Pros
You can make up your own schedule so it’s very flexible around my college schedule. Right now, during the pandemic, the opportunity to make money is great-that is- if you get good customer tips. But we are putting our lives in danger being out in public at this time and some customers can be quite stingy as well as demanding.. but that’s only here and there- most people are appreciative and tip well
Cons
A lot of wear and tear in your vehicle, some customers can constantly message you and drain the battery on your phone and make it so you take forever on one batch and so you earn much less money for your time and can’t get as many orders done in a day, also- and I just figured this out- Instacart WILL punish you and end your days early or not give you any batches at all( really sucks when you’ve been risking your life during the pandemic to do this work!!:( and if you need to replace/refund items that aren’t in stock After trying your very best to get the customers the items they have requested- Instacart docks your pay for this!! So after all of your hard work- you get punished for this as well.. it can be a real bummer
