Low pay across the board, only good for a few extra dollars in your pocket
The app is great as you can find immediate work once you register and complete filling out your profile and work experience. There are a lot of great hard working people I have met since picking up shifts do instawork. But that’s about it sadly. This app is heavily automated and basically runs itself most of the time. There are many things this company must improve on, such as lower fees for the Instapay feature which charges a 5% fee just to get your own money so even if you make more instawork takes more of your hard earned money. Many other apps charge a flat dollar amount which shows more appreciation towards worker's payments after a shift is complete. It was also very demoralizing to learn that Instawork basically “steals” a large amount of the hourly pay for shifts. An example would be a partner paying instawork 18 dollars an hour for a shift yet, Instawork takes around 3-5 dollars an hour of that hourly rate so a worker on the app is actually only earning 12 or 13 dollars per hour. This is very greedy on Instawork’s side :( since the app is basically running itself yet is taking large cuts do better!
