Pros

Great for side money. Very independent, which I love because I enjoy driving around and listening to music. Great money-if you can get the hours. Used to be a lot easier getting shifts, and I am hopeful that they will figure out a system that works better for us.

Cons

I used to be able to work full time and make enough money to pay all my bills. Now I can hardly even get 10-15 hours a week, To get shifts, you have to constantly have to refresh the screen on your phone using both hands. They only drop 2 hour blocks at a time-up to 4 hour blocks. The shifts drop in a split second before they are taken, so its a constant battle trying to grab it. I have refreshed my screen for 10 hours and only was able to work 4 hours. So my whole day was given to refreshing the screen, instead I could have been running errands or having a social life for once. Draining!!

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
