Pros

You get to work independently, flexible hours which you make your own schedule, and earn satisfaction money. The best part is getting a direct deposit every Wednesday. You get to meet nice customers and feel good the fact that your helping someone who's car broke down or just for out the hospital with their groceries.

Cons

Your in competition with other shoppers in your areas which the app time you. Hourly guaranteed is "Not" available to certain areas anymore. Last, you get a reliability if you dont constantly use the app...meaning other shoppers get to choose earlier time slot.

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!!!!
