Pros

Remote work from anywhere, Unlimited PTO

Cons

We had no direct supervisor to mentor and help on the field hands-on as an SDR. They said they were going to hire an SDR Lead/supervisor but never did...The reason why, we do not know. Low base compensation. It's very low for an SDR in this market, especially with the rising cost of living with inflation. They try to sell you on perks like doordash credits that you rarely get and an a quarterly snack box. Sales entered a low season due to the declining economy all across the board for everyone and management did not do anything about it but forcing us to do a Udemy course for us to drive sales. I was let go due to "a restructure of the organization" after labor day (a day that celebrate laborers) in the middle of my shift, along with half of my team. They gave me the news very quick like they did not care. On top of that there was a very weak severance. I really felt undervalued and discarded like trash.

Pros

Client Matching: The platform effectively matched me with a client whose needs and preferences aligned with my expertise, resulting in a fulfilling and productive working relationship. Supportive Management: The XA Managers have been readily available to assist with any questions or issues I encountered, providing valuable guidance and support throughout the project. Timely Payments: I've consistently received my invoices on time, ensuring a reliable and hassle-free payment process.

Cons

Salary Increase Uncertainty: While freelancing offers flexibility, it can also be challenging to negotiate salary increases. I'm unsure if there's a clear process or guidelines for requesting a raise within the MarketerHire platform.

Pros

None. I've gotten zero work from the company.

Cons

If you are a freelancer, don't waste your time with this platform. I was aggressively pursued by their "Talent Acquisition" team to complete my profile and get everything activated. I was promised they had clients waiting with pay averaging $3-7k a month. I had a thorough vetting process with lots of unpaid questions that required detailed answers. I spent 5-6 hours completing everything thrown my way. After "activating" my profile, another outsourced employee gave my profile the green light. Great, right? The work was about to start flowing in! Wrong. It's been 3 months since wasting time on this garbage platform just to get ghosted by every employee I've ever been in contact with. Their acquisition team is clearly incentivized to onboard as many freelancers as possible with ZERO follow-through. Once a freelancer's profile is activated they act as if you don't exist. Big ol' waste of time. If you do decide to onboard with this company, comb through their contract... it's extremely risk heavy on the freelancer's end, requires you to have business insurance, and so much more. Be careful.
