Pros

Easy HIT

Cons

FooBar uploads the same exact HITs as MLDSPA and AC3 AI Team. Unlike MLDSPA and AC3 AI Team, FooBar is incredibly rejection-happy on top of paying 10 cents less then the others.

I've literally done hundreds of HITs for both MLDSPA and AC3 AI Team, and have never had issues with them. 99% of my HITs get accepted and I only get rejections if I actually didn't pay attention. With FooBar, *every single* HIT I've done has been rejected despite me completing them exactly the same way as I do for the other requesters AND being pretty experienced with these types of HITs. I tried it again after a month with a single HIT (this one) and the same thing happened. At this point, it's clear that it's not my mistake. I tried contacting them once to dispute my rejections, but they never replied. Other Turkers seem to have the same experience with FooBar.

AVOID FooBar! Stick to the other 2 requesters instead.

Advice to Requester

There's either a bug with your HITs or Turkers are being unfairly rejected left and right.

Pros

Did 45 hits, all approved. Pay comes out to like 9.50$ an hour without bonuses.

NO BONUS WAS EVER PAID BY THEM.

Cons

They do reject if you mess up... so don't mess up. The pay is a bit low considering how tedious and mind-numbingly boring.

A month later, no bonus. THEY DO NOT PAY OUT BONUSES... these guys suck in comparison to the other requesters who pay 20 cents more AND pay bonuses.

Advice to Requester

Don't say you'll give out bonuses if you aren't going to do it.

Pros

Cons

Rejected all of mine immediately. Have been turking for years and never had an issue. Avoid this at all costs. I listened to each audio and ensured I made sure I passed the audio checks. I repeat DO NOT bother with this requester.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
