Able to choose your own schedule. Cash out anytime.
No status as an employee, so no benefits. No guaranteed minimum income. Tons of driver competition (long waits between pings for rides). Passenger variability. Have to use your own vehicle if not renting through the Lyft program; no compensation for wear and tear on the car.
