Pros

-Fast-paced, inclusive, and collaborative culture with so much room for learning and growth in a quickly changing industry -Many avenues for future opportunities -An environment that makes it easy to feel connected to, and a part of, the overall company goals and successes. Actually feel good and excited about coming in to work. -Pay is competitive and benefits are pretty awesome

Cons

-With how fast things are moving and changing, sometimes there can be a feeling of work going in several different directions at the same time, but really, that's pretty much the nature of startups in the first place. -Work/Life balance is good for the most part, but there can be periods where that's not the case. But again, kind of comes with the fast-paced nature of startups.

Pros

Discovering parts of Las Vegas I wouldn't normally visit. Meeting nice people from all over the Valley and the world.

Cons

With the price of gas right now, my pay for using a mid-sized vehicle averaged out to $8 per hour (before taxes), even after 3 "bonuses." This is less than the Nevada minimum wage of $12. Regardless of what the app tells you, Lyft takes about 2/3 of the earnings for each ride, charging both for the rental and extra fees they claim have to do with the cost of car maintenance. Not sure why maintenance and everyday wear wouldn't be handled by Hertz as a normal part of their fleet ownership, as it would with any other rental. Indeed, if you're doing the Express Driver program, you have to take the car for service after getting a voucher from Hertz. On a different note, the number of riders with no picture or fake names is really high in Las Vegas compared to other places where I've driven. This issue has become a safety concern.
