Pros

If you read the reviews, some of them seem fake because it’s 5 stars and people barely wrote anything. Seems like the company is trying to hide all the negative reviews.

Cons

HSD is one of the worst companies I’ve ever worked for. Completely disorganized with management changing the rules/compensation constantly. We sign up drivers without full background checks because we’re expanding into markets too quickly and that’s scary because we’re dealing with underserved kids. The team is overworked and asked to do things that aren’t a part of the job. They pay minimum wage but ask for you to commit your life to the job. We have to do IRL events with the assumption that we don’t have other plans outside of our work. Why doesn’t execs do it? The leadership is atrocious! Especially the sales leader. He talks down to people and makes fun of people. He’s building a culture on his team that you have to be a man and white. That’s where all the racist reviews and comments are coming from. You have to be and act a certain way to be acknowledged in the company. If you’re any other race besides white, there is no mobility. They’ve tried to hire minorities but every single one of them has gotten fired! There is a pattern there. How can a company that promotes equality for riders be anything but? It’s sad and pathetic.

Pros

the team makes you feel very comfortable, its not micromanaged, easy training, healthy manager- employee relationship

Cons

may not see the employee as a person, but more of a data set to be compared to others even at different levels of knowledge

Pros

Fully remote, a lot of flexibility when needed. The mission is genuine and is having a positive impact on communities

Cons

No 401k matching, no bonuses. Leadership tried to come off as transparent, but their actions and words do not line up. Leadership and management will say there is growth opportunities to develop the careers of employees, but there is very limited true opportunities. Unless you are running the right elbows, you risk being stuck. Flash carries more weight than substance, leaving employees feeling undervalued. Even when you have PTO, you are sometimes expected to still have to work.
