Pros

Free snacks and lunch that's honestly it.

Cons

I was brought on as a Dash Team Builder with the pay of $18/hr. One month later I was unofficially promoted to work on the Strategy & Operations team and moved to their Manhattan office. My tasks became much more advanced and my workload drastically increased. I was also working a lot more, 30 hours per week as a DTB before and now 60-70 hours per week on the S&O team. There was a 90-day probationary period where if they want to keep you as an employee after your first 90-days then you're an official (insert_title_here). But when I was unofficially promoted, my 90 days weren't over yet. I was doing more advanced work but still only getting my old pay rate and old title. Once my 90-days were over, I tried talking to my boss about getting better pay and a new title since I was technically but unofficially on the S&O team. I reached out to him about a dozen times and he ignored the subject. He even started canceling our weekly one-on-one meetings just to avoid speaking with me about it. Then, after months of my boss telling me that I was doing a good job, he fires me because I was laughing at a video I was listening to while doing my work. I can't make this up. I found out months later that my boss quit. I wonder why.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
