Pros

The working environment is awesome - the people you work with and around are super-friendly and very bright. It challenges you to improve while also allowing you to have some fun while doing it.

Cons

This is a start-up still so it is fast paced and is busy. Make sure you are ready to put in some long hours in the beginning and that you can handle change. Also, the company needs to show more commitment to both its full-time employees as well as part-time and contractors (shoppers).

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.
