DoorDash Reviews

Cons

Customers sometimes unfriendly Things could happen that are out of your control but still get you in trouble Slow in smaller cities

Cons

Sometimes u have long leriods just sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting on an order to pop up. Another is u go 5 or more miles to a so called Hotspot that's reading busy on Dasher map. An then when u get to the spot it's not hot anymore. An then u have to fuel up constantly becuz it sometimes takes u very far places an stuff. An lastly u could be out dashing all day foe bout 10 to 12 hours. An depending on where the locations are if they are far or not. The base pay an tips of the trip or dash per offers. U can easily get deterred away from dashing. If u been out all night an day dashing an for 12 hours of work ur bring home pay is $25 to $30 for the day. Then ur either not trying hard enuff to get the best or drive to the best Hotspots an take the best offers. Don't take every delivery the comes on your screen. Be contentious an mindful of your time, the mileage an also fuel costs an how long doordash allots the time it takes to pick up an deliver within the allot time doing it effectively, efficiently, safely an politely an quickly.

Cons

Variable Earnings: DoorDash earnings can be inconsistent and highly dependent on factors such as location, time of day, and market demand. Some days or hours may be more profitable than others. Expenses: Dashers are responsible for their own expenses, including gas, maintenance, and wear and tear on their vehicles. These costs can significantly impact overall earnings. Limited Benefits: Gig workers for DoorDash do not typically receive traditional employment benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, or paid time off. Wear and Tear on Vehicle: The constant use of your vehicle for deliveries can lead to increased maintenance costs and depreciation. This is a consideration, especially for those who rely on their cars for personal use. No Job Security: Gig workers are not employees, and DoorDash can change its policies or terminate Dashers' access to the platform without the job security that traditional employment provides. Customer Service Issues: Dashers may encounter challenges related to customer service, such as dealing with delivery issues, incorrect orders, or difficult customers.

Cons

Work life balance is a mess, expect long hours and hectic weekends depending on how good a manager you have. There is always an option to set your boundaries but tbh more you set boundaries to your wlb the less your growth prospects are going to be.

Cons

See above for the real answers that folks are probably scared to say.

Cons

Too many Dashers can oversaturate an area and make it so there are less dashes per day per driver

Cons

High Commission Fees: DoorDash charges restaurants commission fees for each order, which can significantly eat into profits. Lack of Control Over Delivery Experience: Restaurants have limited control over the delivery process and customer experience once the food leaves their premises. Dependency Risk: Some businesses may become overly dependent on third-party delivery apps for their revenue.

Cons

Planning ahead you schedule If you want to work that day but didn't schedule yourself you probably won't work as much or make as much as you want to. The amount of mile put on the car isn't worth it.

Cons

Using your own vehicle. Pay isn't good Not as many routes sometimes you'll sit for a while

Cons

They haze you first, low and non tipping orders, the orders the other dashers decline, they allow any ratings from customers even bogus ones and the quality of jobs you can be assigned depends on that. DoorDash will not remove a bad rating even if it’s bogus because nothing went wrong in the delivery. You get punished for basically just a customer being mean. DoorDash “support” isn’t supportive, the instructions said if you feel you have an unfair rating to contact them so I did. I waited 15 mins to get a weird reply finally and then the support team member told me she was ending the chat because I wasn’t replying even though it had only been a minute since I received her response and it wasn’t helpful nor was it a question. She then scolded me for asking about the review even though it says to contact them. There should be quality feedback on decisions that affect pay.
