Pros

Anyone who works at Turo will tell you that the best part of working there is the people. It's true. I met wonderful people at Turo and befriended many of them. Almost every person I worked with at Turo was a kind, empathetic, and hardworking team player.

Cons

Turo somehow manages to hire so many of these kind, selfless people, and then takes advantage of them. The company underpays and overworks. Sadly, so many employees are conflict avoidant and of the mentality that "we just have to work harder" that few people question the unrealistic expectations. Another con is the general chaos and disarray that categorizes life at Turo. Many people justify it by saying "it's a startup" but having worked at multiple other companies, in my opinion Turo's chaos is not normal. The company is poorly organized and decisions are made impulsively. This is one of the many reasons it is difficult to advance in your career. The only reason I rate Turo 3 stars is because of the people, and because I do feel that Turo "means well." The company was not always this way. They can do better.
