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

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.
