SpotHopper

I know some people really enjoy working for SpotHopper, unfortunately, I am not one of those people. In my experience, the managers constantly micromanaged, but almost never offered any actually helpful feedback. I never once felt supported by anyone let alone my managers. My day to day was constantly being filled with last minute hour long meetings and trainings where the managers would only ever give contradicting feedback compared to what they said in the previous meeting (ie, telling us to do XYZ, but then the next day say "I don't know why you're doing XYZ when you should be doing ABC instead". But that would happen every single day). Aside from non supportive management, the customer base is also incredibly difficult to work with and typically not professional, but that's not SpotHopper's fault really. However, the way we are trained is to be extremely pushy with customers and basically "don't ever take no for an answer". The managers also very clearly played favorites, giving the best leads only to certain people and leaving the scraps for the "not favorites".  We were also expected to work the same small leads lists that were the leftovers from the "favorites" for months on end with no break or change up. And expected us to make sales solely from these tired lists.In my opinion, SpotHopper is also incredibly cheap. Even though we all work remote for the most part, I was not provided with a work computer, set up, phone, or even a work phone number. I had to use my personal laptop and phone with my personal cell phone number to make calls to customers. This lead my PERSONAL phone number to be marked as spam. The only positive to this company that I experienced was the amount of work / life balance I had. Other than that, I woke up every single day stressed out about work and felt no support. 

Oh where to even start about Spothopper, this company is truly to good to be true. 

I started just over 2 years ago as a sales intern, and within two years I went from a part time hourly intern with no degree, to a full time Account Executive with a 6 figure OTE. They ALWAYS promote from within, and if you are looking for a really fun company to spring board your career, this is the place to be. 

The leadership here is not only fun and kind but amazingly supportive and intelligent. Hard work and willingness to learn are rewarded above all else and everyone at Spothopper loves to help each other succeed. If you've worked in Sales before, you know all too well how rare good leadership can be, and this company is truly the gold standard. 

Spothopper is also an AMAZING product. Our customers LOVE us and love the revenue we bring in for them. I never thought I would have a sales job where 99 percent of clients retain to the next year, but low and behold Spothopper once again exceeded my expectations. 

To concluded this company is amazing, the employees and management are amazing, and the product is amazing. AND you get to work with restaurants, bars, brewery's, nightclubs, etc. Whats more fun than that? 

Spothopper changed my life just like it has for thousands of restaurant owners, and I am blessed and happy to be apart of such an amazing team. 

I worked with SpotHopper as a freelance videographer and photographer. I appreciated working with several members of the team and respect the opportunity to take on projects with them. That said, I want to offer an honest perspective for other freelancers considering this type of work.

In my experience, the pay was very low compared to the amount of time, professional equipment, and quality of work that was expected. Shoots often lacked proper preparation on the restaurant side, which led to rushed environments and made it difficult to deliver the level of quality the company expects. Additionally, their policy around reduced pay for late submissions — even when certain delays were out of the freelancer’s control — created added pressure and risk.

When I raised these concerns, about the dock to pay for delayed delivered work the responses I received were short and the issues were not meaningfully addressed. As a result, I ended up spending more time and money on projects than they were ultimately worth.

I respect SpotHopper’s mission and some of the individuals I worked with directly. However, I would advise other freelancers to go in with very clear expectations on pay, timelines, and project conditions. In my opinion, this arrangement was not a sustainable or freelancer-friendly opportunity.


I can genuinely say that my job at SpotHopper is the best one I have ever had( not one of the best; THE best). I work several jobs at a time and the biggest thing I look for in a job outside of my main field is flexibility because there is no way I can make any job work if they are not flexible, just because of the nature of the other work I do; changing schedules very often. On top of being SUPER flexible, SpotHopper has given me more life skills than any other job I have ever had and the pay is extremely reliable and timely, like clockwork. I have learned so much about business, sales tactics, the food industry and people skills in general. Another important thing worth mentioning is the positive work environment. Everyone in the office is upbeat, supportive and ALWAYS laughing. I think they do a wonderful job at bringing people onto the team who not only get the job done well and want to succeed, but have great attitudes. As an employee, I really appreciate that. Not to mention casual dress; I can show up in my snuggie or my best dress. This job was a definite game changer for me and I highly recommend coming in, grabbing a bubbly water and doing an interview! 😌

