If you’d like aggravation all day long while you’re working work for instar |

They will make you pull your hair out
If you’d like aggravation all day long while you’re working go and work for Instacart. Customers will bait you with a big tip and then they’ll take it away 2 days later if you don’t have everything on their order. Orders will be canceled when you’re in the grocery store shopping and you won’t get paid for it. You can spend up to two hours pulling groceries and only get 7dollars And then have to deliver them 20 milesmiles a way

Fun being able to work independently and at my own pace
You just go on there easy to use app, pick out orders, and go shop for them. Once you have them picked up, then send you an address to deliver them too. Very easy work

I work when I want.
The pay is absolutely horrible and the batches are so time consuming it's almost not even worth it. The base pay/what instacart pays people definitely need to be raised.

Terrible company to work for
Discrimination towards males . Definitely plays favorites , nobody’s job is safe besides management. It’s all a lie . Only good thing were the snacks , everything else 100% sucks

Okay Job
The Atlanta location is okay. You have to be open to change. There is a lot of micro-management. It does not follow the attendance policy. Training lasts 2-3 weeks, and some things are uncertain. The pay is $16.00hr.

Great side hustle
Way too stressful to maintain full-time long-term but great in a pinch. Rating system is not the best and not explained well to customers which causes customers to rate ineffectivelu and cause you to lose high pay batches for noyl reason
ProsFlexibility, great tip possibility
ConsUncertain longevity

Shady Business
They lure you in with decent pay at first but after over hiring they start to weed out people by paying less and less and keeping the people who are desperate enough to take jobs for less then they should. They constantly say they care about their employees for the PR but truth is they couldn't care less. An acceptance rate of 100% is guaranteed to net less then minimum. They want you to accept orders at a rate of a full time employment while only paying you per contract as a 1099. They want to have their cake and eat it too, and for you to pay for it. Its deplorable and I rue the day that they get exposed for their shady business practices such as these and tip stealing.

deactivation
They deactivate you after few mistakes, but several great reviews. Prior to being deactivated I loved working for this company. I loved my freedom to work my own set schedule and to choose how much I wanted to make daily.

No longer hiring in this area
They outsourced all entry level positions to other countries. This was a contracted position, and the contract had expired for the local area. No position currently exists.

Very fixable working hours
Great as a survival job. Don't expect to earn a lot but it's great for a temporary or an extra income. They used to pay fair amount of payments when I first started working in October, 2018. However, a lot of payment strategies have changed since December 10, 2018 which is way less then before.

Great Environment
My experience with Instacart was very good. I was trained well and I manage to learn a lot from this job. The management was good as well. Workplace culture was also a fun part of the job.
