Terminate perfect employees with no explanation - Falcon Insta-Ads Social Media Evaluator Appen Employee Review

Pros

My experience with this company started off great. I was so relieved to be able to work from home, at my convenience and have a little extra income every month. I worked for the company for seven months and found the work to be easy and enjoyable.

Cons

Suddenly, I was terminated with no warning, after working there for over seven months. Every month before my termination I received positive feedback about my work and followed the company's guidelines to a tee (requesting off each day of unavailability, working at least 5 days in a row, usually 7 for me, and reporting technical difficulties within the rating tool whenever they appeared.) Once I received the prompt and vague termination email, I attempted to contact support and find out why I had suddenly been terminated and was given no real answer other that "the clients appreciate your feedback".

Pros

The work tasks are relatively clear, and my colleagues are very friendly and always offer help when I don't understand something. The company's policies and culture are also very transparent.

Cons

Sometimes due to urgent work delivery timelines.

Pros

Working at home on the computer.

Cons

Lack of proper communication. No phone communication whatsoever, only by sending in tickets and emails. They hired me for a project for me to review advertisements and I worked hard at this task and always looked back at the materials as a guideline to keep all my answers as per how they want them to be. However, this was not good enough for them and I was retested. Of course, I knew they would fail the retest and fire me immediately. In addition, I have been putting in my house on my time sheet and they have not paid me once. They claim I will be paid for the hours I billed for but I have not seen any money yet. I am giving up on seeing any pay and my working with Appen has been a total waste of my time when I could have been putting in my efforts working for someone else.
