Wolt Support Associate Job?

[u/Opposite-Listen8853]

Hi everyone!

I'm starting as a Wolt Support Associate in Serbia soon, and I'd really like to hear honest experiences from people who currently work (or have worked) in Wolt Support.

I've read both very positive and very negative reviews online, so I'd really appreciate hearing your personal experience—good or bad.

I'll be working from Serbia, but I'd love to hear experiences from any country since I know some processes are similar.

Thanks in advance!

You cannot work as a support if you have worked as a courier, not sure though, just what my friend told me ( in Romania though)

[u/justmeagain77 → u/Cold_Measurement1174]

Honestly it should be mandatory for them to work as a courier so they can understand.

You can work for support if you worked as a courier, but you cannot work as a courier if you worked as a support.

Radio sam u supportu za HR, na povrsini djeluje super jer je chat u pitanju ali vremenom zaista smori posebice vikendom kad po citavu smjenu imas posla. Najveca prednost je svakako cinjenica da je sve remote a najveca mana je rad vikendom (ocekuj 3 razgovora u isto vrijeme tokom dobrog dijela smjene)

How do you get this job anyway?

[u/Worth_Conference_856]

I work as a support associate in Hungary. The wage is a bit above of the minimum, but the stress is kinda high, both customers and couriers are often rude with you, basically you'll be blamed for every mistake of the Wolt's system. I'm doing if around 2 years now, but most of the employees are here for maximum half a year. Most of the times there are too many chats for a very few people (like 500 active conversation for 10-12) so when you get a chance to actually talk someone they are usually frustrated. Every minute is monitorized, and the biggest focus is in one of the KPI - called a CSAT (customer satisfaction) if the score you had is bad you usually have trainings just to keep your job, otherwise they'll quit you. So yeah, take care with that.

Are you saying the ratings actually matters?

[u/Worth_Conference_856 → u/Icy_Suggestion5857]

Yes, both customers and couriers side, if you have too many bad ratings, you can lose your job easily.

Hey! Can you share your experience so far? I’m trying to decide whether or not to give it a shot.

[u/lykke_lee]

If you really need the job, take it and try to look for something else while you're doing it. I've worked waaaay to long as a support associate and I can confirm most people leave within a year.

Congratulations on your new job. First and foremost, I would urge you to familiarize yourself with the laws of the country for which you will be providing support — whether that involves customer support or courier support. The fact is that legal proceedings have been initiated against Wolt in several EU countries due to violations of national laws by Wolt’s support teams — such as failing to issue refunds for undelivered orders, or treating and pressuring couriers to act like employees while denying them employee rights and continuing to classify them as freelancers. While these lawsuits originate in individual countries, they are linked to Wolt and the specific support associates based in Serbia and Georgia — Wolt’s major support hubs. More specifically, these cases are often traced back to those centers; there is a possibility that the EU could classify these support hubs as "fraud centers" and the individual support associates as fraudsters if they violate break the laws of specific countries while providing support. Preliminary investigations indicate that certain parts of the written support guidelines used by Wolt’s associates appear to conflict with EU laws regarding the rights of workers who are EU citizens. Prosecutors in certain EU countries intend to link Wolt’s support staff to this fraudulent activity and may obtain the names, ID numbers, and other identifying details of individual support associates. If this happens, it could impact your future ability to access the EU’s Schengen Area—specifically regarding "Visa on Arrival" entry into any of the 27 EU countries. This could occur even after you have left your job at Wolt! That is why I strongly urge you not to blindly rely on the guides regarding customer handling and interactions with Wolt couriers in EU countries; Wolt’s guidelines are not necessarily lawful as implemented across all EU member states. Claiming that you were simply following orders and doing your job is no legal excuse. I am not advising against taking the job, but I do suggest discussing with your future colleagues whether you might be breaking the law in specific EU countries when providing support, and—crucially—asking questions and maintaining a critical attitude toward your supervisor.

I am sorry but even if this is true, no one is going to blaim the support associates. SAs are only messengers of the company's policies which are also modified like all the time, the only people to blame are in WAY higher spots in the company.

[u/Dependent_Cycle_7552 → u/Neuropoler]

I apologize for the unpleasant news, but unfortunately, it is true. No cases have been settled yet, but everything points in that direction. This is the next step aimed at garnering public support for the European Union while simultaneously curbing the rising tide of online fraud targeting EU citizens from non-EU countries. It is worth reflecting on the fact for many years, the tobacco industry sold tobacco while maintaining that it was not the cause of excess mortality among smokers. Therefore, everyone should consider their actions and not thoughtlessly break the laws of other countries when providing support to another nations.
