Pros

* full of hard problems to solve * incredibly dedicated and intelligent coworkers * ability to step up and make it what you will * work hard / play hard (truly "take what you need" vacation) * proving business model can work and leading growth into a huge industry

Cons

* growing so fast, hard to keep up with change * some positions / situations very much learn as you go * not a little startup, not an established company, so uncertainty and change are constant (a con if that doesn't work for you, pro if so)

Pros

You choose when and how long you work, If you get the Instacart Shopper Card they promote, your earnings are deposited within minutes.

Cons

Before the Iran war, I was making about $10/hour - not that great. Since gas has increased in price, I'm very careful about the jobs I accept so I don't spend $5 or more on gas for a batch.
