Pros

Lunch credits Private health insurance

Cons

If you value your mental health, do no work for this company. Management is self-serving and will sabotage your career growth to protect themselves. HR won't care either, and will sweep things under the rug. If you flag poor behaviour from management, you'll likely get pushed out to prevent escalations. Employee feedback is ignored - you'll be forced to complete workplace surveys as a tick box activity. You'll be expected to perform the workload of 1.5-2 employees, and your workload will continue to increase without a path to promotion (business is incredibly lean). You are at the mercy of the US business - lack of budget means it's impossible to achieve anything meaningful. Attrition rates are appallingly high (and probably reflective of how people feel about working here) - most new joiners don't stay for longer than 1-2 years. Constant churn leads to knowledge and experience gaps and therefore no stability within and between teams.

Pros

No set schedule / work when you want to / instant pay

Cons

The pay has consistently gotten worse / app failure cancellations and company card declines used to get half pay now they give nothing or $2 when it say’s guaranteed whatever the offer pay accepted may be. Offers are so low lately that if you accept the lowballs you loose money and if not they lower your ratings. No way to prevent lowball offers and restaurants lately are so disorganized and slow that you have to unassign many offers due to such poor service in these fast food and other restaurants hurting driver ratings and or loosing time and money. Disputing ratings: when customers lie so they can get their items free is pointless to dispute with the support because the ratings stay same regardless
