Pros

I can work (almost) whenever I want to. There are times where there aren't a lot of tasks to work on, but this also depends on the skills you have to offer. I have worked for Fancy Hands for almost 8 years. I have paid my bills with money left over. I have also worked very minimally when I work other jobs. I am a mentor, someone who proof reads assistants work. I can mentor here and there and put a couple extra bucks in my pocket.

Cons

I really cannot think of a con so to say. This work is as easy as making an appointment all the way to full blown research and website designs.

Pros

I loved my time at Fancy Hands. Both Ted and Josh were supportive and responsible for creating a platform that allowed entrepreneurs to succeed or fail on their own terms.

Cons

Confined by various state regs and laws that varied from state to state.

Pros

The flexibility that we have to work from home.

Cons

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 The platform is ridiculously outdated, and it feels like the company is stuck in 2005 while expecting assistants to work for pennies.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!
