Pros

Great perks and benefits- it's a dog friendly office, unlimited snacks in breakroom, free parking, great health insurance. That's about it.

I can only speak for my department since everything is so segregated, but when productivity is low, employees are treated like children and shamed for it. Managers do not communicate clearly with each other and therefore employees receive mixed messages all day long. I understand that a lot of change and adaptability must come with a startup, but the overall energy of the office every day is extreme tension. I

Pros

Discovering parts of Las Vegas I wouldn't normally visit. Meeting nice people from all over the Valley and the world.

Cons

With the price of gas right now, my pay for using a mid-sized vehicle averaged out to $8 per hour (before taxes), even after 3 "bonuses." This is less than the Nevada minimum wage of $12. Regardless of what the app tells you, Lyft takes about 2/3 of the earnings for each ride, charging both for the rental and extra fees they claim have to do with the cost of car maintenance. Not sure why maintenance and everyday wear wouldn't be handled by Hertz as a normal part of their fleet ownership, as it would with any other rental. Indeed, if you're doing the Express Driver program, you have to take the car for service after getting a voucher from Hertz. On a different note, the number of riders with no picture or fake names is really high in Las Vegas compared to other places where I've driven. This issue has become a safety concern.
