VERY useful for small companies where one person does an entire job/task. May be less useful for larger companies, as it would be difficult to maintain, and there are usually teams to cover the slack. Also good for tech purposes. Our tech people constantly create Guru cards in order to help us learn to do back-end things.

For major "national" work often their financial compensation is in line. But for other generally smaller jobs I'm not sure it's a fair dollar amount. I'm not sure this is due to the client involved or a policy of Voices.

The segmentation of information into Collections, boards and individual cards allows you to keep a good control and organization of information contained within.
An add-on app for Slack and a Chrome extension mean you don't even need to have the Guru.com site open to still be able to access all of your stored information.
The ability to allow some or all users to create & edit cards adds value and strengthens the team collaboration.

I'm not sure I'm given every fair chance at being booked for the various jobs for which I audition.
The amount given for payment for each job is mysterious. Often the same job from other sites is considerably higher there. I wonder if I'm being offered the amount I should be in a fair market.
Quite often the amount offered for long form jobs is way below industry standards.

I use both Voices and Voice 123. Initially i got more bookings with Voice. Now, I'm liking Voice 123 better. It's more transparent and offers much higher payments for voice acting work.

Initially, the income and opportunity for increased income seemed great. Lately the paid jobs I've received has fallen way off. This is happening as I'm getting a lot better as a voice actor. It doesn't make sense. It's like Voices is somehow keeping me from getting gigs through their service.
Often over the years I've been upsold to change to their more expensive plans. I've tried them with NO discernible improvement with opportunities for me.
I'm going to have to get better ROI in the near future or I won't be continuing my subscription.
