Pros

Getting money, sometimes Being alone

Cons

Getting shown one guaranteed offer and accepting it and being given less money. Broken app that forces you to do what they want. Working constantly and following all the rules to still be affected negatively. Having no recourse for the things they do to their drivers. Being told that your on time by support but marked late in the app(which effects your status and thusly your pay) Being paid less than 30 cents per mile for a 25mile trip Using your own car and insurance Paying for your own gas Being taxed like an independent contractor but making less than 10 dollars per hour before expenses while also having to work a schedule that they allow for offers that they show me while collecting fees from both me and the customer and then saying that they are not part of the process and are not liable for any negative experience as a result of any order taken from their app Having a record of all of this and not being able to do anything.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
