Pros
The onboarding day was organised and fast however it's all downhill from there
Cons
Approval for my online profile took 2 months, I am a citizen and have Degree in Hospitality with 16yrs experience in high profile venues and decided to sign up in Sidekicker as a form of additional income. What they dont mention on their Ads is that you have to "apply" for every shift and starting out can take time to get shifts because you're competing against other sidekickers who have been doing longer shifts, eventhough I have been in the industry for a long time. So dilligently I had my profile set to go in October anticipating that it may take a while before I can get decent shifts. After 2 weeks of waiting for approval, I emailed them and mentioned that they're still reviewing it, they had promised approval of 48hrs. After I didnt hear back for another 1 week, I decided not to pursue it. Then my profile got approved just recently and its already December, 2 months after I had sent it for review. Overall, if you're looking for agency shifts you're better off at companies like Spotless and Hotel Staff. What sold me at first with Sidekicker is the convenience part and but its all empty promises
