Bacon Work On-Demand for Negative User Reviews

✓ Bartender/ServerIt would be nice if Bacon could actually get me a gig in service instead of nothing but custodian and recycling plant gigs. Also their tests are a little silly. I’ve been bartending for 14 years and have worked in some of the best restaurants around and I actually failed my first attempt at the qualifying exam. Some of the questions are…questionable and it would have been nice to know where I made a mistake. The industry standards and Bacon’s standards are a little different..SolidScoopVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Easy to use but their on some catch 22Although the app seems to be gaining traction I find it very frustrating that an employer can delete your shift after you accepted with no penalty. I think this needs to be corrected that way the workers aren’t cheated out of their money. Remember bacon workers are still people and the stress of having a shift dropped on you should come with consequences just like if we withdraw from a shift..BaconMeHappyVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Wasn’t PaidI took a gig on thee 28 of December an the hours was indeed verified by thee employer saying I worked an provided the hours to bacon but the balance still haven’t came in my bank account, but I did the labor and there’s no one at bacon I could talk to. I updated the app deleted it reinstalled it half of everything was whipped off my account I had to retake all my test retake my picture constantly loading.LnfworldVersion: 4.0.4

✓ WASTE. OF. TIME.I spent HOURS just trying to get through their stupid onboarding quizzes that are required before you can even look at any job listings. These quizzes were mandatory even if you have no experience in the category or no interest in working it(I.e. bartending or catering). Each question took MINUTES to load. A true test of my patience. But I had to finish what I started, so I painfully finished all the quizzes (again, HOURS of my time) only for the job listings to have nothing within 50 miles of me, and nothing more recent than 3 months ago. Absolutely ridiculous, so frustrating, very unprofessional, and a complete waste of my time. Don’t even bother with Bacon..I just want a slideshowVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Greasy & Greedy company 👎🏻It’s a good idea and helpful to do gig work in general, but not under the wrong company: Bacon is BAD. I have many reasons for this but this one is the worst.. I asked the CEO why they are underpaying their workers. I knew someone (worker at the same event) that came across a paper saying they (the clients) were going to pay the workers double than what was advertised on the Bacon app. So yeah Bacon lies to their clients, resulting in underpaying the workers. After I confronted the CEO on this matter, he didn’t reply and froze my account to where I can’t view the shifts. (I’ll even see the active shifts for 2 seconds then they disappear..) So petty. Do not waste your time cuz you get everything but bringing home the bacon. I do not recommend this app or company at all..Dandycandy123Version: 3.0.0

✓ Problems with assessmentsI keep opening the assessment and the screen pops up saying I already failed 2/11 Some answers I kno I’m putting the correct answer and it doesn’t tell me which ones r wrong but I kno for sure I ddnt miss as many as some of them are sayin I am. Pls and it won’t let me retake until 4/21 which is a long way away. I needs jobs now not later and based on these easy tests I’m still qualified to do event server jobs based on my actual experience not written experience.WoahShyliteVersion: 3.0.0

✓ App IssuesAs an “Elite” level worker it’s been frustrating using the Bacon app. Ever since December 2022 the app hasn’t been showing the available jobs. And when a job shows up it’s taken immediately. I go to apply and keep getting “application limit reached” or “not accepting applications”. The app lately has only been showing one or two jobs for a specific date. They’re already taken and no other alternatives. The people at “Bacon” keep apologizing for things, saying their constantly bringing new clients/ jobs on board. Yet nothing is showing. Am I not supposed to be getting notified or invited first to jobs?? I delete and reinstall and still same issues. Or else I’ll apply and get a job. Only for it to be deleted or cancelled, and then once I got notified to confirm if I was attending that job, even though it got cancelled..Dat801honeyVersion: 3.0.0

✓ :(This app is a great concept, and is great if you use once in a blue moon. But is a terrible app if you need some regular income. Very unreliable, I’ve been suspended for a year. I had to cancel a job because a tree fell on my car after a very bad snowstorm the night before. Called the company an hour in advance, was told that was fine, and then they banned me two hours later! Had a previous bad experience with the same company, showed up for a backup shift and they sent me away saying they’ll mark that I showed up since I couldn’t log in on the app. Surprise, they never did and I was banned. Reached out to support who initially fixed the problem but was never paid for the back up shift I showed up to. It’s a very frustrating situation especially when support can take days to get back to you..ThisissoatoopidVersion: 2.9.4

