In the beginning stages it was great. There are some flaws for it, mostly from the driver side though. They're required to pay fees for every person they pick up. So if they pick someone up who wants to go .5 miles, they pay the same fee as if it was a 10 mile ride. It doesn't scale down at all which can make it not worth it for a lot of drivers.

Also, driver liability within Uber is not good. For example, if you're going to pick up a passenger and don't have anyone in your car and get in to an accident. You're not covered because you weren't technically working for Uber because you didn't have anyone in your car.

There's all sorts of stuff. They failed to do a background check for awhile. A bunch of predators signed up and attacked women. They have been abusive to journalists who speak out against them. They've hired people to try and put their competition out of business by putting in fake calls. And they are stealing data on you. They are tracking where you are going and what you are doing. That's creepy to me.
