DON'T DO IT
|
|
Flexible (ish), Can work when you want, a good way to make quick money
|
Management, Communication, Customers, Respect for employees, limited number of tasks, low pay
I worked with Fancy Hands for over 5 years. Over the years I had completed thousands of tasks and even had clients that would request me specifically. If anyone would ask me about a work from home side hustle I would point them towards FH. I SWORE by them. But at the end of August, my account was put into what I later found out to be "soft disable". I was able to access the forums and work on any tasks I had already claimed (which means answer any client follow up questions which you DO NOT get paid for). I emailed management and didn't receive a response, after a few weeks I emailed again and didn't hear back. I didn't hear back until I refused to reply to a client until I was given an answer. Then I was told they needed to look into it and then I waited ANOTHER month+ then I go on to find that my account was disabled with no explanation.
The crazy thing is, that I wasn't the only person in the forum having this issue. It wasn't a fluke this is how they treat their employees on a regular basis.
All of these positive reviews? Don't believe them they went on a few months ago and asked everyone to put positive reviews up here to bury the negative ones.
Also the number of tasks are getting fewer and fewer, may not be worth it at this point.

Treat your contractors with respect. Pay them something decent and answer emails. There is no reason it should take MONTHS to answer a simple email. It is embarrassing and sad.

Pay your contractors appropriately, and put more restrictions on what people can ask and how much they can pay for it. Some customers are completely unreasonable in wanting several hours worth of work, adding to it, and only wanting to pay three dollars for it. Fancy Hands will always back the customers even if the request can not be answered to their specifications because the answer does not exist.

Great Company To Work For
|
|
I've worked for Fancy Hands for almost 6 years. I've stayed with them for so long because I get to work from home which is so convenient, while earning money and helping to raise my daughter. I've never had any problems or issues working here. I've been treated very well. I've had very positive experiences and have been some wonderful clients who I have worked with for years. This job works very well for me and I'm looking forward to the future and what it brings! I hope to continue to grow with the company!
|
I don't have any cons to list.

Terrible system to use
|
|
You can make your own hours
|
Very difficult system to use, a simple task ends up taking way more time due to all of the regulations around how to use the system, emails, calls within the system. The credits and time is confusing, the back and forth between client, manager, etc takes too long and delays the task even more. A simple task that typically would take me 15 minutes to complete couldn't be finished and sent to the client within the days time due to all of these regulations.

Pays the bills
|
|
I can work (almost) whenever I want to. There are times where there aren't a lot of tasks to work on, but this also depends on the skills you have to offer. I have worked for Fancy Hands for almost 8 years. I have paid my bills with money left over. I have also worked very minimally when I work other jobs. I am a mentor, someone who proof reads assistants work. I can mentor here and there and put a couple extra bucks in my pocket.
|
I really cannot think of a con so to say. This work is as easy as making an appointment all the way to full blown research and website designs.

The more you work, the easier it gets. When I was working Fancy Hands full time, I would go on in the evenings and grab 10 to 15 tasks to start working on the next day.

Not worth it
|
|
Work when you want - sort of
|
Too many regulations for not enough pay.
Disrespectful managers.
You don't really get to work when you want because once you open a task with someone you HAVE to be on call for that person or you get penalized.
The pay is not worth the amount of effort you'll put in.
You'll be left wondering if anyone else in the world knows how to work google because some of the requests you'll get are SO STUPID.
