Pros

Perks are good. That's it

Cons

Where to begin... First and foremost, I would hope anyone in HR would read this: I make this very loud and clear when people say this place is toxic, it is TOXIC. Management doesn't intervene into coworker quarrels unless someone from HR brings up a complain from an employee and then that's where they intervene. There is also issues with management that support the kind of people who do barely the bare minimum and give flack for those who go the extra mile to prove themselves as actual employees that want to work to do better. I've had issues amongst colleagues that plot and snitch behind their fellow colleagues to bring them down just because those people don't want to do better themselves. Lyft promotes the idea of "everyone is a family", "unity", "solidarity", and other buzzwords to reel in candidates to work for them. What they really do is not what they say they do. There is no one to oversee how employees are treating other employees like enemies and it makes it hard for those who want to change the tide in the workplace, feel threatened, anxious, and demoralized. Nepotism, lack of integrity, maturity, and yet they make us take all those dumb video trainings to not condone that.

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.
