“Your time. Your goals. You're the boss,” says DoorDash on their hiring page. Available in over 7,000 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, DoorDash claims to be all “about connecting people with possibilities: bigger savings accounts, wider nets, stronger communities, and happier days.”
According to DoorDash’s official requirement, all you need to be their delivery driver is a mode of transportation, a valid driver's license, proof of insurance (if you'll be using a car), and a smartphone since you'll be using the app to accept orders. It does indeed sound like a very appealing job, but is it really that simple and easy?

Well, if you look at the company’s Indeed rating of 3.2 and a slightly higher GlassDoor rating of 3.9, it looks, if anything, mediocre. Mashed has recently looked into the insides of working as a DoorDasher in this piece, and found that Dashers themselves are not that happy. They claim that pay is low, management is terrible, customers are a PITA, and job security is zilch. The general consensus is that it is fine as “temporary part-time side gig,” but that's all you get.
And when it comes to customers, DoorDash is notorious for the lumps of money they charge them. One Los Angeles Yelper described her experience, "I ordered from one of my favorite restaurants and they [DoorDash] charged me about $18.00 in fees. I ended up paying $43.00 for 2 tacos, 2 burritos and a chicken soup. They will rip you off with their fees... It's just not worth it unless you are starving with no way to get food. I will never use DoorDash again!"