✓ WowSign up as far to repetitive I mean you gave us a video then we gotta take a test on the video that’s just ridiculous then when you’re signed up you gotta take a test on all the skills that you have available on thereRepetitive and if you failed a test u hav to wait a week to take in again,Again repetitive I mean you gotta do a lot just sign up not to mention the suspension policy you can basically just get suspended just because somebody didn’t like you or if you have to leave early I get it but that’s still a little extreme and I haven’t even started yet.FkfjgdjsVersion: 3.0.0

✓ No jobsSo I live in a pretty big city and I download this app a month ago and I have yet to see any jobs pop up on the app or me being notified of any. In fact, the only jobs that pop up are a month or a couple of months old, which is strange that they are even popping up at all since they are past due. Seriously every time I check the app it’s the same five jobs that are all a month or two old that pop up and absolutely no jobs are coming through and like I said, I live in a good size city so that shouldn’t even remotely be an issue. I have tried no filter and changing various filters and the same exact five jobs pop-up that are no longer available. I think this app and company needs to expand because what’s the point of even having it if I can’t get any work?.Kellyrules1985@Version: 3.0.0

✓ Seemed like a good idea at the timeYou can get suspended for 3 days just for getting a single 2 star rating. This is not a reliable way to make money at all, the employer can essentially blackmail you to do whatever you want because they can stop you from being hired even by OTHER COMPANIES if they give you 2 stars which costs them NOTHING. Absolutely terrible policy on the strikes. Pathetically bad deal for the workers. Additionally the website you’re told to go to to review the training is down because of a cloudflare error. As a web developer myself, the degree to which this move is amateur and unprofessional truly cannot be overstated..TelfireVersion: 1.1.9

✓ My radius is 0, my area emptyDidn’t see that this is only available in certain areas. Kinda shocked really that there’s nothing in the Cleveland, Ohio area, when just about everywhere I go is short staffed. A bit bummed cuz I like the whole concept of the platform, especially the reviews bit. I suppose I will try the other apps similar to this. Best of luck to the devs, looking forward to what’s in the future of your app!..MeaVersion: 2.9.0

✓ Sketchy JobsApp is navigable and rules of independent contract work are made very clear. My problem lies with the places of work and job sites. My first and only site I pulled up to and was told I was actually not scheduled for that shift. I turned to walk away and was hastily asked to come back “no no no we will figure it out” said Sergio as he proceeded to ONLY take my name. 45 minutes later I’m standing in the middle of the warehouse with no indication of what to do having asked three separate times for a task. The app is great until you pull up to the sketchiest and dingiest sides of town where you’ll get your car, social or wallet pulled at first glance off. Not to mention I was working with almost all ex convicts😂.Adin HajulaVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Not worth it other apps are betterI’m almost a pro on bacon I’ve been working for them for a minute but I would not recommend this app to anyone. I’ve had so many issues with it from company’s saying I didn’t show up when they turned me away as a back up so they don’t have to pay the 15 to company’s outright refusing to pay me. It took me 2 weeks to get the money I was owed finally and it was no thanks to bacon support who is absolutely useless and takes forever to respond I had to go through the labor commission. Most of the jobs pay pretty low wages and are sketchy there are a few good ones I worked for and kept going back to but overall the quality isn’t the best and to top it all off they don’t take taxes out so have fun dealing with that at the end of the year. Overall I would just recommend going through a temp agency for finding a decent job this isn’t worth it..Huh3566Version: 3.0.0

✓ My reviewOk so far it was ok up the stupid quiz to be honest I don’t know why you would waste time having one you don’t need it to work a job. I have took it 3 times now and watched the video 5 times. The last two times I scored a 6/7. And it’s the same question the very last one I don’t know what im missing here it could be a glitch but after I have to wait 19 mins after each one is kinda stupid as well. Since im waiting I figure I would write a review. I think people should still be able to pass with a 6/7 to use the app but personally I think it should be taken out the video already answers questions and tells you what you need to know. Sadly I can’t give a review on how the app works and talk about how great it is do to this so just going to give it a one star because how can someone rate something that you can’t try out. It’s like a no show can’t rate someone if they don’t show up so no call no show get a rating of a one star..De-Lo7Version: 3.0.0

✓ Non payment! Do not useI worked two days through this app. The first day i got payed with no issue the second day it wouldn't let me edit my hours because earlier it didn't give me the option to end my break.. it took the company 4 days to edit my hours then another 2 to confirm it. It has been over a week and i still haven't been paid. Bacon isn’t responding to my emails and i DO NOT recommend you use this app. Instawork is better, more efficient and professional!!!.Deetz knutzVersion: 4.0.8

