In general, what is going on remotely is that the page is taking
slightly longer to load relative to what you have locally, so the
Selenium command is trying to execute before the site is ready for it
Does this help to explain the difference between #wait_until and #wait_while?
browser.wait_until { true } # => returns immediately
browser.wait_until { false } # => will time out
browser.wait_while { true } # => will time out
browser.wait_while { false } # => returns immediately

Text will return as empty if the element exists, but it not yet visible.
Ideally waiting for text to not be "" should be automatic, but
implementing that with the current code we have is not trivial. :(
So in for now you need to explicitly wait for it to become present first:
cta_description_element.wait_until(&:present?).text.gsub(/[^$,.A-Za-z0-9]/," ")
Based on our conversation here, I just added code that will go into
the next version of Watir that will allow you to do this (which might
be easier to understand?):
cta_description_element.wait_while(text: "").text.gsub(/[^$,.A-Za-z0-9]/," ")
