Today, we
are talking about which work at home companies are rated highest on Indeed. If
you weren't already aware, Indeed is a website that
catalogs all sorts of useful info about businesses, especially facts that would
be useful to prospective employees.
For example, you can use
Indeed to look up statistics about average salaries, check current job
openings, or read reviews from former employees.
Because of the vast amount
of data available, Indeed is one of the first places you'll want to check when
you're researching a company before applying
for a job.
They track companies of all
sizes, including big names like Amazon, and tons of small
firms you've probably never heard of before.
If you're interested in
getting into the work at home sphere, reviews are especially important because
some companies don't treat their remote employees as well as they do those who
work on-site.
To make sure you don't get
stuck in a bad situation, you'll definitely want to take advantage of every
information resource you can find, but if you don't even know where to begin,
all that research can take a lot of time.
With that in mind, we've
scoured the Indeed database and put together this list of highly rated work at
home job opportunities.
In the interest of variety,
we tried to make sure there were several jobs on the list from all the more popular remote work categories,
so a few excellent companies may not have made the list simply because their
category was already over-represented.
This is not an exhaustive
list by any measure (or in any particular order), but it should be enough to
give you some good ideas about how to begin your job search.
#1 – Apple
Indeed Rating – 4.2
I'm pretty sure everyone on
planet earth has heard of Apple, but not everyone knows they hire quite a few
remote workers.
There are several
home-based positions available at Apple, but the one with the biggest
recruitment push right now is their “At Home Adviser” role: a phone-based
customer service job. The average pay for that position is about $15 per hour,
but some people make more than $20 per hour.

#2 – Ginger.io
Indeed Rating – 4.2
This company hires licensed
mental health professionals to help people via video or text chat.
The pay is pretty high by
work at home standards (in the $20 per hour range, roughly) but when you
consider the educational requirements, it doesn't sound so great anymore.
Still, the reviews are
extremely positive, much better than average compared to most other phone jobs,
so Ginger.io must be doing something very right.

#3 – Italki
Indeed Rating – 4.6
This is a reputable English
Language tutoring site where teachers can set their work rates.
The reviews for this
company on Indeed are almost all very enthusiastic. Italki get especially high
scores in areas like Work-life balance and culture. A lot of the comments mention
schedule flexibility as a big perk.

#4 – VIPkid
Indeed Rating – 3.9
Another English Language
tutoring company with a very good reputation, and decent pay ($14 – $22 per
hour).
The score is not quite as
high as some of the other opportunities on this list, but they have more than
300 reviews on Indeed, so quite a few people have taken the time to express
their opinions, and most of them seem to value the job pretty highly.
Open to US (except
California) and Canada.

VIPKID or read our VIPKID review first.
#5 – Capital One
Indeed Rating – 4.0
This is a virtual
call-center job from a well known company. The average pay is $27k per year,
which works out to approximately $13.50 per hour over the course of a full 40
hour work week.
Obviously that isn't
amazing, but it's still well above average compared to many other work-at-home
phone positions, some of which pay considerably less than $10 per hour.

#6 – ICUC
Indeed Rating – 3.8
Earn between $10 and $18
hourly working as a social media moderator for this company, one of the highest
rated on Indeed for this particular niche.
The hours are flexible and
the work is apparently relatively easy to do. They generally prefer to hire
people fluent in more than one language.

#7 – Belay Solutions
Indeed Rating – 5.0
This company hires virtual
assistants on a contract basis. The pay rate is not disclosed, but the hours
are very flexible, and the high rating on Indeed suggests most aspects of the
job are probably pretty excellent.

Belay Solutions or read our Belay Solutions review.
#8 – 3Play Media
Indeed rating – 4.1
Earn between $10 and $25
per hour (depending on how fast you are) working for one of the highest rated
transcription companies out there. You'll be an independent contractor, so you
set your own schedule and work at your own pace.

3Play Media or read our 3Play Media review.
#9 – Textbroker
Indeed Rating – 3.9
This is one of the oldest
and best established writing content mills on the net, and they have a higher
rating than any other major writing gig I could find on Indeed.
The pay, which varies
depending on your skill-rating, isn't great, but Textbroker are quick to give
new writers a chance, and it's still one of the best places to learn the ropes
of the freelance content biz.
The reason for the high
Indeed rating is pretty simple. A ton of content writers out there have worked
for Textbroker at some point along the way, and most of them did so at an early
time in their careers, when they were still trying to figure out the basics.
A few months working for
Textbroker will give you a good grounding in the fundamental skills needed to
excel as a freelance writer, and you'll be able to carry that knowledge with
you as you advance to higher paying gigs.

#10 – Ask Wonder
Indeed Rating – 4.0
This is a research job
where you do short write-ups based on user questions. The work is supposed to
be relatively easy, and the scheduling is extremely flexible. If you're really,
really fast you can apparently make as much as $2000 a month.

or read our Wonder review first.
We hope the list above
helped you find some interesting jobs you hadn't already heard of before.
Obviously, these aren't the
only companies out there with good reputations among remote workers, but if
you're new to the work at home scene, these should be an excellent starting
point.
Finding good, dependable
remote career opportunities isn't always easy, but sites like Indeed can help
you cut through some of the misinformation out there, and focus on jobs that
will really pay off in the long run.
We also have a list of highly-rated work at home companies on
Glassdoor if you'd like more ideas.