✓ Jobs go fastCan’t rely on the jobs available. I can get a job once every few months. Just not any options available. I open the app and barely ever see anything available. Like mostly never. But if you get one it’s straightforward work. Mostly a waste of time cause lack of jobs. Even in summer. I have used for maybe 3 years or so 25 shifts. Mostly from being reinvited after working. Not from open shifts on app.Lottery-manVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Can’t even make a profile.Help me understand why it’s not ok to discriminate or make decisions about a candidate based on gender or colour or marital status but criminal status is fine, like no one deserves a 2nd chance. Especially if their one mistake was nearly a decade ago? Future employers of America, I beg you to take charge of this new era in discrimination & break the cycle such criminals face when trying to receive forgiveness for past mistakes & rebuild their lives. It shouldn’t take a decade to do if their sentence has been served already. Stop judging already..ChicaCarrieAnnVersion: 2.9.0

✓ Horrible app and horrible customer service skillsI called them 20x about this I got no answer I was suspended form a job when I did arrived I told them that is don’t wnat to work cause they haven’t been paying me my tips they told me I would get it the next morning but i don’t get anything at all and I was suspended I wouldn’t tell anyone about this app this app is horrible the worst app I ever use and reading the reviews some saying the same thing they trying to investigate to give me my money back but do they know I have osha, hippa certificate and alot more I plan on filing a lawsuit on this app for false advertising also for suspending me also I’m suing husky kitchen the company that I work for this will not keep happening.O.m.z.xVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Workers BewareSo I was really excited about my first gig with Bacon. So I prepared arrived on time and ready to work. However when I arrived to my job site, the Owner/manager stated he did not request Bacon staff for that day…so he sent me home. However the app stated that he confirmed the job. Don’t know who is at fault or if there was a glitch with the app. Anyhoo, I felt I wasted my time and could have used the day to work somewhere else. But the real kick for me was that Bacon has yet to return any of my emails or phone calls regarding this job and in the system there is an ongoing cycling of waiting for the manager to confirm the job (which he isn’t going to do) When a company does this it does not make me feel very safe or confident in them and their ability to manage future issues if they arise..Getit19Version: 2.8.9

✓ Would be great but can’t get past the bugsSo many bugs I cant get started. It won’t let me past the Onboarding video even though I’ve let it play three times and successfully passed the quiz. Wont do anything without passing off all industry experience quizzes. Industry experience quizzes are full of bugs, check all that apply does not work, when clicking on begin brings up double image with start of quiz overlayed by end of quiz message saying Oops you failed, finished with one assessment only to find it did not save. There is no Home Screen to get to without getting past all this buggy garbage so no one to access to be able to work with on technical problems. Thanks a lot for 3 days of frustration and no viable paid work..Next time pay me for my timeVersion: 3.0.0

✓ BuggyI love the concept - and I really wanted this to work! The set up process was super buggy and kept glitching out to the point I was killing the app and starting over several times. I also clicked on stuff and it took up to 30 seconds to reflect the selections I was making. Super super slow. The other sad part is the jobs are outdated and if you aren’t looking at the date, then your wasting your time trying to apply for one that doesn’t even exist anymore - no quality control it seems like? I use the new iPhone 13 and am updated on everything on the app and phone and also have good wifi so I don’t think it’s my end that was causing the bugs but you never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.EelliizzaabbeetthhjjVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Good and BadI’ve made about $500 from the app since June. My only issue is that if you need to withdrawal from a job it gives no confirmation to the employer. It puts you at risk for being rated low by that employer. One job I worked at 3 people didn’t show and the employer had no cancellation notices from Bacon. I spoke to one of these people and they told me they did put a withdrawal into the app but it never reached the supervisor at the worksite. This has been a known issue since September and it still isn’t fixed. The other critique I have is you will apply for some positions and not be notified if your accepted or not. This can result in lost wages waiting around for a merchant that never confirms your hired. There should be a deadline for the merchants to accept the workers for their time Other than these issues I like the app..Alexis WittVersion: 1.1.10

✓ App is NOT compatible with iPhones 7 and belowThe App Store claims this app works on my iphone (6S Plus), but it absolutely does not-at all. After several emails back and forth with Bacon Work tech support, I found out this app only works on iPhones 8 and up (“no plans to change this in the future”). I attempted to report this problem to the App store, but their website says I cannot report problems with this app to them. Hmm… And so I write this review for all of you who, like me, may have been desperately hoping for work but found another dead end that nobody gives a heads’ up about. Just make the facts clear up front please, thank you..Jappie!Version: 4.0.14

