Pros

Good pay Exciting tech company High growth

Cons

- Poor management who are self seeking rather than people centric - Politics - Lack of recognition and internal career opportunities and transparencies around who gets promoted - Very poor work life balance due to fast paced, 1 person doing 3 people’s jobs and because you manage it the expectation is you keep doing it, rather than expanding head count - Very poorly structured and lack of process

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.
