Likelihood to Recommend If you have an emergency that requires a tech, and you don't have the resources in-house, then it's good to be able to call on these guys. I would never use my affiliation with them as a reason to say "we provide nationwide onsite services" because the techs, in the end, don't answer to you and may not work to your standards. It's definitely a band-aid last-resort, and you should let your clients know if you intend to use them.
Read full review WorkWave Service is great for a company that can integrate it with their software for credit card processing. I feel that it can work for companies of any size. However, finding individual transactions is time-consuming. If you are a company that will need to search for transactions, it is not as easy as putting in search criteria. You have to select a date range then search through all transactions for that range, you can sort, but it can still take some time. WorkWave Service handles our workload very well and we have minimal issues with the product and the customer service.
Read full review Pros Offers technicians from a large geographical area (most major cities, many smaller cities, a limited international selection). Creating competition - Mixed bag with this one depends on your outlook. Are you in favor of finding the person who will work for bottom dollar? I'll leave that aspect for your personal view. Project Tracking: While I should likely have listed this first and I will say they do a better job than most at this it could use some key upgrades. 1099 filings and fiscal tracking -- They got this much down pat gotta admit. Read full review Sends timely reporting Responsive troubleshooting team Uses feedback to improve product Read full review Cons Their mobile platform is not that great. Truthfully, there are some jobs viewable on the mobile under WorkFeed that I cannot apply to because it requires viewing the job from the full website. If a job has requirements such as uploading GL insurance, background check, or drug test in order to apply for the job, then it should not be viewable at all for the technician who doesn't qualify. Recently it keeps providing available jobs that are hours away which makes it difficult because when I have to counter, I usually don't get the job because I have to cover the 2-4 hours of driving each way. In short, they need to only list jobs that you are truly qualified to do within the proper distance.

There are several canned responses that all resources receive when contacting WM support that you are assured will leave you feeling crushed, disheartened and even as if you are dealing with a Bot. The responses to posts in the support forum were so egregious that unrelated parties would read the posts and feel compelled to chide the WM support rep for inhuman indifference that sickened them. The support by management to its users is comical at best and nearly criminal at worst. This is justified by their very upfront belief that WM is only software and nothing more. Its some misguided attempt to take a company to a purely 1 and 0 mentality that is backfiring on a massive scale. This will likely become the story of legend in business schools worldwide as its a thinking I have seen no other corporation embody so single mindedly that they refuse to view its carnage in its wake.

Read full review Return on Investment Positively, we can respond to out of state client emergencies with this service. We actually don't make that much money on a call, it's negligible, so the ability to call them is really the selling point. It can help get contracts and footholds elsewhere, but it won't by itself generate much income if any.