✓ Completely unacceptable. Please fix this.Was suspended for a poor review that said came with boyfriend to the job and was to slow? My partner and I are completely professional and you would not even know we were together. This employer was verbally harassing all of the bacon staff. I feel shut off from bacon since it is my main source and since that was such a poor excuse to rate me poorly as well as everyone else working that day. We all worked hard and tried our best. The suspension is costing me and my partner a combined 272 from the suspension as well as not being able to do anything about Morris being verbally abusive and outright sexist. I will not rest until this is figured out. I love working for bacon but need this done..Ariel.durfey..06..Version: 2.8.7

✓ Can’t sign up because of discrimination.One of the boxes I couldn’t check to sign up was the conviction of a felony box. I was convicted of a felony 15 years ago and and have never been in trouble before or since. The fact that I can’t utilize a tool like a gig app to progress in life because of something in my past 15 years ago is absurd. Background checks in the state I live in don’t even go back that far. Whomever created this app clearly has some prejudice towards certain groups of people..JamesAndrews85Version: 3.0.0

✓ Several concernsI like the concept, but have several concerns. First, the type of work offered is not of the independent contractor variety. It is more like employment; meaning that taxes should be taken out, workers comp should be covered, unemployment insurance taxes should be paid. Second, the Contact Support button under FAQs does not work. Third, I am getting too many notifications. I would prefer only one summary notification per day; even better, a setting that I can control how often I get notifications. Fourth, it would be nice to be able to sort by date, type of work, payment amount, etc. I’m only interested in certain jobs, and it’s tiresome to scroll through them all..Hallelujah Praise the LordVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Great concept, not well thought outI’m currently suspended, should lift as of today(1/3/21). I got a low score and to many withdrawals. And that’s where my issues lie. The company doesn’t get notifications that I’m withdrawing. I even texted the number to the supervisor the night I had to withdraw late. No response. I’m assuming that if you’re using this app, you have a full time job and like the money for fun or to give yourself a little walking around cash. I got a low score due to leaving after 6 hours because of a Emercancy and I was “on my phone to much”. A night shift making signs with a skeleton crew and the amount of signs I banded will say otherwise but whatever. Poor company anyways. So not that I care about the low score, but there isn’t any place where you can dispute anything. Which can cause you do be suspended for something that most people and companies don’t care about who pay less then 10 bucks an hour. ( I probably sound entitled but whatever. I’m being honest in my review. Which is why you’re reading this) if you can find a job where you’re at. They are going to be companies with high turn over rates. For whatever that may be. Bacon really needs to go back to the drawing board and fix not only company policies, but fix all the broken bugs and glitches within the app. So I’m giving them a 1 star. Because they haven’t fixed anything from the past reviews I’ve seen. Like the job experience. Can’t scroll..Being_honest0213Version: 2.6.0

✓ Waste of time!Got introduced to this app on Indeed. Thought it was a great concept. The process it takes to get set up is daunting but understandable. But they make you take an assessment but each time you go to the next question it takes over a minute to load. At the end you have to watch and onboarding video then take a quiz. Again takes time to load to the next question. So a longer process than needed. I took the quiz 5 times because it never updated that I passed it. After all that, there’s no shifts anywhere close to me if any! Spent 2 hours of my time today for nothing! Please read these reviews!.SpecialKedVersion: 3.0.0

✓ UNRELIABLE HELL!! - SCAM -This whole app is complete hell to deal with. The so called “bacon contacts” (or the people who developed the app and help make it run) are very unreliable and take forever to answer if you have a question or problem. After you complete a job, your account balance gets added to a payment info screen, it says “you’ll receive payments daily” and every time I’ve worked a shift, it’s sat there for at least 4 days and then finally transferred to stipe which takes another 3 days. One company that posts jobs on this app, is a place where a supervisor is very unlikely to be on time. They’ve been 3.5 hours late before, and even though we still did the work and completed the assignment, I was still rated with 1 or 2 stars from the company. Which ultimately blocked my bacon account from applying to any other jobs for “3 days”. But it’s been over 3 days now and it’s not unlocked, nobody from bacon is answering me. SAVE YOUR TIME. Invest in yourself, apply for a real job that looks good on a resume, apply for somewhere that you feel like you can be productive at and make an impact. BACON OR ITS CUSTOMERS ARE NOT THAT PLACE.Slcut2018Version: 1.1.7
