Pros

-Super easy work. Everything is 100% done remotely from the interview to the trainings. If you have a background in customer service and are computer savvy you'll be fine. You'll only be answering emails. No phones! -Flexible schedules! I have the freedom to work whenever I please for the most part. Night owl? Take an evening shift. Prefer to get work over with? Opt for a 5am shift. Best of all everything is broken into 4-hour blocks...so I can work in the am AND the pm if I have another obligation in midday. This is an excellent job for a student, parent, or simply someone who does not like traditional 9-5 white collar work. -Awesome management. Truly some of the most encouraging, happy, and helpful people I've ever met. They don't micromanage at all which is a huge perk. -Concise and intimate training sessions. Learning remotely is difficult, but the Uber team makes it simple via live video chats. -Weekly paychecks! I know it sounds silly...but it really is a big perk haha. -Room for growth! Since the remote CSR program is still relatively new there is a lot of opportunity to go through new trainings, which ultimately makes you a more valuable company asset.

Cons

-At an hourly rate of $15 that is non-negotiable, funds can be a bit tight if this is your only source of income and live in an expensive state/city. -Since CSRs are contracted through a 3rd party employer, they take care of benefits, but they aren't great at all. -No paid vacation time or holiday pay. -Not the best position for someone that is not a self-starter

Pros

Company is growing incredibly quickly. Everyone is pumped about the business. The day-to-day is constant puzzle solving. You're surrounded by motivated people who love the company. Relatively flat structure. You see the impact of your work on a day-to-day basis. Everyone outside of Uber is excited about Uber. Since starting at Uber, all my old college friends want to get back in touch.

Cons

Holidays are work days - be prepared to work like crazy. Your significant other must really love you to stay with you with these hours. You must love Uber to work at Uber. Management is young and figuring itself out, but CEO is one of the great CEOs of the world. He loves the company and empowers employees. The structure is becoming slightly more hierarchical which is natural for a company growing at this pace.
