Transferred payroll funds 8 days ago to… Transferred payroll funds 8 days ago to the same bank account I have on file with them for ten years. Today i got a notice that my deposit failed and to try again. Delays are becoming more and more their new normal. I called and asked if they understood people depended on payroll and was hung up on. Scamsters.

Deceptive work order wages I am thankful to be a part of a platform that allows people to connect with potential buyers to earn income. It has been freeing not being a part of it a traditional W2 work paradigm. What I have noticed happening though is potential buyers looking for skilled workers at bargain-basement prices. This business practice is generally accepted in a free market enterprise, but is also the source of my contention. My gripe is how buyers attract potential workers with often confusing and misleading wages. I've been afforded a few opportunities to speak with companies posting work on the platform, and have heard on more than one occasion the horror stories of some of the people they've contracted. This isn't surprising considering the way buyers bait a potential worker. Often times the wage will be presented as something like $165 (example). Sounds decent for a work order until you realize that the number represents a potential earning and not an actual earning. That $165 could be for up to 3 hours work. A dig deeper into the work order could unearth an "estimated" time for the job being less than what is being offered, say 1 hour. Now the advertised $165 went down to a likely $55! It is upsetting to see how deceptive the pricing really is. What makes it even more upsetting is when you place a counteroffer looking for the advertised price and are not awarded the job. This is what has prompted me to draft this complaint. The crux of my complaint is this: How is it okay to knowingly use deceptive pricing strategies? I have found that it pays better to accept jobs you are not qualified to do because they take longer to perform, which allows an opportunity to earn the amount advertised. If you happen to be adept at what you do, you make less because you don't require the entire time that has been allotted. Proof of this practice is evidenced by companies changing the work order's terms. I have applied for numerous jobs asking for the amount offered only to see the job details get changed. This means they couldn't find someone to perform the work for less than what was advertised. It's unfortunate there is so much dishonesty out there. It's a shame a gentlemanly agreement to render work isn't enough or even honored anymore, but what is even more disheartening is this platform allowing these conditions to breed this kind of environment. Furthermore, it is sad for a business relationship to be predicated upon a foundation of lies and distrust. In today's economic times, transparency should be the norm, not the exception.

I have been using this platform for 3+… I have been using this platform for 3+ years without issue. I do use others, and without naming them, WorkMarket outperforms the competitors in that the freelancer stands to make the most because fees are not generally the freelancer's responsibility. Yes, it does vary, but 98% of the fees are covered by the buyer. The support staff offers assistance in most cases and although they tend to favor a buyer, they do try for an amicable and beneficial resolution towards the freelancer.

Disastrous product Disastrous product, full of bugs. I do not understand, how in 2022 such a product can exist. Simple freelancer sign-up process takes days because of a series of mysterious "unexpected errors" and bugs that the support agents themselves don't know about. Their support staff also takes long or otherwise doesn't follow instructions well. Once you do get into the system after manual assistance, changing your personal details will yet again trigger "internal server errors." If paying freelancers, stay away from WorkMarket. Your time is better spent elsewhere than helping these morons debug their systems. I'm genuinely appalled at the sheer incompetency of this product.

Ripoff platform! Withholding money without reason. This company could hold your contractors payment for many days without letting you know, and they only send your money out after you check with them. And they charge you a variety of fees. I had this experience and I believe lots of others as well. Working with this platform will force your contractors to leave you because of no proper payment and unreasonably collecting a variety of fees. Ripoff platform!
