Great concept but...

Unfortunately there isn’t enough jobs to make a real living. I live in Cleveland, Ohio and there are so many hospitality options out here yet Upshift offers a small fraction. If you’re not into banquet serving or have experience as a cook there will not be many options to choose from. You’re lucky if you get chosen for a shift at all. So many people use the platform yet there is limited work. On a positive note, the shifts that are there have great payouts, you can make up to $15/hr. I love how you are in control of clocking in and out, and that you get complete info about each shift before applying for it. The app is very easy to use. You are able to keep track of shifts you’ve applied to, got accepted for, and completed. You are even able to rate each shift after clocking out. There also opportunities to get hired permanently or become a regular upshifter at a specific location. You get paid every Friday as a w2 worker. All in all the app is great, I just wish there was more to offer.

Hello Vernie, the reason you were seeing fewer shifts in Feb was seasonal. Jan-March are slow for hotels and catering. Currently there are fewer hospitality shifts available due to COVID restrictions on hospitality businesses. We hope to see those lifted in the next year though and a return to normalcy and more shifts!

Unnecessary Extra Strikes
08/13/2021

I received a notice today that I had been suspended from Upshift. The first time I got a strike was simply because I had to drive from Fort Lauderdale to Miami in very terrible weather conditions. It was storming really badly. I even tried my best to go, but could not see anything while driving, so I decided against it last minute to avoid getting in a car accident. Since there is no way I can call to let someone know why I had to cancel, I had no other choice but to cancel through the app and risk getting a strike. The second incident was because I had misread what the uniform requirements were. I had confused the uniform for a last shift I had with the shift I had today and, unfortunately, was sent home. I was supposed to wear a black shirt, but had a white shirt on instead since it was the uniform for the last shift. I was sent home for this which is understandable. However, I received a third strike for leaving early, but this decision was out of my control because the manager asked me to leave. Unfortunately, because of this, I was forced to clock out before 3pm. Which, in turn, caused an account suspension. It hasn’t even been a week since I got hired and am already suspended.

Almost a great company

For anyone thinking of trying this app for work it is OK if you’re in between jobs, just want an extra gig here and there or traveling around. It’s definitely NOT good as a full time job, especially since jobs are only in certain cities, I would recommend other agencies for travel all around the country. Not only that but it’s very difficult to communicate with anyone when you are having an issue, I wonder if they even like to work at all, basically don’t expect help right away it would be days if not weeks for them to help you most of the time! They have an automated system that will point you and even if you are trapped in a snow storm and can’t make it to work they still will point you, after 3 points your fired. Good luck trying to get them to wave a real emergency Im not sure if they really care. Just be careful and try to schedule yourself days ahead of time and always check the weather in the winter it’s better to avoid issues if you even think you might get stuck in the snow. This is not worth more than your life or safety.

Worst app ever
10/19/2023

I have gotten only one job since I went through the very quick process of orientation. You get very little information besides the video during orientation and the person holding it in AZ was not very helpful at all with questions. I asked about my background she shrugged and waved it off and said it wouldn’t matter. Yet I’m still here just getting paid for my first and LAST shift I ever got on this app. Then when you try to contact support it like your talking to a bunch of bots even though they claim to be real agents. The answers they give are very closed ended and they don’t really go into depth about your questions or concerns. It’s like you ask a question and it’s just a automated answer. Simple with no real meaning to help behind it. This is the 4th app I have tried that has ran background checks and I’m just confused as to why backgrounds are done for day labor!? I never had a background at day labor so why are you guys asking for workers but being picky with who you take on? Trash the app and find something more reliable than this trust me! I give it a zero star
