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 – 4.3
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 – Italki
Indeed Rating – 4.3
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.

Indeed Rating – 3.8
Another English Language tutoring company with a very good reputation, and decent pay (some teachers make $22 per hour or more).
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.

Indeed Rating – 3.9
This is a virtual call-center job from a well known company. They aren’t always hiring for customer support work, so you have to keep tabs on their jobs page.

7 – Textbroker
Indeed Rating – 3.4
This is one of the oldest and best established writing content mills on the net, and they have a high for a content mill type writing platform.
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.

Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it’s cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don’t like it, it’s very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
