  • The company's strong market presence and brand recognition make it a stable and attractive employer in the competitive gig economy.
  • Strategic partnerships and promotions, like those with McDonald's and Cold Stone Creamery, provide employees with unique opportunities to work on high-visibility projects.

What critics are saying
