Pros

Flexibility is good. Good option when you're unemployed.

Cons

The pay is miserable for the time, effort, and petrol money you put in. The surveys are sometimes ridiculous and impossible to complete, try as you might.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your time and are always interested in how our shoppers feel about working with us. We have worked hard to acquire and retain a loyal and supportive community of shoppers and respond to shopper concerns with a genuine intent to improve the mystery shopping experience. To that end, it is our highest priority to ensure we are honest and transparent in our communication of job ads – including location, pay rate, shop guidelines and client surveys. We never ask shoppers to complete jobs that do not appeal to them. Shoppers self-select for jobs that are in a desired location, in businesses that appeal to them, and at a rate that is acceptable. We are also aware of our obligation to clients to provide them with the very best customer experience data. Consequently, shop guidelines and surveys are often comprehensive shops must be completed to a high client standard. Our QA processes support both shoppers and clients in giving and receiving value-add information and feedback.

Pros

I'm trying hard to find anything positive to say. Nothing so far.

Cons

Do the math. Add up the time it takes to drive to the location plus running costs plus the time spent in store and then writing the review - in most cases you're actually making a loss. $17 paid for a job? Seriously?

Pros

I do love mystery shopping.

Cons

They don’t pay well. And they are not good at communication. Their website is not recommended to operate with mobile phone. Their reports are unnecessarily large. And they don’t pay!!!!
