I often ask Uber drivers the same and the response is generally:<p>* the pay is <i>decent</i> (ranging from a hair above minimum wage to a healthy and sustainable source of income)<p>* the benefits are <i>non-existent</i> (most don&#x27;t seem bothered by this)<p>* the job security is <i>guaranteed</i> (a huge plus)<p>* the work schedule is <i>at their discretion</i> (another huge plus)<p>* the work environment is <i>quite good</i> (passengers are usually very friendly, you work from the comfort of your car, the on-boarding process is quick and painless)<p>All in all it&#x27;s a net benefit for most people, in terms of quality of life and financial stability. What&#x27;s not to love?<p><i>Note: this is all purely anecdotal and most drivers I have spoken to have been working for &lt;1 year, in most cases &lt;6 months.</i>
