Pros

Wonolo has a great opportunity to make a very big dent in the enormous staffing industry. We have proved out the concept, helped thousands of everyday people find work, and become a valuable resource for businesses with ever changing staffing needs. For the most part, the people here are great, it's a very open and humble culture and I consider many colleagues great friends. Everyone truly cares about the company, our customers and our community of workers.

Cons

It's a tough industry, with a lot of legal guidelines to navigate as we bend the borders of traditional staffing. We need to figure out where we're gong to add the most value and have the best chance of succeeding and focusing on that like a laser. We also need to acknowledge that when you are dealing with thousands of people as your "product" on a daily basis, issues are going to arise, ands every problem can't be fixed with smarter analytics and systems. I believe we need to be honest with ourselves about some of the challenges we're facing.

Pros

Work when you want to, IF they have any assignments.

Cons

Job board is filled with jobs that are NOT available, They call them waitlisted. What is the point of posting the job if they don't actually have an opening. Previously a job showed up when they actually had an opening and someone would select it and complete the assignment. Now it says they have 30 jobs available. but they DON'T. I believe they're doing this to make their numbers look good since they lost so many contracts. I heard it was for price gouging. Not surprised.
