Pros

The people were nice and there was some support in place for training. The hybrid working scheme was also a life saver and made the job actually workable!

Cons

The new management team completely drove myself and many colleagues away from the company. Mark Wright, the old owner, was so supportive and genuinely cared about my successes and my struggles, however the new owners made themselves so scarcely available for employees, and suggestions for improvements in the working environment went ignored. This had an impact on the work we fulfilled for clients, and it seemed as though we were working on a quantity over quality basis, which as a project manager drove me away from the company.

Pros

Remote, mindless work but I did learn how to fully use my Crypto.com account.

Cons

The job involves simply clicking on 3 sets of 45 automotive items to raise their online visibility. Commissions are paid along with bonuses; $200 after 2 days, $500 after 5 consecutive days, and $1500 after 15 consecutive days. I was only told I needed to keep my minimum balance at $100 but in fact, when a “high margin” order comes in, the employee has to fund it! I was never told this. After 2 days, I had to put in $200 to cover an order which was reimbursed with my first pay transfer. On my 3rd day of work, I was asked to add $1,350 to cover an order and continue work. I worried about this but did it. 12 clicks later, I got hit with another high margin order requiring $4,250!! My advisor and Customer Service said continue but I refused to put $5600 at stake. There was NO escalation path to contest my situation. I lost the $1350 and the pay associated with the work. My support contacts were like robots; “just pay the money and you’ll be fine”. One even offered to help me with a $1,000 loan; this can’t be legit. I was introduced to a “User group” of other employees. It is a cult who refused to acknowledge any shortcomings, one of whom blamed me for not having enough money to fund the work. (My response was had I been told up front of the need for employee funding, I wouldn’t be upset.)
