Instawork: Be your own boss users say on Google Play
this app is pretty convenient for anyone who's looking to pick up some extra shifts without having to commit to a second job! I'm pretty impressed with how established they are , and the notifications are perfect lastinite reminders just in case you decide you want to pick up last minute shifts. I'm excited to use this app more and establish my network a bit more here locally . thanks again instawork keep up the good work!
so I was a little confused I thought right off the bat you get into the payment but you have to work a couple shifts and to be able to get the instapay option. an hour after I clicked into my first shift it booted me off for no reason at all but the person who is hiring me to do the work took care of the problem right away to get it all figured out as far as as far as day labor I will be using Insta work again
I will say customer service is on top of things. I appealed my suspension and they understood. I really don't mind the app. but im still curious why we need printed time sheets and the app is a timesheet with GPS on your location. there's only one job here that I want but I cant print the timesheet in time. library opens at 10. I'll print a few up incase I see the gig again. but it complicates things, & we miss some money that could've been made.
On one hand, I've had some really good opportunities and experiences working these shifts. On the other hand, Instawork can give you a really hard time or even remove your shift access completely and getting it fixed can be difficult or near impossible. So I'm not sure all the upfront effort is worth it, just depends how bad you want go to the temp route. Other small issue: They owe me $67 that they have yet to make right, despite many attempts.
5 to 1 star now,insta deteriorated 100% ran by AI,if you are an immigrant NO ENGLISH,this company caters to you by mandatory spanish speaking only jobs even though the job is English,this company is racist and against English speaking and OSHA, doesnt pay overtime and will send you to illegal /immigrant crime companies 90% of jobs total pay is less than 20$says 26$ ph job is 15 minutes,is using your voice/info to train AI be warned,get a real job,5 years with insta get same job as first day guy
