Pros
Fun to meet people and show them your city. Great to learn the ins-and-outs of your area.
Cons
Paycuts and a glitchy app make this job much more trouble than it's worth. I made less than minimum wage, even when driving smart and working hard. Regular pay cuts (and rising Uber fees) over the last year have made this basically unprofitable as a full-time job. Uber now takes 1/4 of every fair you work. Also, if you don't work the app exactly right, you will lose hours of revenue simply due to the way the Uber Partner app is set up. Rather than training drivers how to work the right way, the app corals you into driving just the way Uber wants you to. For example, if you decide to take more than 20 minutes off, your seniority as far as how often you are able to get rides plummets, to the point where you're pretty much done for the day. On top of these issues, the Partner App is glitchy, and tend to send you to the wrong address. Riders are unaware what driver ratings do, so over time 4 star reviews add up and disqualify you from Uber promotions that allow you to make minimum wage or more. And recently Uber has allowed their drivers to accept tips, without announcing this to anyone. Leaving it up to drivers to tell their fares they can tip, which some people see as tacky, sometimes resulting in 4 star reviews. As things are going now, Uber drivers seem to be low on Uber's list of priorities.

Pros
Earnings are up to you, if you want to take home some good money you can do it in one day.
Cons
The pay is less than expected on some occasions and some establishments have long wait times

Pros
You determine your own schedule!
Cons
Low pay. Paid less than minimum wage. Maybe 20% of customers pay a tip. Routed to resturaunts that are 17-20 minutes from you location and are not compensated and the pay for the trip is likely under 4 bucks! The UBER GPS SYSTEM SUCKS, it’s inaccurate a lot of the time AND routes you the longest way possible!
