Pros

See earning estimate breakdown prior to accepting order.

Cons

Customers are able to add request to order while you’re shopping making trip more time consuming and support for employees is ridiculous during COVID-19 pandemic. The time it takes to shop while consistently trying accommodate order changes makes it no longer worth the money.

Pros

Daily Pay or weekly Flexible schedule

Cons

Customer service is terrible. No way to verify your income. The site is down and customer service will not help. You solve your situation. Also there is not a customer service or corporate phone number. To call when you have a serious situation!!!!
