Pros

- Very motivated colleagues - Feels like you're doing something important

Cons

- Zero work life balance - A lot of internal politics - What you're doing is not really all that important - Ultimately it's just a taxi company

Pros

Great coworkers in an overall low pressure, laid back atmosphere. Being a part of a company that has become such a big part of current pop culture was an interesting and exciting experience -- high "glitz and glam" factor in comparison to most jobs. It's not retail.

Cons

Communication was minimal from the top and continued to weaken as messages passed down from upper levels to lower levels of employee clearance. As a young organization whose goal has been to redefine a longstanding industry (which it has successfully done!) the company still has a lot to learn in terms of positive vs. negative "corporate attitude" and general organizational human resource management -- many policies and the enforcement behind them was very wish-washy within our market, and the lines became even more blurred when communicating with other city teams to seek advice or information. Little to no defined path for growth makes for one of two types of employee: apathetic reps with no real passion for the job but to pass time and make an easy dollar or disappointed employees who eagerly want to grow but feel aimless and under appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. You've pointed to a few things that we're working hard on -- the flow of communications and career development on the operations side of the house. I see that you've moved onto another opportunity. I wanted to thank you anyway for providing such detailed feedback on your experience.
