I had high quality scores and completely met the requirements listed for an incentive period in October. After not being paid, I inquired with their customer service platform. I was drug along for almost 2 months with no resolution. Ironically, the more questions I asked about the platform and missing payments I began to be "removed" from projects, even though my quality ratings remained a 5/5. After asking one more time about payment, I was told I did not meet the quality standards for the incentive. Odd since my rating remains the highest rating of all.

I spent a weekend going through the training on starting on their Claims tasking. I'm an electrical engineer and MBA with 30 years experience. This was the worst written interface to get productivity you could possibly create. It's as if they created the interface to intentionally not get results? Makes no sense. I don't recommend them for anyone trying to do a side gig. They have 0 support. I could have had a high school freshman write the interface they've created. Just a big waste of time.

I completed about 12 writing assignments for their initial assessment. These were complex writing tasks and required many hours to complete. As soon as I submitted all the work, I received an email within 10 minutes stating that my work was unacceptable. There is no way possible that a live human could read and evaluate all 12 writing assignments in that short time. I am a certified secondary English teacher and hold advanced degrees. I have written professionally for years. I do not recommend Remote Tasks to anyone.

I signed up and was immediately approved, however, they said I failed my English Exam, which was quite surprising. I tried reaching out to the emails that were provided and I never received a single response. Support response is a bot response. Not impressed at all!

Awful!
December 1, 2023

I have worked with this company for a few weeks, and for a while, it was fine. I worked a full-time job while working with them part-time. I made about $70 before they cut half of the team I was apart of without warning. I asked multiple people that were considered higher-ups for more details as of why, but never received a straightforward answer.

I have also finished two assessments for extra work, one only paying cents, the other was never acknowledged. They were advertising $50 for that particular assessment, but I was given nothing for completing and passing it. Instead, I was given another assessment to do. They are just wasting people's time and should be avoided at all costs. Please, do not waste your time.

Thieves
January 2, 2024

They always wait you to work for them then on Wednesday (the day they pay)they suspend your account. They will wait you work for them then on pay day close your account. Don't work for these people. They are day light robbers.

Worst Website Ever
February 23, 2024

The TSMs and admins on the Slack channels are zero help. They're all stuck up and act like they can't do their jobs and help you. They'll remove you from projects without explanation and just don't actually care about the people they work with. If you're looking for stable income, better to pursue a job that actually has reliable support and not those people.

This is such a frustrating experience. Everything evolves around support tickets, which NEVER, EVER get addressed or resolved. It's a circle of incompetency and a total waste of energy. The so-called zen support help is non-existent. They acknowledge your request and this is all that ever happens. So inefficient, so bottle-necked it is not worth the aggravation!

They will try to get as much free work off you as they "evaluate" you then just kick you off the platform. You can score the highest possible and it will not be enough. STAY AWAY. Don't give them free work.

This site has outdated instructions and no way to get the training they say you need as you get a 404 error on almost every page. There is no way to do the onboarding training they say you need, the email addresses given are invalid, and a bot answers everything. Not a human. They seem aware of all the bugs, but do nothing to fix them so don't waste your time.

Timed writing tasks that have very strict guidelines. Don't expect to point out AI grammar mistakes, as it must be how they want it.

I read a task that repeatedly used the words also and additionally, 8 times in one paragraph. I stated the paragraph was not perfect, and I got a ding on accuracy. Another time I prized creativity over structure, and got kicked off the project. Do not recommend.

I took the tests and was added as a writer and only then did I google them. Based on lots of awful reviews I decided not to work with them. I have asked them seven times over three weeks to remove me from their files. I still keep getting Team emails and Slack conversation bits. The emails and Slack conversations are all about things not working as they are supposed to. Jeez! Beware these guys!

Don't Do Free Work

Remotasks will continuously make you do unpaid training without assigning you to a project. They are using the writing you provide for free human reinforcement learning.

There's just not enough tasks to go around. They tell you you can make $1000 week but I only made about $40. The support is also nonexistent. If something goes wrong with your account (if you get locked out and can't sign back in or you're having issues receiving payments), the chances of you ever hearing back from a Support representative are slim to none. I would keep doing tasks on this site if the support team wasn't so unprofessional but I'm sure there are better opportunities elsewhere!

I knew it sounded too good to be true. But I signed up and did work for them anyway. Unfortunately, my gut was was right. This company promised to pay me $50 after I complete the screening assessment. But they didn't fulfil their end of the bargain. They basically waisted my time. I'm pissed!

Scam task site
January 19, 2023

Seemed legit at first when you sign up and start to "task". They'll even pay you like they said they would according to their website...when you earn less than $100. The minute you start to task a lot and earn your "bonus", they'll "ban" your account for no reason and you won't be allowed to log back in. They won't even pay you for what is still owed to you for your work. So, work for this company if you want/like to just make a little bit of gas money for the week (if your tank takes less than $100, that is). But some advice, don't work too much or too hard, because you won't be compensated for it. Reaching out to support does nothing. They'll tell you to create a ticket, which then doesn't get answered, but will just be marked "solved". So all in all, just skip trying them. Not worth your time. Especially just getting $.01-$.04 per task.

From the surface, this appears to be reasonably well structured as a remote and highly flexible work option that in many cases can utilize higher-level areas of knowledge or skills. The reality I saw through working with them for 3 months was widespread chaos, many irregularities in people getting paid as agreed at the agreed time, highly unpredictable availability of work in some of the projects, and many people being frozen or banned completely because of things like a very inaccurate algorithm deciding they had used AI to help with their task, or a spam reviewer incorrectly marking down their work, leading to low scores and automatic removal from a project or even the whole platform.

If you want to do research for a novel on the dystopian future where robots are our bosses, this would be a great opportunity. If you are simply curious and have zero actual need for the money or for it being a remotely reliable source of income, and won't really care if you get booted either temporarily or permanently for incorrect and robot-produced allegations, it could be worth checking it out. Other than that, based on reading the experiences of many coworkers in multiple different projects via Slack channels and my own experiences, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone at this time.

Site seemed promising upon signup, but a few weeks in and everything went to hell. Bonuses were promised, but not delivered. They even stopped paying for work that was done. You get no responses from admins other than they don't know and have you spoken to another admin about your problem. Most people sit there all day with empty queues. I recommend going for another company if you want some side gig work. This company treats the workers like crap.

You can make decent money if your not sitting in EQ all the time. Bonuses are like pulling teeth to get them laid out people have been waiting for weeks to get them. Then there is the pay issues you may get paid on time but it's never the correct amount. If TSMs do acknowledge you they skirt around your question and majority of the time they will either lie to you or ignore you. They tell you there are more tasks gonna be loaded that night and nothing. If you bring up theses issues your threaded with being disabled off the project. Your not even allowed to DM a tsm unless they tell you that you can. Their favorite saying is that its gig work. Well not for them they get paid whether people are tasking or not
