Pros

Great, genuinely hard working people.

Cons

Salary was below SF standard living. Most didn't even get a salary raise until after a year and when it did happen, it was the 0.3 standard metric that they used.

Thanks for the review! In addition to base salaries, we pay for 98% of healthcare premiums, gym reimbursement, generous option grants, ability to work-from-home, 401K match and any office snacks you want. For base salaries, we try to pay above average for customer service representatives in the bay area (in part by using Glassdoor data), but don't tie our salaries to specific city costs because so many employees commute. Unfortunately, we do not have a ton of opportunities for advancement, so we use economic data to keep salaries up to speed. I hope this helps!

Pros

A few good gigs come though.

Cons

They take a huge cut of your pay. Website login doesn't work most of the time, leaving you unable to even submit a bid. All in all, a waste of time.

Thanks for the review! We have two types of jobs 1) where our partners tell us what to pay creatives and 2) where creatives tell us what they want to be paid. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the first type as that is up to our partners. For the second type, all creatives are subject to the same "rake". So if you want to make $1000, simply bid $1200. Everyone is on a level playing field. Hope this helps! Regarding any tech issues, we are constantly building and releasing. I hope your issue was resolved shortly after you posted this and encourage you to reach out to our customer service team in the future.
