Pros

Great coworkers: Incredibly smart but also very humble & collaborative Interesting business: Really complex business where you work on interesting problems; truly are never bored! High Ownership: In my experience, most roles have a lot of ownership over business problems, meaning there's potential for really high impact

Cons

The downside of lots of ownership & hard problems is that work-life balance can struggle. Definitely not a cultural norm that is expected, but something that comes naturally at times in some projects

Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to work when I need to. It can be useful as side income, especially if you need something that fits around school, job searching, or other responsibilities.

Cons

Pay can be inconsistent, and it often depends heavily on order availability, tips, distance, and customer demand. Some days are worth it, while other days do not feel worth the time, gas, or wear on the car.
