Good Remote Work Until Its Not

Pros

When you get through the assessments you can start working immediately and its easy, and fun, and you can work as long as you want. It's convenient for someone who has no choice but to do remote work and you can set your hours. If you are a creative or mathematical person, there is work for both types. I enjoyed working for this company while I had it.

Cons

They have a support chat but it's janky and it doesn't really answer any of your questions. They explain in their instructions that they will drop you as an employee but they will never reach out personally to tell you why or give you any type of warning. You are teaching AI and they want perfect grammar and spelling so using an AI to get an answer or check your work is an obvious do not do or else. Well, I tried to qualify for higher-paying work in a new project and I wanted to double-check my work so I used Grammarly to make sure my spelling and punctuation were perfect. I've been using Grammarly for years and years (all through college for 7+ years) and it's been installed on my laptop for so many years I stupidly didn't even realize it is an AI. Suddenly, the next day I got all my projects taken from me and my profile was stripped. No word or explanation as to why or even a warning and I thought I did really good work for them. It wasn't until pondering on it for several days that I realized that might be the reason. It felt horrible getting dropped like that because I actually enjoyed working for them. No word and no explanation just a cutoff.

Pros

Make money fast and easy.

Cons

Will not pay you at some point. Research online beforehand about mannny others not getting paid or accounts being suspended without pay for no reason. Will not respond to emails. Work at your own risk.

They will randomly shadowban you.

Pros

- Decent pay if the work is there - Fun work - Work from home, so ideal work life balance

Cons

- No benefits - No tax withholding - Work is not guaranteed - They can and will shadowban you at some point. Once you see the qualifiers disappear in your dashboard, you are done permanently. There's nobody to contact, there's no way to appeal it. No notice, no feedback, no recourse, no support, nothing. They can just take your livelihood away from you with the click of a button! No conversation whatsoever. No job security.
