Pros

For customers, Instawork is a better solution than traditional staffing agencies. Company trajectory seems positive as they continue to hire in a down economy fueled by a recent round of funding. The few who are doing well seem to be making good money.

Cons

If you have any experience selling in tech this is not the place. Despite what they might say during the interview process, this is not a software sale. You are selling to chefs, bar managers, and housekeeping managers to provide shift workers. Average deal size would be $5k if that was even measured. Turnover is extremely high amongst the sales team and everyone is in fear for their jobs. AE’s don’t “earn” SDR support until you are 6 months in the seat. Upper management is more concerned with micromanaging and monitoring how many minutes after 8am you arrive to the office than figuring out why less than 30% of reps are within striking distance of quota.

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
