Pros

-Lunches if you work the day shift. -Relaxed atmosphere, dress code. -Monthly company events (if you’re not working). -Everyone is very friendly.

Cons

-The pay is low and there is no shift differential pay since the schedules come out monthly and are advertised as “rotating”. I started work at a different time every day, and ended at a different time, the scheduling process was extremely erratic and unorganized. -PTO doesn’t apply to the hourly employees. This is a little misleading during the hiring process, and is advertised as a perk that doesn’t exist. -This company highly advertises the cutting edge technology of the app and web based applications. The reality is that as an operations specialist, you’re going to spend 99% of your time on the phone. You’ll be calling trying (sometimes pleading) to get drivers to take jobs, you’ll be talking to and calling pissed off customers, taking orders via phone, etc. It’s basically a customer service/call center. If you think you’re going to be doing everything on the computer, this couldn’t be further from the truth. And you will be evaluated on your “phone metrics”, how many calls you answered, how fast, what was your available time, etc. -The evaluation system for employees is terrible. You can expect a manager to email you an excel document where you grade yourself on how you’re doing, and then receive a 5 or 10 minute conversation with your manager where they say a couple of pros/cons of what you’re doing. It feels very rehearsed, and not genuine. -Be prepared to call in to meetings or attend training no matter when you work, or what your days off are. -Be prepared to work all weekends, and consider yourself lucky if you have two days off back to back with no mandatory training or meetings you have to call in for.

Pros

- The company's transparency is excellent, frequent all hands meetings, regular slack updates with all the numbers of how things are going, access to execs if you ever needed anything. - Good benefits (not the best I ever had, but very respectable) - The people and company are very causal. Ive never had to worry about politics here which is great. - Good work life balance. Unlimited PTO has never been restrictive to me. Plenty of holidays. No insane deadlines for working late.

Cons

like everywhere, there has been layoffs in the last couple of years. Culture has shifted to be a bit quieter as a result.

Pros

Nick Bulcao is amazing. He really has a great vision. Amazing team in Operations who tries their best despite the ridiculous metrics they have to meet, many great friendships formed. Overtime is provided but if you’re one of the only ones that takes it, you will get taken advantage of and find yourself with a very unhealthy work/life balance.

Cons

Upper upper management in operations once above the “manager” level is awful. A few in particular. They push and push for more but don’t want to listen to feedback or their leadership team that works on the frontlines suggestions and advice. They don’t talk respectfully to the ones under them and then expect the team to break their backs. Constant changes of supervisors and managers and processes so don’t get used to anything.
