Fun to know people and exchanging thoughts and talks but the income not sufficient for living you can’t count on it as full time job you need another income if you have a family but still it’s nice experience

Ok in a bind, don't recommend if you have other work.

Full-Time Driver (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 11 May 2022

Good if you're in school with little expenses or something to do when you're bore as a side job. You can't making a living wage doing this when you consider vehicle expenses.

Pros

Freedom for Hours

Cons

Pay is very bad

They make it sound like it is a great deal, but it is not

Driver (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 9 February 2022

You can be the best driver, be very profesional and have the best customer service(even rated by customers) but you rarely will make more than 18-19 dollars an hour. They have their hot spots that promise better rates but even if you are around them, it is hard to get anyone with those rates. 95% of the people who use the service will not tip you.You will put a lot of mileage in your car and after expenses like gas, car wash, oil, etc you will be left with not a lot of money.People in uber office(green hub) will tell you it is great to drive for them, the truth is that they have so many drivers in queue that someone will start and get dissapointed and they will have 2 or 3 drivers in line to replace them.

Cons

Long hours and not well paid. Taxi drivers will make your life miserable

You are your own boss. Work when ever and how ever long

Driver (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 25 January 2022

I like it for flexibility and can be a great Side gig, wouldn’t recommend anyone for full time job. Driving weekdays can be boring driving through traffic and what not. Not a satisfactory job. I would work recommend work weekends for more money.

Pros

Very flexible

Cons

Can get boring, and you are putting lots of miles on your car

Terrible

Driver (Former Employee) - London, ON - 30 November 2021

No security at all could get robbed easily and gas is so expensive that it’s not worth it anymore. Hated doing Uber but had no choice after COVID. You make decent money but have to put a lot of hours in
