Its a gig job
Courier/Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - San Antonio, TX - February 24, 2021
You are your own boss. Just like any gig job, everything is up to you. You work when you want. They do have guaranteed paid hours if you're fast enough to grab one when the weekly schedule comes out, but that's almost impossible in many zones. Either way, the guaranteed hourly pay is a joke, like $9, and you can usually make more than that anyway. It's good for extra money, but certainly nothing to even base a part-time job on. You only get $2 base pay per run, and the minimum tip is only $2, regardless of how far out you may have to drive. Some days are super busy with no time between runs, and other days you can go an hour or more without a call.
Pros
Total Freedom
Cons
Personal shopping orders, low base and tip minimum, vehicle wear

A job nothing more nothing less
Runner (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - January 22, 2021
Favor is a job and literally only that. I clock in and I clock out on my own accord. It's entirely contractor work with bells and whistles. I appreciate that they're trying to give the divers more benefits and such, but I never felt I was fully compensated for my labor while being a Favor Runner.
Pros
Set your own schedule, flexibility
Cons
No real stability, very few benefits

Terrible Pay for a delivery job
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Midland, TX - January 21, 2021
In the Midland / Odessa area, Favor is too saturated to make good money. The pay is awful! After you calculate time and gas, you have lost money or just broken even. It is not worth the wear on your car. Most deliveries are in out of the way places, which consumes your time for very little tip. There are other like companies that have a much better base pay and tipping.
Pros
Work when you want
Cons
Too few jobs, very low pay

Little money to be made.
Self Employed (Current Employee) - El Paso, TX - December 22, 2020
There are not enough guarantee hours for everyone. Special people get the schedule first and take all of the guarantee paid hours. No compensation for cancelled orders during run. No benefits.

Bad
Favor Runner (Current Employee) - Austin, TX - December 16, 2020
Great idea that is totally mismanaged. No communication or understanding of numerous job details. Easy to be a driver but don't expect anything from anyone.

A very expensive hobby
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - December 7, 2020
Simply put this job costs far more then what it makes, contrary to the advertisement. Actual pay is $2 a delivery the rest is tips, but you pay for the gas for the vehicle. Each delivery takes about 20 to 30 minutes here, and if you try and take to many at a time the customers get upset because of the extended wait time. Most deliveries are food and everyone want it fresh and hot.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
bad pay

Too many recruits cut pay for long time runners
Runner-selfemployed (Former Employee) - Pflugerville, TX - November 12, 2020
Was great when I first started but now the market is over saturated with drivers making it very difficult to make more than $8-10 an hour BEFORE expenses. The company keeps recruiting after receiving lots of feedback from long term runners. Bummed it went down hill and they have zero care for runners.
Pros
Work on demand, no scheduled hours required
Cons
they do not value long term runners

Good when you can get it
Runner (Current Employee) - Lake Jackson, TX - November 12, 2020
Work-life balanceWork-life balance at Favor is good. You can work or not work when you wantPay & benefitsMy pay and benefits at Favor are ok. I can’t get on the schedule at all, so I don’t get the guaranteeJob security and advancementIn terms of job security at Favor, I think it’s not very secure. I get favors, but not enough to make real moneyManagementIn general, managers at Favor I’ve never interacted with oneCultureCollaboration with my colleagues at Favor is nonexistentOverallMy experience working at Favor It’s generally a decent gig. They reel you in with guaranteed hours if you schedule, but it’s either so over saturated with runners that I can’t get on the schedule, or the ones that get scheduled have access to early picks. But to have access to the early schedule..... you have to have worked your scheduled hours. If you go on call , you get a notification that there’s an on call hour available. Not once have I received the notification and been able to schedule. It’s ridiculous

Jobs at Favor
Flexible hours
Runner (Current Employee) - San Angelo, TX - November 10, 2020
I enjoy not having a set schedule but could use better pay. Long hours to make $100 per day except on weekends. It’s difficult to schedule a d so I usually just run on call or when I’m able.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
Low pay

fun place a useful way to get extra cash but not sustainable
Favor Runner (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - October 28, 2020
Cannot make a living on this alone. it is very hard on your vehicle. sometimes you have to go long distances. sometimes you are not tipped well. Many times you spend most of your money on gas unless you have a high fuel efficiency vehicle.
Pros
Be your own boss, pretty stress free overall.
Cons
low pay, low chances for advancement.

Good company
Favor Runner (Former Employee) - Dallas, TX - October 18, 2020
Good company, provided away to get ahold of someone pretty quickly if you have questions or are in a situation you are uncomfortable in. Very understanding if your uncomfortable in a neighborhood or have a food allergy, they will switch the pick up to someone else without a problem or push back
Pros
Flexible schedule, you pick the time and area you want to work in
Cons
Pay is very little

Very good gog job.
Favor Runner (Current Employee) - San Angelo, TX - October 13, 2020
Favor is a good delivery job that lest you set your hours. The more you put in to customer service the more you will get out of it, texting your customer and keeping them up to date greatly helps.It is tip based/min hourly but I have always made a average of 10 a hour
Pros
Work when you want.
Cons
Tip based.

Work all day for little pay
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Austin, TX - September 18, 2020
This job will totally ruin your vehicle. The management or lack thereof it's a joke. If you enjoy working for yourself then this is the job for you. I liked being able to help people. However you have to work constantly in order to make a little money. There ad claims 15 to 18 per hour. Most of the time I didn't make that. It's all dependent upon the tips and some don't tip at all. So you only get very little from favor for a delivery fee.
Pros
Work independently
Cons
Very little pay. Extreme wear and tear on your vehicle

As nice as it is to be able to work whenever I want, minimum tips needs to be more
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Mostly The Woodlands - September 16, 2020
They have it set as minimum tip, $2.10, which is not only extremely low, but if I am running a favor trip and the cost is over 50, minimum tip should be at least 5 I would think. Otherwise there was no point in me doing the favor run. It's costing me more money to work than I'm getting paid.
Pros
Work whenever you want
Cons
Minimum tip is extremely low

Flexible and fun
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Waco, TX - August 3, 2020
I love this job. It helps make ends meet, and I can work when I can, often as I can. I feel like I'm able to help those who aren't able to get out, or don't have the time to. This job is certainly for those who are tired of being behind a desk.

Not worth it
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Dallas, TX - July 18, 2020
Your car will depreciate its value before you make some profit!! Tips are not very generous. If you're going to do it, please research your market/area or you'll be hours without delivery and/or have to drive big distances.
Pros
You're your own boss
Cons
Car will not last
