Pros

Reportedly, some people get paid working here and are able to do it for more than a week

Cons

These are opinions based on my experience: Support staff ranges from indifferent to incompetent, weekly changes in policy, stiffing people on pay, false advertising on pay rates, support and training docs littered with typos and contradictions, overall fly-by-night labor middle-man scheme. We're all just fish waiting for food to drop in the bowl, and god forbid you have a technical issue (on their side) blocking your ability to work for them. It's easier for them to fire you (ignore you and refuse to give you work- they aren't kind enough to actually fire people) and wait for some desperate person to replace you than help you with anything. They also have a habit of unceremoniously revoking people's access to work on Friday evenings without even notifying anyone, just a bunch of people lose work and then start complaining on Slack about losing their income. 50/50 chance that some portion of the staff you interface with is just AI. I'm almost convinced this is just one big experiment in finding out poorly you can treat remote employees while still turning a profit from their work. The way this company treats workers should be illegal!

Pros

I have worked about 18 months for Remotasks as a finance / economics SME, helping develop generative AI LLMs by writing prompts and evaluating responses. I typically average 10-15 hours a week to supplement my consulting work and teaching roles. I loved the project work I did to train LLMs on finance tasks, such as valuation and financial analysis. The pay was acceptable and paid weekly, the work was interesting to me, and we had sufficient support for project methodology.

Cons

A long-running project wound down, and I was offered new projects at lower rates (outside my expertise). On two occasions, I completed initial training (one hour) to find the work queue empty, and then moved to another project. I started another finance-related project that was interesting, but have not been paid for the work I did. There seemed to be a time-tracking issue, but my Zendesk support ticket has not been resolved. I am out maybe 10 hours worth of work, so no big deal. But the support quality has declined noticeably, the work is more sporadic, and I am thinking it's time to move on.
