Why did you start working for Upshift?
I was at work and one of my coworkers was talking about how awesome Upshift was. I hadn’t heard of Upshift before but had some experience working on apps so I submitted my application. I onboarded at the end of 2021 and have been picking up shifts ever since.
What do you do outside of Upshift?
When I do take time off, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids. My kids are 13 and 16 so they’re always on the move keeping us busy. We enjoy doing different outdoor activities as a family like fishing, going to the beach or visiting one of the water parks near us. Houston gets incredibly hot during the summer so outdoor activities involving water are a priority.
“I have a full-time job but with Upshift’s flexibility I am able to work nights or on the weekends.”
Do you have any advice for new Upshifters?
It’s really important to understand that you are making a commitment when you confirm these shifts. You should only apply to shifts that you are interested in working and only confirm shifts that you can definitely attend. The business and other team members at these shifts are counting on you to show up when you commit to a shift.
What have been your favorite shifts so far?
I have a full-time job during the week so most of the shifts I pick up are at night or on the weekends. Most of my shifts have been cashier positions at the Toyota Center. I really enjoy it there because there is always a cool event going on while you’re working. Whether that’s a Rockets game or a concert, the energy and atmosphere are always top notch there. That makes the work more enjoyable and the time goes by much faster.
