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!
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.
I keep seeing posts that describe Remotasks as a company that doesn't give support, as well as saying that they cut you lose with no warning.
I've also noticed that every negative post about them has major grammatical errors, such as run-on sentences, poor punctuation, and formatting.
I do not possess a degree in anything, much less english lit. But I seem to maintain a 5/5 quality score. And I'm on two projects at one time with endless tasks it seems. I got promoted to elite tasks today, it comes with a chance to be promoted to reviewer.
Ive made over $500.00 in 3 days on tasks. This does not including bonuses. My pending payment says $641.31
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.
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.
I have got just deception of it, and waste of time almost forget it, don't try it, it's a dirty scam, didn't get any money of it, I have complete onboarding and passed several exams but the queue is always empty for any reason, now I now why it has those reviews, it really sucks.
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!
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!
1. They make you go through 40-minute long courses when you are already assigned to a project, but you can easily have an empty queue after taking the course, what was the point then? Not only you were already doing the tasks which means you already did an initial course and they are making you take another long course, but on top of that it was all for nothing as there are no more tasks.
2. Even though is not a steady job and they very often have an empty queue, the TMs will reach out if you don't put in the hours you are supposed to for the project and will even tell you in order to keep your profile and not be downgraded you need to put in the hours, which you agreed to it initially but why would you do that if you don't have tasks for me? How am I supposed to guess when there are tasks?
3. If you stop logging in for 1 week+, the courses stack up, so in order to get back on, you will most likely spend half a day taking courses for projects that don't even exist anymore, so of course there are no tasks by the time you are done
4. Many many times I've encountered payment issues, being mistakenly removed "but nothing they can do as the algorithm did it",, server errors, tickets taking months so be resolved (if ever).
It's not a scam as they do pay, the thing is I guess you really have to have nothing going on in your life to where you don't mind mindlessly login in in and take endless courses with the hopes that there are enough tasks.
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.
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.
