides a week it's free.
Cons
Some weeks you're making 12 bucks an hour if people don't tip. If you're using your own car it's deathly not worth it.
Advice to Management
Would be nice to be guaranteed x amount of dollars per hour at the very minimum.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Lyft full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Flexible hours. Meet interesting people. Every day is different. I love being part of a rapidly scaling company. Has a driver advisory council (DAC) to get feedback to HQ.
Cons
All the naysayers and complainers who don't take the time to find resources to learn how to be successful, they want everything handed to them for no effort
Advice to Management
Bring back mentoring, more thourough preparedness for new drivers.

"Customer Support"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Lyft full-time
Pros
Lyft is a great place to work. The office is wonderful, the employees are happy, and the benefits are great.
Cons
I can't think of any at this time, except maybe if you're looking for a simple 9-5, the hours can vary greatly.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros
Pick your own hours
ability to rent a car through the express drive program
car is really nice
listen to your own music, no bosses, be in your zone when no PAX are in car.Cons
customers are butholes, they rate you low for no reason. then jeopardize your whole career.
nearly impossible to meet the weekly incentive to make the car payment relatively reasonable. so you will pay darn near 1,000/ month for a chevy cruze.
they lie about how much you make, while it says passenger was charged $3.50, (so you get 2.68), they are truly charged $5.50. they lie to you about how much they get. (obviously way more than 25%)
i do this strictly for the car, and not having to deal with management and a strenuous job. i don't profit anything majority of the time they end up taking money out of my bank account weekly for the car because the ride demand is so low, i just need the car.Advice to Management
rating system sucks.
make your car payments lower, or lower the bonus goal- its literally impossible.Lyft 2017-08-17 15:35 PDTHelpful (5)

Pros
Lyft as a corporation has very good values and a good heart, which is rare nowadays. They care about their employees. I think if you work for certain branches of the company, your life is great. If you work for others, not so much. I thought the company itself was good overall, the pay was fair, and the benefits were very nice.
Cons
My position itself was very difficult to handle day in and out. As a community associate we are yelled at all day by drivers who think everything is our fault. I could only take so much of that for so long. However, I think it wears down even people with the thickest of skin.
Advice to Management
Give community associates the opportunity to get into marketing and other roles so they don't get burnt out.

Pros
Work when you want. Sometimes pay is good. When surges happen then pay is good
Cons
Summer pay sucks. No more surge, or barely any. Too many hours just to make 100 a day. Gas waste.
Advice to Management
Have a line for drivers to call. Or a text chat line for help. And do better marketing in Miami for riders

"Love it"
StarStarStarStarStarPros
Make your own hours. Meet great people. Rate is great and tips are a real plus. Overall great experience, great company.
Cons
Contractor so no benefits. You don't get any health care or retirement of any kind. Plus you pay for your own gas although you get a discount from Shell.
Advice to Management
Create more permanent jobs so that people can have benefits.
