Each day is well-structured yet flexible. I usually start by checking messages and priorities, followed by individual or team tasks depending on the project. Collaboration is frequent, and there’s a good mix of independent work and group interaction.

I've developed strong communication and organizational skills, and gained valuable experience in cross-functional teamwork. There's also continuous exposure to new tools and workflows, which helps with professional growth.

Management is approachable and supportive. They are open to feedback, provide clear direction, and genuinely care about the well-being and development of the team.

The culture is inclusive, collaborative, and respectful. People are willing to help each other and there’s a real sense of community. Flexibility and work-life balance are valued.

The hardest part of the job is adapting to changes in priorities or scope can be challenging, especially when timelines are tight. However, good communication helps manage this effectively.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the people. Working with a team that’s motivated, kind, and supportive makes even busy days enjoyable. The flexibility and opportunities to grow also make a big difference.

This was an incredibly frustrating experience for me. There were some weeks where there was plenty of work to do, but more often than not there were little to no tasks to complete. How am I supposed to meet their minimum number of required hours when there's not enough work to do? Whenever I'd express my concerns about this to my project manager, their response was, "make sure you're checking multiple times a day." It doesn't matter how many times a day I check if there is consistently no work to do! This is also just a part time position- I have another job so my schedule would only allow me to check for tasks at certain times of the day. 
The communication was also unnecessarily complicated- I was often redirected and told to contact someone else about certain topics, or told to use a different email address to submit requests. It would take ages to get  a clear answer about certain questions. There was also an instance where my project manager didn't respond to me for several weeks, so I reached out to the support email and explained this to them and their response was "contact your project manger." They didn't even take the time to read my email. I ultimately feel like this was a waste of time and would encourage anyone to think twice before applying. 

Who exactly is this job for?? I'm quite computer and internet-savvy when compared to the average person, so I thought I'd be able to get this position. It seemed like a decent opportunity to work around my education so I applied, completed a survey and received an invite for online courses within a few days. I took the time to study the course materials, made notes, and didn't mess around when it came to learning the required material. After a few days (and successfully completing quizzes attached to each module), I received an invitation to the final exam. I did the exam... and got a notification that I had failed. The exam content is a few levels above what you are quizzed on, and isn't really covered explicitly by the courses. You have to just use your best judgement, and mine apparently wasn't good enough. To make it better, you get absolutely no feedback on what questions you missed, so you can't even brush up on what you're missing for the retake. It's as if RWS wants you to fail. All of this is just made better by the fact that the training is UNPAID. Giant waste of time, skip it and find something legitimate. 

RWS is an audio visual organization that set up many events from TEDx events to major schooling events. Since it was a student ran organization, work would usually happen after school but occasionally work was required during school. RWS teaches many things from setting up large professional speakers to running a sound board. It also teaches how to work quickly and calmly in a very hectic environment. Management was ran by the students and one supervising teacher. The co-workers were fellow students of the school and for the most part they were dependable and eager to work. The hardest part was making sure that everything went as planned because if our organization made a mistake then the event that we were working, whether it is a pep rally or a social event, would face many problems. The most enjoyable part was being able to experience a very professional environment and being able to work on big events like TEDx.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They cared about their people..they always made sure you had everything you needed for the job at hand..always checking in on you to make sure that you were ok...and progressing with no trouble.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that I had a job to do...and wanted to do it as safe as possible and to make the company proud...and to give them a respectful  and professional name.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family oriented and friendly...they welcome you with open arms,,and give you the tools needed for the job...it was a pleasure working for them.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Knowing what the job task at hand is before you start your day...there was never a stupid question asked....if you didn't know or understand anything about the job at hand...someone was ready to help you threw the day.the only stupid question,    was the one not asked.

Most of what this company offers is great. Super flexible work/life balance, there's always tasks available (depending on which client you're working under), they have a page that is packed with learning modules, a community webpage where you can chat with others and find out about other projects you can apply for, etc... Only downfalls I've experienced, is they take forever to pay you (about a month and a half later, if you're a freelancer), and this is not a company that should be your reliable income. It's much better as a side job than anything else, simply because one week you're putting in 8 hours, and a couple of days later, you get an email that states that the client reduced the hours to 4, because of the demand; you're already getting paid below minimum wage to begin with.

They fix stuff just good enough to get the tires rolling down the road again. They don’t care if your already got your loads done for the day and have places and things to do after work they expect u to stay and pick up poor drivers slack every time they ask and make u feel horrible when turning them down, the pay is all over the place , they pay percentage of load and one week a certain load will pay a certain amount then maybe a month later u do that same exact load and they pay u less for it , happens all the time , always have to get it fixed and they act defensive and as if I’m wasting there time when you bring it to there attention oh and u get paid a percentage of what the truck made but they won’t let you see paperwork to prove your actually getting 30%

So I had high hopes about this job. Unfortunately there were so many roadblocks and barriers to even getting started. From getting emails saying I failed the entry test when I actually passed it (was corrected a day later), to never actually getting access to my work email, do not being able to reach people to get help and when I did get email replies they weren't helpful and didn't seem like they actually read my email. For example they would ask for info I had just provided, or wouldn't answer my main question, or would say it doesn't matter I can't log in when if I can't get into the work email I can't log into the other sites to do the actual work. I was never paid for the training I did complete either. Overall a huge waste of time. 

The work has variety and it is flexible to your schedule, but often raters encounter NTA (No Tasks Available) throughout the week and may put in several hours over what they get paid just trying to check task availability. This makes for very inconsistent work, and it can be difficult to meet even minimum hours at times. 

Previously we had access to communications with other employees, but a day ago we were given notice that our corporate emails would be phased out by the end of the month. However, as of less than 24 hours later, there is no longer access to the workspace. Could be that the company is purposely trying to keep raters siloed off, likely to avoid labor implications.

There is no employer-employee communication and after half a year, I received no responses to many support tickets I submitted. Many people were let go due to 'quality dips' when the company does not allow you to see your quality score. They set up a function for that exact purpose, which has never worked for anyone, apparently. They expect at least ten-twenty minutes of research and comments for each task and only pay you for maybe four of it half the time, and avoid that issue when its brought up. 
This job is fun, this company needs a lot of work. I did enjoy the choose your own hours aspect, but wished there was more consistent work throughout the day, as- with this pay- this is many peoples side-job.
