Assistant General Manager (Looking for sideJob)
Since joining GigPro I have been to some amazing restaurants with amazing chefs and restaurant teams! The overall process is fantastic. Just please remember to do your orientation upon applying and to input all your experiences. At first I wasn’t getting any gigs and found out from the chat , (that I didn’t have an orientation or fill out my experience to the best of my ability).
Since I finished all the requirements, I’m now getting gigs. The restaurants are really professional and the pay is even better. Now I will be able to earn enough money in my off days to save up for a home! Thank you for the opportunity at Gigpro!Show lessBeazko
Gigpro’s and gigcons.
The convenience of having immediate working opportunities in a field that you are skilled in cannot be stressed enough. You fill out an application and then check regularly to see what is available in your area. Putting in for the job does not necessarily mean that you will get it, but you are in front of the employer with a simple click.
The catch to this app is the time clock feature which does not work. First, I am ex-military, so I show up early to jobs. Sometimes a full thirty minutes. You will not be paid for this extra time. In fact, because the clock does not allow you to clock in early it won’t be until lunch break that you even have an opportunity to look at your phone again. You are there to work after all, and holding your when you should be working is unprofessional.
Nonetheless, I believe in the people who have crafted this excellent app. This con will be addressed eventually. I look forward to the opportunities that it provides me. Decent pay to work with great people.Show lessNeo Neumonic
Not as easy as it seems
It took me over a month to get my first gig booked, the gig was approved for me only 40 minutes before the event began. I’ve had one event so far, I have applied to probably 20. I completed my orientation and have a solid profile. I had two events booked for this week yesterday Tuesday the 14th and today, Wednesday the 15th. Tuesday a little more than two hours before the gig was to begin, the property just canceled it. Following that I had an emergency for today and canceled the gig just under 24 hours. I gave a thorough reason as to why I was missing it. It was an actual serious emergency involving one of my children. Gigpro sent me a message stating that my profile had been flagged for a call out. I think it is unfair that a business can confirm an event, have you counting on the funds from that event, and then cancel it two hours before your start time. Then to follow up with more stringent rules for the workers on the app, if you have a bona fide emergency, you’re penalized for it even though you give way more notice than the business before canceling. It’s a good platform if you can actually be selected for work. I haven’t had the experience I was expectingShow lessStephanie70227
Best gig app I have ever used
Gig pro changed my life. I am truly thankful for that person who came up with the idea to create this app. It is so convenient and easy to use. I have never had an issue with getting paid, which is the main reason my most people do gigs. I also got lots of experience and met new people, I also received job opportunities. I dont think it could get any better than this. I hope they continue to expand and make improvements if necessary, but other than that, I have nothing to complain about. Im just happy to be a Pro on Gig pro.Show lessMartial X
Uploading ID is impossible!!!!
Hi. I downloaded this app last September when I was desperate for work. Unfortunately, I was never able to upload my photo ID. I uninstalled the app, and now, months later reinstalled the app hoping to get better results. This time, I attempted to use my passport but am still unable for the app to take a photo of my U.S. passport to upload so that I may get some quick gigs to earn money while I am beginning a new job and having to wait on a paycheck. My plan was to fill in some gigs from GigPro to help me out with gas and parking costs while I await my pay from my new job. I am really feeling hopeless unless I can get something going with a different app. There were several jobs listed on your site that I am capable of doing and the idea seemed like a great solution for me. Too bad I cannot do much with it.Show lessnoclue113256899966
My opinion.
I worked with gig pro for a while and it was good at first but, I’ve noticed the establishments that use gig pro do not train well when you’re working for them. Any issues that you have with the establishments if you take it up with gig pro they do not address them correctly and instead penalize you. Not sure why I cannot complain about a issue I had with an gig I worked and still get penalized for my opinion. What’s the point of asking me to rate my experience with the job? I hope in the new future gig pro works on their company to make it fair to all individuals who are just trying to reach a goal and not be interrupted by suspension, termination and etc etc.Show lesspwussy sskkie
Not a very good platform
I would stick with more popular apps like Instawork and QWICK. I’ve been on the platform for a month and I have over two decades of hospitality experience. I have not been chosen for any jobs and often times I wait until an hour before a gig to find out they don’t need me or maybe they were trying o use this as a means for a back up.
Either way, stick with apps that give you the shift when you click it. These business are using GigPro for backup staff in case their own don’t show up. Is that business you want to work with? Why aren’t their staff showing up?
Again, stay away. Far better out there and won’t waste your time.Show lessZuko917
Gigpro
The actual platform is a great opportunity. Be prepared tho that a lot of the restaurants you will be working at are understaffed and/or the other gig workers you work with are only there to collect money and not work. I guess that’s restaurant life to begin with but please be one of the ones that come to help.
Also, one day a restaurant you enjoy working at will have gigs then the next thing you know they no longer are available.
Otherwise this is a five-star experience.Show lessAndyDTench
GigNo
I’ve been on the platform for a year now and have been hired for exactly ZERO gigs. This is despite having over ten years experience in F&B and over 15 years behind the bar. I am also a mixologist. The problem is you’re applying for a gig with God knows how many others and long time GigPro workers are PRIORITIZED (no matter their skill set) when shifts are sent out and accepted meaning when people like me, who have never gotten on a gig, try to apply we are rejected for someone who’s been on longer. Doesn’t matter if they are the best for the position, they just have seniority. So after a year of applying for and being rejected I give up. I have been very successful on InstaWork simply because of you accept a Gig it’s yours. You’re not applying for the same gig with 120 other people.Show lessIssaKinza!
It’s convenient
I’ll say this, when I first started using this app it was amazing. Easily apply for jobs, show up, work, get paid. As the season went on, I came across some crappy companies who had no clue how to use the app. The 24 hour cancellation policy is not fair at all. Not even a real job will penalize you for calling off for emergency’s, accidents, illness, etc. so if you wake up sick, and work around food, be prepared to still go into work! THEY DON’T CARE! And this new update is absolutely garbage. They continuously message you over & over 1 hour before your shift, 15 minutes before your shift, etc. this is brand new and very annoying. They’ll even text you the day of your shift to make sure you’re going, but don’t even have a customer service phone number to be able reach someone for support. I can’t turn off the push notifications because I like to be the first to know about gigs, but please stop with the excessive notifications.Show lessKris Hilton
