Review:
WAHVE or “Work at Home Vintage Experts,” offers jobs in insurance, accounting and human resources. Geared towards: Individuals in their 50s and 60s, who want flexible schedules. WAHVE is primarily interested in people with contemporary experience, who would be willing to possibly take a pay cut for additional flexibility.
Applicants are interviewed, then added to a pool of ready workers who are matched to jobs as they come up. WAHVE’s corporate clients employ remote part-time and temporary positions.
WAHVE is a go-between, providing equipment to workers where required. Presumably, the arrangement allows the site to take a cut of worker wages. The precise percentage or formula is not disclosed.
Full-Time, No Benefits
Some jobs are full-time, but the positions do not come with benefits. You will likely earn considerably less than the same position with traditionally formal employment. The main complaint in worker reviews — lower pay and no benefits. Workers seem enthusiastic about the job flexibility. If you are looking for a way to phase into retirement and work in the above mentioned fields, WAHVE may be worth your time.
Other sites where you can find flexible, professional work include AccountingDepartment.com, FlexProfessionals and FreeUp.
What Users Say: From Indeed
“A word to the wise- know your financial requirements before agreeing to contract terms, as you are your best advocate. My experience is that there is no support in this area.”
“After working in a stressful office atmosphere I found WAHVE and was able to utilize my experience and knowledge in a completely stress-free environment. I no longer need to commute and find the freedom of working at home wonderful. While my current position is considered full-time I’m able to work only as many hours as necessary to complete my tasks. My WAHVE teammates are completely supportive and helpful and the WAHVE leadership checks in with me on a regular basis to make sure all is good. But there are no benefits. And the salary is considerably less than what I’m used to.”
No Stability, No Health Care
“I love my work at WAHVE. I make my own hours and I can work anywhere where there’s an internet connection. My expert skills are put to use daily which is great. But the lack of benefits is a negative. I get health care through my husband.”
“You do not know when your next assignment will start so there is no stability. The pay is not that much and there are no benefits.”
“I can start work early from my home and do not have to drive anywhere. If the assignment is out of state, like NY, I can start at 6 am my time and stop work at 2:00.”
