    I have been working at Uber full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    Missteps under the direction of Travis have lit an enormous fire under the current CEO, Dara, to reshape internal culture and behaviors. I have the autonomy to do my job and make decisions, which is empowering. Our reputation as a brand is elevating, which is great when speaking with customers. Unlimited vacation. Tons of employee perks.

    Cons

    Post IPO expectations to produce margin and growth ASAP - high expectations.

    I have been working at Uber for less than a year

    Pros

    You get to work your own hours without any issue. Take breaks or even work and go to school or work another job as well.

    Cons

    Lots of competition working in Chicago, many drivers not only within Uber... App lags many times especially at the O'hare airport. Picking up/dropping off in downtown Chicago or big streets is very tricky and can lean in getting a ticket.... you dont get to choose where not to go like say east chicago, that's a very far drive from downtown especially in rush hour... and if you decline it hurts your ratings..
