Pros
Make your own hours. Meet new and interesting people. See different parts of your town. Chance to network with industry professionals you wouldn't normally have access to. Payment options are fast. Personality and professionalism go a long way for tips. Barely a bar to entry for employment as long as you have a history of safe driving, access to a inspection passing vehicle and legal driver's license.
Kontras
Ride offers are insultingly low pay. Cost of maintenance is expensive. Hertz rental program is unorganized, lack of availability and expensive. Long hours yield less and less pay each year. Depreciation of your own vehicle. This job puts you at constant risk from drunk drivers, texting and driving, road debris, potholes, industrial accidents, dangerous neighborhoods and vehicle theft/armed robbery for very little pay. Company will deactivate you even with dash cam footage in most cases. Work/life balance at the full-time level manipulated by impossible bonus goals.
