Pros

There is basically no pros to working here. If you have a clean background check you automatically get the job.

Cons

Working less than minimum wage, driving long distances away from home, poor tips, poor help support, management looks for excuses to lower wages, spending a ton of money on gas. Penalties for not accepting low dollar amount 10+ mile deliveries. Doesn't guarantee at least 10 an hour like they say on their website. You will make way more money working anywhere else, Walmart or McDonald's are much better employment opportunities.

Pros

If you are considering working with this platform, be aware that the management model is built on deliberate ambiguity. The app and software are designed to keep you in a constant state of uncertainty regarding your performance metrics. There is no transparency regarding how jobs are assigned or how your work is actually evaluated. This appears to be a calculated strategy to keep workers chasing 'better status' without ever providing a clear path to achieve it. You will never know if you are truly meeting expectations because the system is intentionally opaque. Approach with caution if you value transparency and clear communication.

Cons

The supposed 'flexibility' of this role is actually a double-edged sword. While the platform advertises freedom, it functions as a lack of structure and support. Because the performance metrics are intentionally opaque, the 'independence' of the job feels more like isolation. You are left guessing if your efforts are actually valued or just another input in an algorithm that doesn't prioritize worker success.
