Pros

I loved working for Keen, I loved all the wonderful clients I attracted, I loved that I made money, and I loved that I made money FOR Keen in the process. That's how prosperity works, everyone wins. So I don't understand how or why 3 weeks ago my account was suddenly canceled. I worked every day, 7 days a week, holidays too. My clients loved me, 100% client satisfaction rate and repeat clientele from my accuracy. I was always listed within the top 5 advisors, WITHOUT paying to bid. I'm a legit psychic and customers knew it. So did Keen, otherwise I wouldn't have been that high in the listings. Customer service is nice, but not helpful. I need to talk to a person in upper management. And Playfair, did not seem to play very fair here.

Cons

Since May 2016, major IT issues started. Constant connection issues, calling Keen for help was not the same, must have new employees who were not familiar with what to do. The "Playfair" department, also does not know what they are doing. I believe my account was canceled out of error, as I was bringing in high end clients, generated 14-20K per mth. I know for a fact 70% of their advisors do not bring this to Keen. Randomly canceling the account of a person making your company money, AND clients happy and coming back, makes no sense. And to not be able to talk to a person from Keen is ridiculous. I got robot email responses. There has to be some kind of better management system there, a person who understands the role of an ADVISOR, their asset to the company, ect. Fixing the office staff will help fix the IT issues and complaint issues. When the people who work in the office do not understand, nothing gets done the right way.

Pros

Clients loved me, and I enjoyed helping people. They paid out as expected.

Cons

They suddenly terminated my contract for no reason. I consistently maintained 5-star ratings throughout all 5 years I worked on their platform. I conducted over 1,700 readings and maintained performance metrics that showed I was in their good range, despite their metrics being confusing to understand. They rank advisors low in the listings because they want advisors to pay to be ranked higher. The pay was low, with Keen taking 60% of what clients paid and only paying advisors 40%. Their values are poor, and they do not treat advisors well. They wanted advisors to create a cliffhanger to keep clients coming back, which I refused to do. They want clients to become addicted, and when someone is addicted, advisors cannot give guidance on how to improve their situation, or the Play Fair people will send a warning email to the advisor. There were technical issues with the system not always working properly, especially with the site freezing and advisors being unable to answer to accept a chat session. They always made me feel undervalued, and threatened me when I emailed a client extra information after their session was over to finish helping them. There is deception present among the Play Fair people, a lack of support, and a failure to value the advisors who are gifted and have a big following of clients. While I tried to stay out of what the company is doing so I could focus on clients, it was a horrible experience every time they wanted us to keep clients hooked. I would never recommend Keen to anyone.
