Pros

$17.50 per hour, nice benefits, looks good on your resume, and you learn how to deal with unreasonable people/unreasonable situations.

Cons

management does not have valid leadership experience, they steal your ideas with creative exercises one must complete to get a promotion or make lateral moves and then you don't even get the job, incompetent people are promoted over people that are consistent high achievers with proven leadership ability, they are understaffed on various teams and place unreasonable expectations on said team members, they are reactive instead of proactive, and they ignore complaints about problematic employees and members of leadership.

Pros

They have great health benefits, and the pay scale just changed and is reasonable, but not livable for anyone with responsibilities. Dress is causal, and they cater lunch daily. There is a stocked kitchen that is impressive, and free for employees. We also get Uber credits monthly which are used to pay for UberEats orders. The location is central, with great views of downtown. Leadership is lax, and not much is taken seriously. There are nearly 50 shifts to choose from, though most are at odd hours, during days, evening, nights and all holidays. Its open 24 hours. They are awesome with time off, and allow you to go negative. They also offer parent time which is for school related events like parent teacher or the dreaded recorder concert. They are involved in a lot of community events and things happening around town.

Cons

Point system is strict, and takes a year to fall off. Although you can move departments, there really isn't an option to move up. They drill it in that you can move up, and its easy, to move up; That's not true. No room at desks. We sit at long tables with no dividers or space. It can sometimes be loud and hard to make important calls. Its trendy, and a lot like high school. Rumors, jocks and cheerleaders. A lot of fraternization, and favoritism by management. Others can be harsh and judge your work.. Most management have no idea what they are doing and spend a lot of time chatting, or texting on their phone. If there is an issue, good luck. There are a lot of things that take place that would NEVER happen at another employer. Very young, and mostly inappropriate. There are a lot of changes currently happening and big adjustments. I'm hopeful that the immaturity will be addressed and the office can become more professional.

Thanks for sending in this candid review and feedback. While it's great to see you enjoy things like the benefits and flexibility in shifts, there are other things you call out which are alarming. It'd be great to connect confidentially and offline and discuss some of your points. Please reach out and we can set up a time to talk - pierce@uber.com. Thanks!