This job has been really great and beneficial as my first job outside of food service, and it has been a great stepping stone for establishing a workplace identity. This job is hard, but it is engaging. I find that there is an emphasis on being myself, as I am engaging with potential customers all day on the phone. This job does require outgoing people, you have to be able to roll with the punches and think on your feet. The management is wonderful, the training period at the start of your time is used to really get you feeling prepared and confident. The company is still pretty small, so you work in close quarters with your bosses. that being said, they are really great. This job has extremely flexible hours and you don't work on weekends. The pay is really quite good, so I am able to maintain being a fulltime student and have a job!  Overall my time with SpotHopper has been really great, and I would recommend it to anybody ready to get started working in a more professional environment with a lot of cool people.

I've been in outside sales for 10+ years, and I can truly say I love my job. My direct boss is someone I feel completely comfortable talking to, and I feel a genuine sense of care for my well-being from her. My work/life harmony is perfect, and it's a position where you get what you give- as are ALL sales positions. Some changes have been made with structure and management in the last year, and absolutely for the better. This rocket ship company listens to what it's employees need, and delivers. The opportunity for increases in pay are unmatched, in my opinion. 
If I had one critique, it would be the archaic lack of a maternity/paternity plan. In 2023, it's unreasonable to not pay an employee for family leave to advance our population. I know we're a young company, and hopefully this is a change that is made soon, as the bulk of our sales force is in their reproductive years. 
Overall, INCREDIBLE company that I am proud daily to work for. 

I've worked for many companies, under many mgmt styles and SpotHopper is hands down the absolute best! I initially found them on Indeed and did all the "research" I could before accepting the position. I saw mixed reviews and, to this day, have no idea why anyone wouldn't absolutely LOVE working for SpotHopper.

Employees are truly valued, mgmt is knowledgeable and coaches in a thoughtful manner to ensure growth for all involved. This company is incredible and I'm so grateful to be on the team. 

If you're on the fence, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. I'll be easy to find - I'm the rep in KC and will talk to anyone about why I believe SpotHopper is the perfect place for dedicated, hard working job seekers who want to be truly valued and enjoy massive growth opportunities!

SpotHopper is a company that is filled with AMAZING individuals that help you to achieve your goals within the company each day. The workspace is upbeat and productive with coworkers constantly helping each other out with questions and cheering each other on when succeeding in individual and office-wide goals. Even my coworkers that aren't based out of the office, I have a great professional relationship with. The company is the true definition of TEAM!! I have had great success working here for a year now and have always had a listening ear with any question I have and the help needed to succeed. At SpotHopper there is immense room to grow and take on new roles as you progress in the company and great incentives to push yourself to be your best. They are EXTREMELY flexible with weekly schedules. I highly recommend applying for SpotHopper and getting started today!! 

Overall, working at Spothopper has been amazing. I started out as an intern about 10 months ago and now I am a couple weeks away from being in the field as a sales rep! From their progression paths, to the training and management, I personally think it defeats any other company. If you are debating on working here or some other corporate job, just stop right here and choose Spothopper, trust me. The freedom of this job truly is one of a kind - never in my life did I feel so 'free' and able to do my own thing, while of course, crushing quota and establishing wonderful relationships with my managers, co-workers, other sales reps, and bar owners themselves. Again, excellent company to work for and I advise whoever is reading this to apply right now before it gets too late!!!

I really enjoy working at Spothopper. I can literally see the company grow in front of my eyes month after month. I've only been here for 8 months or so and I have been able to grow within the company already. They love people who apply themselves and ask about growth. So many people have been hired since working here. Rarely, rarely see people quit. Firing is uncommon, but if performance is not up to par it happens. Super supportive managers who want you to succeed and give you the advice and tools to help you do so. You learn lots of sales, communication, and people skills in this role. Environment and culture is great with potlucks, incentives, and outings. I love helping local restaurants succeed!
