Pros

Instawork is an exciting place to be, especially if you’re energized by innovation, ownership, and real impact. As an AI-first startup, the company is constantly evolving, and there’s a genuine sense that you’re helping build something meaningful and future-forward. The pace is fast, but in the best way, as there’s always something new to learn or improve upon. The value of “act like an owner” isn’t just a slogan here; people are empowered to make decisions, solve problems, and drive change. I’ve had the privilege of working with incredibly smart, collaborative, and good-hearted teammates who care about the work they do. If you’re someone who wants to grow, build, and be part of something ambitious, Instawork is a great place to do it!

Cons

If you’re looking for a highly structured environment with a lot of hand-holding, Instawork might not be the right fit. Priorities can shift quickly, so it’s important to be adaptable and comfortable with change. The company places a lot of trust in its employees which is great, but also means you need to be proactive, resourceful, and comfortable making decisions without a detailed playbook. Currently no 401(k) match, but that is not unusual for a startup.

The customer service is horrible

Pros

I've worked with this company for 4 years no complaints and still get shifts that's 120 miles away and no closer than 30 miles. The locations is way too far. They aren't helpful and the customer service through the app is the worst.

Cons

The entire app is horrible.
