Pros

None, there are absolutely no pros when it comes to Shipt!

Cons

The shopper app is garbage! They have a rating system that is a set up. If a customer gives you a thumbs down for any reason at all, it severely affects her rating. A lot of times, customers will become angry if they store does not have an item and they ordered causing them to give you a thumbs down. Shipt expects you to keep a rating no lower than 4.98 stars. It’s extremely difficult once you dip below that rating it’s a wrap you will hardly receive any orders and when you do, they will not be worth your time. The customer service they provide for their shoppers exponentially and completely useless company is hands-down, is the l worst companies I have ever worked for. I received an email stating my Shopper account has been permanently deactivated. When I contacted them by phone, they had no information and repeatedly told me I must reply to the email if I want answers as to why. When I replied to the email, I received no response. Several messages, requesting the details as to why my account was permanently deactivated. I have yet to receive a response. A lot of my customers chose me as their preferred shopper, which let me know that I left the majority of my customers were more than satisfied with their orders when I shop for them. Shipt owes me an explanation as to why my Shopper account was permanently deactivated. This is completely unfair and unacceptable and I am sure there are many shoppers that feel the same way as me. I would advise anyone that is considering working for this company, save themselves from disappointment and look elsewhere. I’m going to be looking into any sort of legal action that I can take on my behalf against this company they are taking vantage of us, and and then throwing us in the trash, while they recruit new shoppers.

Pros

Flexibility—Could set my own schedule. It could also be fun, and sometimes quite rewarding when customers were nice and appreciative. I credit Shipt for introducing me to gig work, as it led me to other, better-paying gig jobs while keeping the schedule flexibility that I need.

Cons

Pay—it’s pretty much poverty-level considering how much work goes into shopping for customers. While I didn’t Shipt full-time, I DID put in at least 30 hours a week doing this shopping. For all of that, the most I made in any given year was $13,000! And I worked hard, got great customer reviews and consistently good tips. Occasionally, there would be newspaper articles about the random Shipt shopper who made $100,000/year! What such articles glossed over (this fact would be buried somewhere deep in the text) was that the shopper in question consistently worked some 80-100 hours per week. So if you broke down that fabulous six-figure pay by how much time the shopper was spending doing the work, it really doesn’t come out to all that much. The other pay issue worth mentioning is that in 2020, right when Covid was rampant, Shipt announced that they were “restructuring” the way they paid shoppers. What this translated to was that they were now paying us even less than they had previously done! That’s when I began to be soured on Shipt. I continued to do it for a while longer, but eventually went to other gigs that paid more.
