Modsy Reviews

I’m so confused where to even begin. It felt a little like a socialist system where they tell you all good things when in reality things are pretty terrible. I had top ratings and was loving my job. We hear all the news of tons of volume to come and how the company is doing amazing. I received an email out of the blue saying they had “over-hired” and therefore needed to let some people go and gave a 2 week termination notice. The notice was appreciated because many colleagues before me were laid off with no notice at all - however they can’t explain why. Just that they are a “start-up” who made bad hiring decisions? It’s a terrible excuse. Why in the world would you hire a few hundred people to pay off 3/4 of them within 3 to 6 months??? They simply do not care about you. I know you think I’m just mad because I’m losing my job - but honestly I hope this review makes someone stop and think before investing themselves. They organized this 2020 Modsy Meet Up where all the remote workers could get together to socialize.... Everyone was invited and encouraged to go. Many people from out of state bought plane tickets and made travel plans. 2 weeks before the event they cancelled it and said “oh we didn’t realize we couldn’t afford this”. Are those the kind of people you want to entrust your income with?

1. Their job advertisements make it look like you can charge hourly but that is misleading. You get paid $51 for a project which includes video call with customer, emails, unlimited messaging and two sets of layouts and two designs. People will go around their entire room during video calls and have a long list of things they want you to do. Customers need to understand that for $50 a pop that the designer is getting paid, an instagram worthy space is not happening. 2) Commission is really low, if you get paid at all. 0.5% or 0.7% for their own line of products. That is seriously underpaying designers given their profit margin for their own products. 3) They overhire and then fire. There is no job security. Every few months they find new ways to cut designer pay and make timelines by which you need to hand in work shorter. It is very demotivating to work here and you constantly feel taken advantage of.
