Does Lyft offer dental insurance?
Pros
Decent hourly rates and salary.
Cons
Benefits package declines year over year. Still offers health, vision, dental, 401k, but reduced quality of transportation reimbursement and nixed cell phone reimbursement among other perks that existed earlier in the company's history in favor of investors after the IPO.
Advice to Management
Bugs and issues are found in the weeds. When someone who works closely with those who actually use the product flags issues and has to do it repeatedly on a weekly basis with little resolution over a long period of time, it makes them question the stated priorities of the company overall.

Does Lyft offer life insurance?
Pros
This job is fun and offers people the opportunity to meet new people and be in different locations every day. Great for an artistic personality.
Cons
The downside is the pay: extremely low amount of money for an excessive amount of driving. I worked 12 hours per day, 6 days per week and I could barely afford food. Living in LA, my rent was $1300 for a small shared unit. I fought every month to pay rent and I only ate 2 meals per day to cut food costs. Also, the job can be extremely dangerous: dangerous riders and the obvious danger of driving, which the later is no fault of Lyft's. If you get into an accident, your life could be turned upside down because there are no health benefits, no unemployment, etc. It's so bad that I will never order a Lyft or Uber for myself in the future as a rider.
Advice to Management
Remember that drivers are also future riders. If you mistreat your drivers, in essence, you're really mistreating your customers. Food for thought.
