Pros

Paid direct deposit on Mon.-Tues. Knowledge of where great food is served within your neighborhood.

Cons

Note: 1/3 of all monies received will be taxed back to gov. through W1099! Beware, when gas prices spike, it's on you to still manage a profit. Dasher app problematic and sometimes will communicate error that customer service in the Philippines will quickly see you are the source of the problem. (Probationary period) Beware that you have to pick and choose what is (offered) to you when dash opportunities appear in app. Why, because if you're not calculating dollars / miles to deliver food, you'll learn the hard way that you're not making a profit.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
