Vantaggi

It is very interesting work. You can usually find something to do. Clients are usually pretty agreeable. Pay every two weeks. You get to pick the tasks that you work on and you can see the details of the job before you accept. You are paid per credit. This means that the client has offered a certain amount for the job. Each credit is worth 20 minutes worth of work. Some clients offer multiple credits for a single job, but it all works out to those 20 minute increments. Pay for each credit averages from $3-$6 from what I've seen in the few months that I've been there, but it could go higher or lower, I suppose. Obviously the cost on the client side is higher.

Svantaggi

If a client responds to a job and you don't see it right away, you can lose all the earnings for the job. This means that you constantly have to be on top of any emails from Fancy Hands. You can't schedule blocks of time off because the client can respond at any time. I've had jobs taken away from me because, after I did all the work and closed out of the job, the client responded with the word "thanks". I didn't see it and eight hours later (I had gone on vacation and had specifically not accepted any new jobs and finished all of my current tasks) all the credits I had earned were gone. Sometimes the supervisors will correct this, but some get crabby about it. Also, it took WEEKS after I was accepted to work at Fancy Hands for me to actually be set up to work and start accepting tasks.

Vantaggi

The flexibility that we have to work from home.

Svantaggi

Fancy Hands is long overdue for a complete overhaul. The platform is ridiculously outdated, and it feels like the company is stuck in 2005 while expecting assistants to work for pennies. They charge clients $35/hour but only pay assistants a measly $3 per 20-minute task—that’s not just unfair, it’s exploitative. To make matters worse, the so-called "mentors" are completely unhelpful, constantly sending back tasks for no good reason, creating unnecessary frustration and wasted time. Meanwhile, the owners sit back and collect profits from our hard work, refusing to fairly compensate the people actually keeping this platform running. At the very least, tasks should be $5 per 20 minutes to reflect the actual effort required. Right now, this is nothing more than a digital sweatshop, and it’s no surprise that clients are leaving. If Fancy Hands wants to survive in 2025, it needs to pay fairly, modernize the platform, and fix the broken task review system. Until then, workers beware!
