Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
