First day
Driver/Delivery (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 12 September 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI just started with door dash and sitting. Not getting any orders . But I’m wondering if you can actually make any money. For me so far it’s a disappointment

Flexible work life balance
Dasher (Current Employee) - Oromocto, NB - 11 September 2023
One of the advantages of working for DoorDash is the flexibility it provides. Dashers, as the delivery drivers are called, have the freedom to choose when and where they want to work. This can be appealing for those who prefer a flexible work-life balance or have other commitments.

Dont waste your time
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 5 September 2023
tired out doordash at the start of this summer in kelowna (EAST Kelowna) as doordash sees it wasn't too bad a first was making anywhere from 80 to 200 a night/day, but the past few months its been so hard to get even 1 order it is just not worth the time anymore you will sit waiting for an order for a whole 3 hour shift and if your lucky you got maybe 1 or 2 orders in that time if your lucky i have good ratings 85% acceptance rate, but nothing would be good in a bigger city but not Kelowna they have let way to many dashers in around the Kelowna area
Pros
nothing
Cons
everything

Horaire
Dasher à Temps Partiel (Current Employee) - Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC - 31 August 2023
Ce qui est difficile chez Doordash c'est d'obtenir une horaire stable car les heures partent rapidement cependant si vous avez 200 commandes totale de fait 100 commande par mois de fait ainsi que une bonne note de la part des clients vous allez devenir top dasher et vous pouvez dasher quand vous voulez donc c'est vraiment niceé De plus vous êtes payer au semaine
Pros
Rabais

Stressful traffic, you are timed for the deliveries and during rush hour you are almost always late which effects tips
Delivery Person (Current Employee) - Kingston, ON - 30 August 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?A very LITTLE amount of extra cash What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The market is saturated with drivers so it’s hard to even get any shifts. The tips are terrible most of the time and there is so much wear and tear and gas in your vehicle it’s not like you even make much money. Most of what you make goes back into your gas tank What is the work environment and culture like at the company?When you first sign up they give you tons of orders and priority shift picking. After it’s literally impossible to book a slot to do any deliveries. With the new shop and pay it’s even more time consuming to do all the shopping and delivery and little to NO tips in this market anywayWhat is a typical day like for you at the company?Sit and wait for orders, get an offer accept, drive around forever to find parking walk blocks to the place to get the order and drive to drop at customers location. Start all over again.

Kinda okay
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 29 August 2023
If you have a car which is good on mileage then you might make something. Mostly it depends on tips. If you don't get any tip whole day then you might make something but can't do this for living. But it's a good side hustle.

Easy, but saturated market with unstable hours
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Burlington, ON - 24 August 2023
As title says. There are a lot of drivers, meaning some areas it can be difficult to get orders at certain times. This can lead to earning less than minimum wage.

Stressful and severely underpaid
Driver (Former Employee) - Whistler, BC - 21 August 2023
Pay is either at minimum wage or below, and that is before you take off gas, commercial insurance for your vehicle, wear and tear and repairs, and you are risking your safety each time you drive.
Pros
Flexible schedule
Cons
Pay, stress, rude customers

Flexibility
Independent Contractor (Current Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 10 August 2023
Makes starting and stopping shifts really easy when I have to drop off and pick up my kids from daycare. I like doing the grocery shopping orders as they tell you which isle the items are in and the pay is usually higher than picking up food from restaurants.

Good flexible job with below average pay
Good flexible job with below average pay. This type of job is a whole lot more better when you have another source of income. Do not do this full time. You won’t make much money.

Just for a side job not for full time
Driver/Delivery (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 27 June 2023
You will lost your soul if you decide to work full time. When you happy they will give you terrible offer. They always give you groceries order which lead to an apartment and you must bring them to a customer for sure.

Not earn enough.
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Kelowna, BC & Winnipeg, MB - 27 June 2023
You drive more and get oaid less for most of the deliveries. They need more drivers but don’t activate ID for people that applied. Signed up to deliver and get ghe 60 day bonus. Now they say, currently we don’t need drivers in your area.

Ok for a side gig
Driver/Delivery (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 23 June 2023
Your salary mostly depends on tips. The base pay wont even cover gas. There are days when you get no orders and just have to sit around for hours.

Keeps you busy
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 17 June 2023
You drive around delivering food. How hard can that be. I have no issues with the app and I like driving. I also decide how long I want to work. The hardest part might be once in a while trying to find the right address to deliver if no house/unit numbers are visible.

It was better last before
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 15 June 2023
I started in 2021 while I started my study in Canada. It takes time to become a top dasher and work regularly. The income was good before, but now they decreased the payments for the drivers comparing before and The insurance for delivery drivers is crazy high and they won't provide T4 for tax so you have to do it all by your own. Overall, I would not recommend it.
