I am currently an independent contractor with LiveOps. I understand the struggle to find legit work from home jobs and I am writing this article to help others. So, here is my take on LiveOps...
First thing to note is that with LiveOps you are an independent contractor which means that you do not work for them which means that the pay is not guaranteed. I shall repeat this so we can all soak this statement in. THE PAY IS NOT NOT NOT GUARANTEED. With that being said, lets go to the beginning of my journey.
Okay, so I applied with LiveOps after being semi-fired from West At Home (which is another story), and around four or five days later, my application was accepted. This initially suprised me due to the fact that other work at home companies such as alpine access, west, and working solutions took a lot longer to accept my application. So, I submitted the necessary amount for the background check which was I believe, fifty dollars? I could be wrong. Then I started training. UGH.
Training with LiveOps was my first major issue with them. It is extensive and not one second of your time is paid for. Unlike other work from home companies, it is completely paid for. I received 100 dollars for training for west at home that wasn't even half way completed. So this was frustrating to me as the training took three - four days to complete. And this was me being extremely diligent because I needed money. For someone else it could have easily took seven to ten days.
Eventually, I was all completed with training and was required to take fifteen "training" calls. This was great! There was always green slots which meant time available for me train. These calls went smoothly and I completed the fifteen calls in 4 working slots which translates to two hours of working time. Then, this is where things start being rocky. After I received confirmation that I successfully completed those calls, I happily go the schedule to begin my official work....
Which brings me to my last and final problem with LiveOps. There are no hours. I WISH I would have known this before I became hired by them because I would have not even accepted it. I've wasted money, time, and energy with LiveOps. When adding the background check fee, monthly landline phone bill, internet bill (It has to be hardwired), and the lack of available work - you end up with a pretty fine deficit. What makes me so sad is that I needed this job badly and I did extensive research throughout every Work At Home Mom Forum and various blogs but they failed to tell me this (mainly due to the outdated nature of their post)
All in all, technically LiveOps is a scam. The most green I ever see on the schedule is from 2am -3am on the Fourth of July. And that is IT. I was more than willing to accept the fact that you have work your way up to get more hours but how can you do that if there are no hours to begin with? Stay far away from LiveOps. I wish this article was around when I was researching the company so hopefully I can help someone from this article.
