Marketforce Photo Audit

August 06, 2012 08:25PM
You cannot have worked in a department store - and it's $25 and can take up to 3 hours. Anyone done this? Thoughts? Does it really take 3 hours?

I don't know about a photo audit like that. I've seen a pricing audit that fits the description and no, it is not worth itgrinning smiley

Thanks Lisa! Still trying to get my feelers as to what is worth it, and what isn't. =)

That's why I love y'all on this board!

I have worked for Market Force for many years. Don't think I have ever done one of these. I have done the vitamn shops which takes a little time and many pictures are required?

I've found that if they say it takes 3 hours it actually takes 2 hours. So if you want to work for $12.50 an hour then take it. Personally I wouldn't.

Most of their audits are not so time consuming in the store. It is the matching up to the report in the correct spot each picture. That can be a nuisance.

That is the worst. Have you ever noticed the pictures don't upload in order most of the time? The couple of times they did, the linking went quick. That was maybe 2 times out of 10.

No fee, no shop.

WOW I wish I had that in my area. I am not so picky and $25 usually I dive in. Even if it actually takes 3 hours it makes $8 an hour....just to take pictures.
I love picky shoppers, leaves many more jobs to gather in a town for me LMAO.

You must live in an area with a low cost of livingsmiling smiley Three hours on-site does not include reporting and uploading time which quickly drops that figure to below minimum wage and unless it's part of a route there is drive time to consider.

Low cost of living and low paychecks. But on the other hand, not many MS jobs available. As per reports, it is not a big deal. I sit down in the den while the family watches TV LOL.

It always amazes me that jobs have the same price across the country when there is such a big difference in costs. We discussed that with an MF fast casual restaurant. In my town the reimbursement covered the cost of the meal, but in places like New York it would not even come close.

They should also consider the price of gas that is a big difference accordin to the area.

In the orientation it seems that mVentix has a policy where shop fees are based on cost of living factors for a particular area. I don't remember ever hearing about another company doing the same thing.

I cannot say anything about them. They don't have jobs in my area.

I did a photo matching audit I think Lisa is referring to - I came to the conclusion that the survey with match the photos to the proper box was thought up and written by the Marquis de Sade. :I

Once was enough for me. Never will attempt to do it again.

With Marketforce, I usually wait for the bonus. For me, I look at the bottom line: how much time and how does that work out-per-hour? If it's a slow month, then maybe...
