Lyft Employee Reviews about "money"

Pros

Your time and schedule is yours

Cons

Too much time (60+ hours a week) and miles on your car to make decent money.

Pros

Flexible schedule that is Ali can think of，but you work to make money，not to give cheap ride for strangers

Cons

Not enough pay, you are basically driving for about $1 per mile. Out of 15 rides，I get one $1 tip. That's right. And prime time is rather tricky and confusing. This 'job' does not worth your time and wear and tear of your vehicle.

Pros

Flexible hours. Great way to learn best routes through a city. Good for extra cash if you time the driving hours well

Cons

Full time driving does not make you much money and puts a lot of miles on the car. Their customer service is horrible. If you ever have an issue, it's best to just accept the bad, otherwise you will waste a bunch of time chatting with someone who will pretend to care but never solve a problem. You must accept all service animals, but can't ask if an animal is really a service animal, so you must accept all animals. Being allergic to animals will not allow you an exception from that rule.

Pros

None really. I thought Uber would be worse, it’s not.

Cons

No support. If someone rear ends of, Lyft is going to deactivate you. Lyft will deactivate you before a police report is written. When they deactivate you, they no longer respond. They try to fool you into thinking you can make good money and ya on your own time. LIE! They basically put you on a schedule and imply that if you want to get bonuses, you need to go out when THEY tell you to! They demonize Uber but you definitely make more money with Uber, less tips, but more money.

Pros

Flexible scheduling, easy scheduling interface, great support team. It's a great way to make your car holistically useful to the community at large while making good money. The smartphone integrated system is easy, thoughtfully designed and fast.

Cons

Almost all communication with support and management is via email and text message so if you're not comfortable with communicating almost exclusively via tech this may not be the job for you.

Pros

Premium rides are good and you can make money faster but there is not enough demand...

Cons

Car depression, gas prices and net pay can be very low after expenses.

Pros

You don't have a boss to report to and can take time off whenever.

Cons

Some times it's slow and you won't make as much money as you would on other days.

Pros

Flexible hours, good company vibe.

Cons

Too many changes in pay and it seems to be getting harder for drivers to make money. Income is not stable and prone to season changes.

Pros

Freedom to work on your schedule

Cons

Sometimes it's slow and money doesn't come in fast enough for it to be worth driving.

Pros

Easy flexible schedule. You meet a lot of interesting people that can provide an interesting work experience. It keeps you on your toes.

Cons

It comes and goes. Management does not care how many drivers there are. This is good for the passenger but it is not good if you want to make money.
