"Make your own hours, the pay could be better"
StarStarStarStarStar- Work/Life Balance

- Comp & Benefits
RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Uber as a contractor (Less than a year)
Pros
Making your own hours, direct deposit is available, decent customer service, and the navigation app is really good. There are also safety measures put in place when you are out on runs.
Cons
The pay isn't that great and most customers don't tip. You are putting miles and wear and tear on your car and paying for gas for very minimal pay (I worked about 15 hours in a weekend and made about 160.00 total). Customer service doesn't seem very informed, so maybe going and speaking to someone at a brick and mortar Uber shop would be your best bet, but call ahead, they will sometimes close the entire shop due to illness, etc.
Advice to Management
Look into adding gratuity, or encourage people to tip a bit more. I understand that you are getting paid regardless, but we are the ones out there working on our weekends or trying to support families. What we are providing is a service, so at the very least, customers should be encouraged, if not required to tip the driver something.

"Uber Eats Driver"
StarStarStarStarStar- Work/Life Balance
- Comp & Benefits

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Uber as a contractor
Pros
- Work when you want (for the most part)
- Work where you want
- Hourly average is not bad. My area, (Las Vegas) provides times where they pay more (1.2 - 1.6X more, called Boosts), I only work during those times.
I've been delivering for about a month now, about 80 deliveries. I'm making on average $13 per hour including tips working only during Boost times.
- Having he Boost times
- No one to manage you and tell you what to do, be your own boss
- Tips (sometimes) from customers really help.
- Can get paid instantly
- Easy to get startedCons
- Have to be careful and not accept deliveries that are too far away. As a rule, I don't accept deliveries that are 10 or minutes away from where I am. I am not paid anything for the 10 minute+ drive to get to the pick-up location, so it tends not to be worth it. You have to be smart about it, and stay stationed in an area with a lot of restaurants to your pick-up drive is not far.
- 50-75% of each delivery the restaurant does not have food ready when I arrive and I have to wait. You are not paid for the time you are waiting, so this becomes a real bummer. Tonight, after doing this for a month, I had my FIRST restaurant apologize for my having to wait and offered me a free drink. Most times it is not their fault as I just get there so quick since I am near, but for some, they are just inefficient.
- Tips make all the difference. For me, it takes my hourly amount from $10 per hour, to $14 per hour. That is enough to make me double-think if I want to continue doing this.
- About 90% of the customers who tell me TO MY FACE they will tip me on the app, NEVER actually do.
After doing some research on the internet it sounds like people are saying that it is not expected or needed to tip your Uber Eats drivers.Advice to Management
- Keep up the Boost promotions. This make it worthwhile, otherwise I'm not making enough money.
- Encourage resturants who make drivers wait (because of their inefficiencies), to somehow make it up to the drivers by giving them coupons for free meals, freebies, something to drink while they are waiting, coupons for future visits. This is a super frustrating part of the job, especially when it is long and the restuarant acts like they don't care.
- TIPS! Anything you can do to encourage this, and make it known that it is the norm. Especially to any customers who already said they will leave a tip and never do. Maybe offer them some type of rewards for leaving a tip, like every $1 in tip is worth a point and every X points gets them a free delivery. Something like that.
The tips also help make the job worthwile and can make a difference between continuing and quiting.Uber 2018-03-11 23:37 PDT
