Verbit Reviews

The foreign-owned company is going around buying small captioning companies, firing long-time employees, and sending US based work overseas to lower their costs. Hours have been diminishing drastically. When the new executive held an informational call for captioners, she asked them to hang in and promised more hours would come. Someone asked if layoffs were planned. She said no. A month later, long term employees were laid off without notice or cause. Management is dishonest. Seems like the goal is to replace US based employees, either with foreign captioners or captioning bots.

Nothing is going the way of transcriptionist at the moment. If you like to work for a company that has the lowest pay, worst job availability, too many unnecessary platforms, disregard of your welfare as employee, poor communicaton channels, boring work environment and irregular paydays, then Verbit is the place to be. This company was one of the best pre-covid and had one of the best community manager in Dana Kalishov. Since she quitted in 2020, it's been a steep downhill and, boy, they can't catch a break. It's an epitome of poor management decisions. And if you are hired, your account can be frozen at their own will without a warning and without merit. It doesn't matter your overall scores because integrity is not valued here as long as you can work for as low as $1.0 per hour. It's a mess from top to bottom. If you don't laugh you'll cry.
