my experience as an independent contractor - Personal Shopper Instacart Employee Review

Flexible schedule and independent work environment with good earning potential during busy hours.

Pay can vary by day and vehicle expenses like gas and maintenance add up quickly.

When I was there the culture was pretty good and they were an all remote company. Fidji Simo as CEO was also a big improvement over the prior one.

High turnover. Many executives left (including Fidji). Stock price has flat-lined. Difficult business. Customer backlash over hidden and excessive fees.
