Pros

There is no way around it, you have to put in hours to make decent money. Don't forget about gas expense, and general car maintenance. I have been driving in Austin for about 3 years and currently I am averaging about $25 an hour (On-app logged hours). I do believe that if you just need some extra cash here and there it's a great side gig.

Cons

Long hours if you go full time. Best times to drive are when most people don't want too. Late night, early morning, rush hour. You gotta drive when all the cool things are happening.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
