I've had mixed feelings about my experience with Upwork. It has been great for finding freelance gigs and the app itself is easy enough to use. However, I feel like they need to be more transparent about their payment processes. I've gone from waiting two weeks to get my first paycheck. Now today, when I am supposed to get paid. I learn about a ten day security hold. Meaning you will actually have to wait 3+ weeks to get paid. Read up on all their payment processes before you take a job!!

Constantly logs me out, takes forever to update chat streams, cancels uploads constantly, and I can't easily reach my timesheets compared to how easy it is on a computer. As a side note: the website on the computer takes forever to load (minutes) and the time tracker app crashes my computer constantly now, and it didn't use to do that before the last update.

Can't hide or archive messages. Annoying navigation and menus. Constantly logs you out. Notifications aren't reliable. Fees are extremely high. Not enough "connects", forcing you to pay them for the luxury of connecting with customers you could talk to yourself. Did I mention they changed it so that you have to "bid" and fight amongst your fellow freelancers, Vs everyone having a fair chance at applying like they used to do it? This "bidding" makes you purchase more connects. Not happy. UpFees.
