Payroll is an Absolute Nightmare - Social Media Evaluator Appen Employee Review

Lack of personal communication, everything is email and you don't get the answers you are seeking. You cannot reach a live human being via their phone number either. Contracts are terminated without notice. The work is extremely tedious, repetitive and stressful. PAYROLL is a nightmare. If you ask for paper check, you will receive it approximately 10 days AFTER payday. If you use direct deposit or pay card, who knows how long it will take. The company has just turned over their payroll deposits to a company called Payoneer who sends the money to ACHDirect for processing. When the direct deposit doesn't show up in your bank account, Payoneer is full of excuses, their customer service is rude and Appen payroll is completely checked out and will not respond to your emails. Payoneer will tell you that it takes up to 5 business days to receive a direct deposit, then they will tell you 1-3 business days. Either way, your money is out in cyberspace, ACHDirect does have a tracking number to trace the funds and without that, your bank can't find your money.
