I have a completed background check which shows all clear, however , in the app it says my criminal background failed. I tried contacting support several times over the past week and NO ONE is helping! It takes forever to get a response from ANYONE and theyre super unhelpful in helping you resolve your problem. I have my completed check from THEIR provider Yardstik and it says all is clear (as it should) and they keep telling me o have to upload more to yardstick as the check hasn't completed.
Reviews for WorkWhile
← Back to WorkWhileMy app has been frozen for two days. I reinstalled the app, restarted my phone. I even tried downloading it on a different phone. I have shifts scheduled that I can't view. I emailed support and the have been zero help. All I got was three different people on the same email thread telling me to restart the app.
SMH! Workwhilejobs is a scam! Why is it when you waste your time doing a background check and onboarding paperwork just to be placed on the wait-list and Workwhile doesn't advise that it's an on call job app only. I took a screenshot of how they claim to have 72 plus job openings, but I only have 4 wait list available for myself. My rating is high, but it has been a month. In addition, the companies they select for you are military veteran owned and are misogynistic demons. What a wasteoftime!
The app makes it seem like you'll be able to choose from a wide variety if different shifts and companies to work with. I don't know what it looks like in other parts of the state, but here in Cali near LA, you get one single employer: Jitsu. It's a delivery driver gig, and I'm down for that. You have to download their app, go through and sign up process, and then there's no spots available. So, essentially, this app gives you nothing since you can't be a driver for the one employer they sponser
No response from companybregarding a potential account deletion/deactivation request. I understand it's not their fault that most jobs are too far for me, but a response to my request, or even a alternative solution to my issue would give me some confidence in the app. The lack of response is concerning, especially since if there was issues with my pay, and no response after 24 hours, I would have to go the labor department. EDIT: finally responded, at least.
Today, I just seen the ad & thought I would give it a try, so I downloaded the app to create account to see what jobs in the area around me. Well, tried 2x and I clicked where it said "create account", and all it does is freeze or the circle keeps going around THEN it boots you out back to the beginning page! I'm not even signed up all the way and this app is already giving me trouble! It's a NO for me now, and I really wanted to try it today and get extra little bit of money. App sucks!
Login section is terrible, I cant even see what I'm typing the letters are the same color as the background. Edit: Looks like its not just the login the whole app is like that so if you have to type in any info guess you just have to hope and pray you dont have any typos, thats honestly annoying enough to make me not want to use this app.
There are no jobs available at all....I mean zero , none ...and you have the option to get put on the wait list. Tried this many times ...nope nothing ...also most of the jobs are in the same field ( warehouse, delivery driver) and that's it ...so dont expect much variety as they seem to only be çontracted with three companies and there are no openings? Why they INSIST you do this stupid orientation that they are so strict about rescheduling ( come to find out it's virtual and u watch a video!)
The worst app on planet Earth.Sent me approximately 30 messages in 2 days about the same job, and its the only one they ever offered me in the 1 year plus since I signed up.And it's ONLY 3 HOURS AWAY!And you cannot actually use the app, as it keeps telling you to "update" the app despite being the most recent version, and that was also true a year ago, and despite many complaints about this by many people in the reviews they have not fixed it AFTER A YEAR! Do not waste your time.GARBAGE!!!!
New user, just installed the app and can't create an account. The first step of to enter my phone number and it won't let me... Edit- the text in the boxes where you enter your phone number, then later your email, password, name doesn't show up. I entered my information blindly and it worked but it was difficult to make sure I entered it correctly. Orientation was easy.... Any box that is required to type in information is glitched, can't see what you type
App is incredibly slow and buggy, you won't be able to accept shift that literally just pop up because the load time. This feature has continuously prevented me from being able to accept the few meager shifts that have been in the app. I have noticed several updates in the past few weeks and that problem seems to have started then and it's quite disheartening. UPDATE: After reaching out to support, they still claim that there is not an issue and have been completely unhelpful. DO BETTER.
I was so looking forward to using this app; haven't been able to find ANY conventional work in six months and this probably would've been my godsend. However, I opened it up today and it gave an error message that said 'An update is available that must be installed', and won't let me do anything in the app. I had the latest version, but tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it still gave me the same error. Can't do anything within the app. HUGE disappointment. :(
Great for finding warehouse jobs quickly. If you're moving to a new city and need something fast. However, DO NOT take driving jobs. It's a scam. You're expected to use your own car/gas but NOT reimbursed for miles...the description says "it's included in your base pay" but it is not...it's basically a loophole for them to get away with paying under minimum wage. I'm currently in a legal battle with Returnmates for paying me under state minimum. Even besides gas, it was still below minimum.
I've only been with this app for a week and already I've had two really good shifts. now I will be accurate and say that there are not a lot of shifts that are available yet. however the two that I've had were actually shifts, paid well we're very well organized between the app and the partner and the payday very quick and easy. I'd highly recommend this app.
Long process to get started only to find out there are no jobs in my area. There is a "more jobs" button that even has a specific number of more jobs. Click on that only to find ZERO jobs and a message that says they are working on adding jobs! Very misleading and dishonest. Not a good first impression. Zero tolerance for no shows should work both ways, but I need to work so I'm going to stick it out another couple days.
Made a new account. Would not let me log in. Asked for a password reset email, even though I just set up the account, so I know the password. Would not send email. Tried several times. Even looking in spam. Brought up an error message stating that something was unauthorized and it could not send the credentials I was asking for. Oh well. On to the next app.
Not a bad app but it could use improvement. There is no option to change your phone number within the app. Uppity have to contact customer service and wait 3 days for it to update. That's no fun! You're also not allowed to allow push notifications. When sites post shifts you're non l none there wiser unless you constantly check with is rather inconvenient. Other than that, it's a pretty solid app.
Why is there no customer service? I called a number that I had to look for online, which I can't find in the app or on the work while website. The automated response says to open "chat" in the app, but I can't find it. Then it says y'all rarely check your voicemail. I left one anyway. Writing this review in hopes I can get some help. I work two shifts recently and I believe my pay is short. I don't have enough characters left to describe the issue here. Please respond, ASAP!
Horrible service! Limited jobs available. The jobs that are available probably don't pay well and/or may be too far. You jump through hoops. They want lots of personal info. Interface is iffy. Customer service is excellent. I feel like it's a scam! I don't personally trust the positive reviews. Maybe they are seeing something different. Be careful...
Very simple and fluid app to use. I like it better than insta work for picking up shifts when I'm home from traveling around. However I wish there were more jobs available in my local area instead of far out of the way. It's not a big deal if you drive and have a car, but I imagine that for someone who doesn't it limits the jobs you can book and get to as most of the jobs posted start at 8am (if not earlier). Overall not bad at all, just has to get more accessible jobs imo.
