I just found out I won't be paid for my May jobs until July 17th. I was told that that was stated in the instructions but it wasn't information in BOLD print or I think I would've taken note. Something like "Please take note that you will not be paid next month for these jobs" would have been the professional thing to do. I don't think I would've done them. My very first job for them I had to wait two months to get paid. I have told several people I know that were interested in Castforce not to bother signing up. After the pre-job preparation...printing out instructions, invoices, etc using printer paper and ink, ..then the jobs themselves including the gas and traveling you do....then the post-job work of submitting info about the jobs and uploading invoices....it is NOT worth what you make. Pittance!

I don't work for Castforce, so not sure how much they pay, but 30-60 days for pay is not unusual. It is not great, but to me it is much more important that they pay when they say they will. For many companies, the first couple of jobs take longer as you need to get used to each companies quirks.

Im sorry you had an unpleasant first experience with Castforce. However, on the portal where you see about Available assignments there is a line that tells you what month the job will be paid. Don't just skim through, read every line because some jobs specify the HOURS and DAYS of the week that they can be performed. You have to read everything!

I always look at when it will be paid before I sign up for the job it's very clear and they make it very plain for you to decide whether not you want to do it

I'm new to MSing, and Castforce was the second company I signed up with three months ago. I've done about 50 assignments for them so far, and I **think** I did some of the same May assignments as mhl125, that are to be paid in July.

iwahstore is correct. Under the detailed description for each project there is a line stating the projected payment date. I knew before requesting the assignment that the paydate was in July, and after reading many posts here on the forum, I was also aware that 30-60 days for payment is the norm, as Shelly stated. As for the pre-job prep, that's going to be true regardless of the company or the assignment.

My experience with Castforce has been wonderful. Almost half of my assignments have been on short notice with a bonus. My very first one was a bit of a nightmare, and took three times as long to complete. I talked to my scheduler the following day, and he added extra compensation for my time, which I didn't expect. There was another I was reluctant to do because I knew I had to pay for parking in that area, and my scheduler added the cost to my fee. I've been paid on-time and in-full.

The Support Team, and my scheduler have been fantastic as well. I've found them to be be patient and encouraging with all my questions, and any issues I have had have been quickly resolved. The assignment fees are a bit low to start, but they are easy work, and the reports are a breeze--a few checkboxes, a few pictures, and a comment. When I can 4-6 near each other in a day, it adds up and it makes it worth it to me.

I would definitely recommend Castforce to any new shoppers out there who like merchandising.

I also work for Castforce and Its kind of weird but not unusual. Check the bottom part of your dashboard and it tells you the amount of day until pay. Those little circle thingies.
I work from South Jersey Near Philly.
I input the data, took like 5 minutes tops and you don't necessarily have to print out the paper work, unless its a detailed job and most of the time (depending) on the job its a one page.
I also use Dropbox for my pics, upload them at the store by the time I get home they are ready for to upload to the site.
If I carry my tablet, I can get the job done, go have a small break, get something to eat or something and upload the info.
Trendsource it kind of cool too but their jobs go very quick! Pay ain't bad either
