Gaggle Safety Representative Reviews

Pros

The flexibility is perfect for someone who needs to work around a busy schedule. During the school year it is very easy to maintain minimum hours. Great support and working environment. Perfect for someone who is self motivated.

Cons

Work is not as steady in the summer when school is out. Definitely a side income for the summer months. But during the school year easy to accommodate a somewhat regular schedule if you choose.

Pros

Work anytime queue is open

Cons

Fire you anytime for any reason

Pros

Workload unpredictable, but was good while it lasted. Worked remotely for 4 years and was consistent with good feedback during that time.

Cons

New people hired often ate up hours and those that had been there longer were on same level of treatment as those just signing on. Ended up having my contact terminated without notice and no explanation why. I just lost access to my schedule and log in was not usable one day when I went to sign on. After working as part of the team for so many years, building those relationships and being a part of something I believed in, it was difficult to just be cut off like that with no explanation after always receiving positive feedback for my work. I was trained above my level and used to cover shifts frequently, signed up to work overnight shifts and holidays, and always tried to go above and beyond to have my coworker's back, as it felt like they had mine. It was also difficult to keep seeing new jobs posted continually, so it wasn't a reason of cutting back on workers.

Pros

Work from Home , and have own space.

Cons

Considering your using your own equipment ( computers) the pay is not that great. This is a contractual arrangement that can be terminated at any time.

Pros

I loved this job it was perfect for me

Cons

They don't seem to take disabilities into consideration...I tried to reach out to them but they just brushed me off.

Pros

You really are only looking out for safety. It does make a difference.

Cons

None, really. This job is something you can do at home for some extra cash, don't expect any frills.

Pros

Very flexible and being able to get set hours is great. Pay is good and I love being able to try and help children who really need it and keep them safe. Only been here a couple months and still learning. But I'm hoping to contract with them for the long haul.

Cons

Wish feedback was more individualized. Wish the contract wasn't a month-to-month

Pros

-Work from home -Log in on your own schedule -It's legit-- they do pay -Forum and support is great. Someone will always be there to answer your question almost instantly. -Friendly (online) environment. -Feel like you're helping keep kids safe

Cons

-They pay by the hours, but you must log out when the status is "closed". The status often closes after 5-10 minutes, and you find yourself waiting to see when it will open up again. -Status often stays closed for about a half hour, it's something to have in the background while you're already on the computer. -You spend more than an hour waiting and watching for the status to open, so you make that $10/hr bit by bit, over the course of days.

Pros

You get to pick your own hours.

Cons

Management does not communicate well. You have to constantly sign in and out of your work site. You might get tasks for five minutes and then have to sign out.

Pros

Work from home on your own time.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. My experience was the same as another review posted from October 2019. I studied the material given in an attempt to get their guidelines down perfectly and worked there for a little over a month before a first email saying I did not meet their standards. That's okay, I wanted to get better and know what I was doing wrong, but upon messaging them I never received any response as to what I needed to do better. Just a few hours after that, I got a generated email saying my contract was not renewed, even though they say contract renewal takes place at the end of the month. It seemed like a great waste of time. They say you need 10 hours minimum a week, and sometimes it felt like you had to really fight for that minimum, when 10 hours a week is just barely more hours than ONE shift of an entry level job. The job was fun to do so it's a great shame that the company isn't more helpful towards those they're contracting. You don't ever actually get to meet anyone in the company once contracted. You simply join their Slack and work when work is available, so I can't personally say anything about anyone at Gaggle.
