Pros

They have great cultural values and on the surface everything looks awesome. Food is good.

Cons

The infrastructure at Lyft was not built on solid foundation and has since grown into an extremely broken system. Because of this everyone is out for themselves. HR is overworked and does not know how to handle employee concerns or complaints. Inclusiveness is a myth that is perpetuated throughout the company. Lots of overworked people are at the company trying to not get backstabbed. Instead of fixing broken systems Lyft hires people from Google to again perpetuate the myth that Lyft is as great as Google and therefore can be trusted. They can't. Would not be shocked if Google acquired Lyft.

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.
