Pros

Good benefits Young energy. Cool looking office.

Cons

Salaries below market rate. Lack of career growth opportunities. Lack of Transparency. Middle Management does not exemplify the Executive credos or values. Heavy culture lacking in collaboration. Too many people want the credit for being the one with the new idea, as a result backstabbing and deceit run rampant through parts of the organization. Lots of disorganization throughout certain teams. This is still very much a disorganized startup, even if they portray themselves as a real company.

Pros

Discovering parts of Las Vegas I wouldn't normally visit. Meeting nice people from all over the Valley and the world.

Cons

With the price of gas right now, my pay for using a mid-sized vehicle averaged out to $8 per hour (before taxes), even after 3 "bonuses." This is less than the Nevada minimum wage of $12. Regardless of what the app tells you, Lyft takes about 2/3 of the earnings for each ride, charging both for the rental and extra fees they claim have to do with the cost of car maintenance. Not sure why maintenance and everyday wear wouldn't be handled by Hertz as a normal part of their fleet ownership, as it would with any other rental. Indeed, if you're doing the Express Driver program, you have to take the car for service after getting a voucher from Hertz. On a different note, the number of riders with no picture or fake names is really high in Las Vegas compared to other places where I've driven. This issue has become a safety concern.
