Uber Employee Reviews

Too many chefs in the kitchen when it comes to management which results in contradictions and inefficiencies that would easily be avoided in other similar environments. Lack of accountability on nearly all levels results in months of delays and backlogged and repeated work with no one to address said issues properly. Do not value employees input or take suggestions seriously; management has tunnel vision when it comes to their initiatives.

It was often difficult to connect to a live Uber representative in crisis situation’s.What is a typical day like for you at the company?A typical day driving for Uber was fun and relaxed until rush-hour traffic.

Driver (Former Employee) - New Orleans, LA - September 26, 2023

Great gig to earn extra income. Got to meet a lot of new people and learned the city. However, it can cause a lot of wear and tear on your body if not mindful of overworking.

Flexible Schedule

I enjoy driving for Uber because I get advantage of choosing my own schedule and work pace. The compensation is decent and I like driving, so it's a win for me.

It’s a grind

Contract Driver (Current Employee) - Kansas City Urban Region, MO - September 25, 2023

You can’t be the flexibility, however, with increasing inflation, and just overall dangers in society, Uber is not worth it anymore. Passengers can be very hostile and entitled.

Pros

Flexibility, scheduling

Cons

Dangerous neighborhoods, belligerent passengers, false allegations, that affect ratings

Ridiculously Underpaid

Driver (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - September 23, 2023

Longgggg hours just to make less than minimum wage after expenses. Promotions & surges are things of the past, the low iq good for nothing Uber doofuses be mad greedy now days taking almost 80% commission & giving you the scraps rates are beyond ridiculous. I wouldn’t recommend Uber to anybody as it’s not worth your time for that mediocre salary

Awful

Uber Driver (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - September 21, 2023

Pay has gone down horrendously, their help hotline is terrible and useless, and the passengers no longer tip. They'll leave trash in your car, not be at the right pick-up location, and make absurd request with little compensation.

Good place to work. Pay was ok until a couple months ago when no bonuses became rare. Surges are a thing of the past. Pay became difficult to live off of.

Over worked...under appreciated by customers and Uber Corporation

Diamond XL Uber Driver (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - September 20, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Flexibility of schedule is paramountWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Not knowing who you are picking up. They see our picture, we go in blind. Especially tuff when a person books a ride for a friend and doesn't say "guest ride".What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Fake. They always believe the customers. Have the customer service people for Uber are foreign. Hard for them to fix a problem, when they don't fully understand. But people in other countries work for smaller wages...gives them a better bottom line on P &LWhat is a typical day like for you at the company?Driving for deadbeats that rarely tip! I'm a 5 star driver and only 25% of customers tip....they have to understand we are like bartenders....make our money off tips...not the crumbs Uber pays us. We get 40%...they take 60%. Bonuses are super low in Illinois in 2023!! As low as $5. I'm not kidding!!

It pays the bills

Driver (Current Employee) - Cincinnati, OH - September 20, 2023

It is very boring tedious work but it pays decent. It can be draining if you have a gas guzzler as you will spend a large amount of money on gasoline.
