PLEASE SUPPORT businesses that support U.S. Workers! Thank you!
I went through an online application process as a video editor, that had sort of an interview aspect to it. They gave an editing example then asked that I estimate how much time it would take me to do a similar edit and what I would charge for it.
I estimated 2 hours (which was not even close to realistic, but I was curious to see what their response was), and $50 total cost, so $25 an hour (I said $80 / $40 in other reviews, then looked at my screenshots). After submitting that info the next screen said that the average time for their freelancers to do that type of edit was 12 hours and the average TOTAL PAY for those 12 hours was $30! That's $2.50 an hour!
Their job posting said freelancers typically average between $20 - $40 an hour! What a JOKE! I also saw something referencing that they are a USA company. Well they might be based in the US, but they are obviously catering to freelancers from other countries where you can actually pay your rent on $2.50 an hour. I don't know anywhere in the U.S. where you can afford to live on $2.50 an hour.
Needless to say I did not pursue a job with Flocksy any further than that.

Thanks for taking the time to complete onboarding and provide feedback. We appreciate it and consistently use feedback to improve the onboarding process for team members.
I checked and the branding guide file attached to that example was incorrect and should have been for a two-page branding guide, similar to the copywriting branding guide. This would take a team member a little over an hour and come out to about $20/hour. Sorry for any confusion that caused.
As covered with Tonya, these examples are intended to show the system averages provided by our actual team members, and that includes the 65% of our team members that are located right here in the US and work with us on a regular basis.
To potential clients and team members reading this, although we have a vigorous hiring process and only allow the best talent to work at Flocksy, everyone who works here is treated like family and we make sure to pay more than a fair wage as well as provide as much work as team members want.
