Pocket FM reviews

they constantly hound you about word count per day while telling you to maintain quality -they don't incentivize good work that does well on the platform with bonuses or increased pay for the writers making it, but they offer a THOUSAND DOLLAR bonuses if you refer friends to work there and those people can last more than two months. That should tell you they have retention problems due to unrealistic workloads they force on writers and are more interested in keeping bodies in chairs than treating the people who currently work their humanely. Their emphasis is on quantity and not quality, and they try to push huge amounts of work by making it sound like if it seems impossible, it's simply the writer who can't "Cut" it. It's classic tech, and it's pretty predatory. I've seen so many people leave due to burn out, so I thought someone should at least warn future writers what they're getting, because the hiring process doesn't really let you know what you're getting into beforehand.

Do you think it's weird that ALL of the 5-star reviews say the same things? And that is painfully obvious that they weren't written by native English speakers? They treat you like a full-time employee even though you're a contractor. They expect at least 8 hours of work for less than minimum wage. They'll ask you to sign a year-long contract and then terminate it without warning, even though there's a 15-day notice period in the contract. The higher-ups have delusions of grandeur like they'll be the next Hulu. Not with the absolute trash content they put out—misogynist, racist, classist garbage with no substance. It's all rape and abuse and toxicity and weird 4-chan incel wish-fulfillment. India-side management all but tells you to just rip off popular stories that are kind of like the one you're working on. Filter reviews by "Contract" and you'll get a decent idea of how bad this company is. Don't expect to get paid on time, either.
