Just What I Was Looking For!

Pros

I am a Military wife living overseas, so it's been a struggle to find a job here. SimplrFlex gives me the opportunity to work from wherever I want and whenever I want, which also allows me a lot of freedom on the day to day as well, which I love.

Cons

There are slow times. A lot. I have found maybe 2-3 hours between 6 am and 8 or 9 am every morning where I typically get a bunch of emails, but other than that there are hardly ever any. So I wake up pretty early and do some work first thing in the morning, but sometimes there still isn't even enough to meet my daily goal. It's not necessarily reliable income by any means. If you get one bad customer review, it can damage your rating tremendously. Even if your peer reviews are next to perfect, you could still be at risk of being fired because of one angry customer. If you have to escalate a ticket you don't get paid, no matter how many days you've been answering their questions for them and helping them.

Pros

-Can work at any time, for as long as you want. -AMAZING support. -Get to help customers in real, tangible ways. (Rewarding!) -Friendly and accessible leadership. -Generous appreciation gifts from the company with milestones. -Can work from anywhere on my laptop with internet access (home, travel, etc!) -Lots of encouragement. -Good pay if you are efficient (paid per ticket). -Enjoyable problem-solving. -CEO Adam Grace is friendly, approachable, and involved. -Leadership takes suggestions from Experts and Specialists into account in creating new helpful features.

Cons

-Some business partners can have difficult tickets and flows, which take more time, BUT it does balance with some very easy ones so that the rate of work evens out! -Chats can take a little longer than emails, which can impact pay rate, but as you become more familiar they are easier and faster, balancing it out.

Pros

You can work from home. You can make as little or as much as you want to make.

Cons

You do a lot of work on tickets that a lot of times you do not get paid for. You also have a employee review number. This is not necessarily a good thing because no other job gig or otherwise has non-qualified non-employee persons judging whether or not another non-employee is worth keeping around. They will send you emails about a number being low and tell you that you are at risk of being deactivated when their clients unfortunately are not the cream of the crop and have a lot of issues with their own processes and relay those same issues to the platform and that somehow is reflected on you like it is your fault. There is literally nothing we can do if a customer is not happy about being told no they can't do something or no we can't do something. Or if the company has consistently given them broken or not in the same condition item that they purchased and the customer is agitated already. Or if they have issues in delivery and have people angry on social media and elsewhere about it because they failed to live up to their promises that is not something we can help since we are not shipping. When you go to check your numbers they quote it is consistently higher then they say it is and that makes for a very confusing time. I think there is a lot of disorganization from both the people running the platform as well as the clients. You cannot provide the best customer service experience without all the information available or policies that change and they do not consistently notify you of those changes but will write you a slightly nasty letter or message about what they feel you did wrong. Or agree with the customer and don't have a good explanation as to why they feel that way that other people with an objective opinion do not quite understand either.

Hi there! Thank you for being one of our valued Experts and for taking the time to provide your feedback. While we certainly understand it can be difficult taking feedback from others, in these cases, the feedback provided by your Peers is to help you improve. Your Peers understand the work that you do, the policies that you face, and the customers you support, so they can best provide feedback on the areas that you can improve. For your Customer Reviews, we're extremely diligent about ensuring that Experts only receive reviews on the service that they provide and the experience that they could control. For every review that an Expert receives, customers are asked to tell us why they chose the star-rating that they did. If it was something that the Expert could control, it counts towards your score. If it wasn't (poor policies, slow shipping, wrong products, etc.), then the review is not counted. This information is provided to Experts in several places including on your Dashboard, in our Help Center (http://s.simplrflex.com/ratings), and welcome messages sent to our Experts. Additionally, all Experts deal with the same policies, operational issues, and upset customers, but 93% of Experts are above the thresholds, which confirms that it is possible to help provide a great customer experience even when things don't go as planned. At the end of the day, the Customer Review policy is in place to help ensure we achieve our shared goal of providing world-class customer service. We try our best to offer our Experts as many resources as possible, but we're always here to help; just reach out. We want to see all of our Experts excel on the SimplrFlex platform. Thanks again for your feedback and for everything you do. Adam
