Pros

I guess free food, not really. I tried some good food I guess but it wasn't worth all of the hassle.

Cons

The employer is so hard on other people and treats them like idiots for not meeting the smallest details in their rambling instructions but doesn't know that it is "constructive criticism" is not "constructively criticism." Hmmmmm

i-Spy Response

This mystery shopper had one tryout assignment that was unusable due to very poor writing skills and their inability to follow detailed instructions, and then became very angry when this was communicated both in writing and verbally -- in an attempt to help them -- and chose not to resubmit the report.

Pros

It's refreshing to work with a company that provides clear guidelines and offers support to help you do your best. The restaurant evaluations require detail-oriented observation. That said, the reports eliminate the excess BS required by some other companies and focus on what's really important. Marc Kravitz was great to work with and the company has contracts with some excellent restaurants.

Cons

None as of yet. Marc has high standards, so just be willing to adapt your writing to I-Spy's specifications.

Pros

I learned a valuable life lesson.

Cons

So many cons. The biggest con is that I spent my time and money reviewing a restaurant for iSPY Hospitality and despite my best efforts, and after modifying my review 3 times, my review was ultimately rejected and I was never compensated for my work. I have extensive experience as a mystery shopper and I pride myself on my well written, detailed reviews. Marc Kravitz was absolutely impossible to please, he had unrealistic expectations, and his abrasive attitude was completely unprofessional. I have a pay statement reflecting compensation for this job, but not reimbursement for the meal. I never received this compensation and my emailed requests for explanation about this weren't answered.
