Pros

I learned so many invaluable skills regarding how to type emails and handle stressful situations. I also learned about how social media works.

Cons

My job entitled more than the online description when I applied. Management never includes associates so you end up being the last to know about major changes. My manager was racist and Lyft never did anything to reprimand them or hold them accountable. I found out they didn’t want me on the team from the start and would talk about me to other employees and accuse me of things without any cause. They never encouraged my growth as an associate and always found ways to tell me I wasn’t doing enough. Even pulling bad numbers saying I took too much sick time when I only took 15 hours the entire 1.5 years I was there. I also only got one raise the entire time I was there and it was a few cents.

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

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.
