Pros
The previous ASDAA team was friendly and professional, prioritizing the freelancer's comfort. The previous management for the healthcare branch took great care to ensure that the freelancer did not sign any contract clauses they were uncomfortable with.
Cons
It is unacceptable for a company to not pay their freelancer for work done, regardless of the circumstances. It is even more concerning that this company believed they could trick the freelancer into providing free work by exploiting their previous successful collaboration. Additionally, the fact that they booked the freelancer on an urgent basis without going through the correct channels indicates a lack of organization and professionalism for the company. Furthermore, the company's outdated procedure for approvals and failure to acknowledge the freelancer's work with a proposal only adds to the unprofessionalism. Finally, the fact that six months have passed without payment is also concerning, as it suggests a need for more urgency and concern on the company's part. It is also inappropriate that the company asked for consultation on pricing projects and used the freelancer's CV without compensation. The company's old-fashioned payment method by cheque is also problematic, as it can lead to delays and inconvenience for the freelancer. Overall, this company's lack of professionalism, failure to pay their freelancer, and disregard for the value of their work are concerning. Therefore, freelancers should be cautious when considering working with this company.
