Pros
Flexible schedule, can make okay money at times without having to be dressed up.
Cons
Abysmal algorithm takes good tippers and lumps them with $0 tippers. Instacart lies to customers and says tipping isn't necessary, then pays us absolutely sub federal minimum wage salary on orders. Like $6 for an order that would take 75 minutes to complete, including wear and tear on your car. Support is necessary for so many things. If you find 3 bananas and they happen to be too big (without a prompt for weight), you might get declined at checkout. Then it takes 5 minutes to click through the app to reach support. 10-12 minutes to remedy. Then get back in line and make no extra $ for your lost time. Then the customer gives you a 4 star review, which lowers you to a 4.96 that IC considers STANDARD. It's just bad work for a company that cares about shareholder value, not you. Get out asap. Only do this if you are stuck. Only really pencils in major metro areas.
