Pluspunten
You make your own schedule. Signing up to drive is super easy. No pesky job interview or questions. Talking to nice people and hearing interesting stories. Really easy job. I know you can make big money and it's worth it in bigger cities like KC and Oklahoma and you can make enough to do it full time.
Minpunten
Not busy enough to do full time during the day in Wichita, Ks. All nights and weekends. Drunk and rude customers who treat you like you are beneath them, make fun and make sarcastic comments. Super loud drunk and unruly people. Forced to have awkward conversations and answer personal questions when you wish they would talk amongst themselves and let you drive. People trying to bring alcohol in the vehicle. Asking for spit cups. Possible vomiting. People giving bad ratings because GPS is wrong. Drunk customers giving wrong addresses for pickup and then blaming the driver and giving bad ratings. Uber doesn't allow tipping through the app and the pay isn't worth it for the time, gas, Milage, wear and tear on your vehicle and rudeness of drunks. Surge rates are almost impossible to get in Wichita. Not busy enough. I've also gotten sexually harassed. Uber online support doesn't answer questions correctly or fix issues. Their responses seem scripted and don't really help. Wichita cops don't really support Uber. You can get $150.00 fine for picking up customers at the airport in arrivals instead of parking in the designated spots by the parking garage. You can't park in taxi spots at the airport or Intrust arena and it's tough to find people after concerts or events and then the riders always blame the driver. Old Town puts up cones on weekends blocking off a bunch of areas making it hard to pick people up. People also don't want to come to you if cones are blocking. You can't get paid until the customer gets in the car, so sometimes you are in route and customer cancels or if they give you the wrong location and you spent time driving and waiting for them and can't find them they just cancel and get another Uber and you get nothing. Surge rate notifications aren't specific enough in Wichita for you to find and chase down surge fares. I've rarely gotten a surge rate.
