MarketForce Movie Threatre CFA assignments

I personally do not do them because I do not feel the pay is enough for the work but there are many shoppers who love them.
When I did one I couldn't even watch the movie, let alone bring someone. I waited until it was crazy bonused and had to bounce around from screen to screen to watch the trailers. Not my favorite assignment and definitely not enough money.
Same experience, trailer to trailer. The management even sent someone to escort me to the next screen to watch the next series of trailers, then off to the next. At the last one he personally came and escorted me out of the theater.
So much for " Watch movies for free"
The report was long and full of narratives, plus patron counts. Too much work for the pay.
Not for me, this cup of poison tea.

Beware have been payment issues in the past.
I did one once. Here's my viewpoint. Of course, as always, YMMV.
First, I get a phone call from a scheduler. I have done an audit like this, so I don't know what to do or what to expect. I made this clear to my scheduler. "Don't worry, I will send you a packet. They are easy!" She told me that she had a regular do it but the regular person is out of town. She gave me a crazy bonus and I accepted.
From the paperwork, I realized that I had to attend EVERY movie showing of this ROM-COM movie. It tanked in theaters. According to the paperwork, I had to be in my seat at the beginning of the movie, watch the trailers, make my notes, and leave. I was not allowed to watch the movie. This was in my paperwork five times. I was not allowed to watch the movie. It was bolded. I was not allowed to watch the movie.
I see the movie listings. This movie starts at 10am and the last showing is at 11pm. Really? 11 hours at the theater? I call my scheduler and tell her there is no way in this good earth that I am going to spend 11+ hours at a theater, not watch a movie, and do my report by 8am. She understood and respected my decision, but she was sorry to hear me leave my resignation. What? No ma'am, I am not resigning. I am flaking/canceling this assignment. I hung up. Fifteen minutes later, her supervisor(?) calls and gives me the same ultimatum. Fine, I agree. I can't risk losing my status at MF.
I show up to the theater at 9:30am. I introduce myself to the theater manager and show him my paperwork. He looks at me and says, "Where's so-so?". I told him that she was out of town and I am filling in for her. He asks, "What's your rate?" I told him that MF pays me a fee, and I feel as if I shouldn't disclose it. He shakes his head, "No no no. I pay her NOT to audit my theatre. How much do you need?" Great. I told him that I would not take any money, and I am here to do my job.
After this conversation, I call up the scheduler to let her in on my recent conversation and how to proceed. She tells me to go ahead and audit the location and "she will make a note of it."
I sit through 13 showings of this movie. I see the same trailers 13 times. Between movies, I am in the lobby sitting on a bench. The manager is giving the stink eye each time.
After the sixth movie, my scheduler calls me. "I have been getting reports that you are watching the movie. You know you are only supposed to audit the trailers."
"Yes I know. I am not watching the movie. I watch the trailer and I am out of there."
The scheduler responds, "I am being told by the manager that you are watching the movie and demanding free concessions. He said you also lied about paying Ms. So-So for good reviews. I know that you don't want to be there, but you agreed."
I hung up on her.
I did the rest of my trailer audits. Got home, did my report (which was LENGTHY, as I had to describe each trailer for each time I watched it, 6 trailers * 13 times = 78 separate narratives), and went to bed.
Someone told me that the reports have since changed, but it has scarred me for life.
As for the manager? I picked up my daughter from a movie there. He was still there, giving me the nasty look. I don't know why, his theater review was perfect.
As for the rogue auditor? Saw her a local McD during one of her audits. She went to the manager, said, "For $25, you get a good review." Money exchanged hands.
As for me? I no longer go to the theater and I no longer do these audit checks.

Assembled a display for this MSC knowing going in that they were lying to me about how long it would take to assemble a planogram. And I mean it when I say they flat out lie about how long it takes. Just did it to get the experience before I joined the best MSC and I've made a specialty of constructing planograms for this great MSC, usually $30 for one job and I'm very fast at constructing them. Sometimes I get $50. But MF/CFA pays nothing for the same job. And they lie when they claim it doesn't take long to construct.

I want to clarify something on this first. You are to review each auditorium the feature is playing in. You write down the trailers move on to the next. so if the theater has 19 auditoriums and your feature is showing on 6 screens at 6 different times on each screen you would record the trailers for 6 showings one at each auditorium. Not 36 different records.
Now as far as pay each auditorium takes 10-20 minutes. report ranges from 5-30 minutes. add drive time and print costs and thats how long it will take. most I have had is 6 different auditoriums so first show at 10 am last show am done at 1:50 got there 9:50 thats 4 hours plus drive time and 30 minutes for report. lets call it 5 hours. Pay back when I did them which was when I just started shopping $25 ($15 first screen $2 each additional screen). From what I have heard rate went down. Even at the old rate no where near worth it. Unless they are paying $100 I wouldn't touch. But to each their own. Oh and I once stayed for the movie. Never said anything.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
Actuallu no..... it is 36 times for one company.....

Then hell no. When I did it it was one showing on each screen movie xyz was on. Maybe it changed.
Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
Trailer checks are 1 show time for each screen so 6 screens is 6 visits.
Open checks are EACH SHOWING so 6 screens with 5 show times each = 30 visits
Yes, if the first show starts at 9:30 am and the last show is at 11 pm, you are there until the trailers from the 11 pm show are done. Then you have to wait for the manager to bring you the box office print out. Then go home and do your report by 8 am.
You are NOT allowed to watch the movie.
There are no more narratives for the report.
I love the trailer checks (it's not good money but money but they are a good fit for me) but the money they offer is not enough for the open checks although they do bonus heavily. I wait for them to call me, then it's worth it.

Wowowowwwwwwwww!! Thank you! I will NEVER do one of those, Ever! 
Remember when we used to say Beware of the Purple Portal? That was the movie trailers checks for a particular MSC. Never took one and never will. thanks Mystery Shoppers, you have saved me time and money once again. Many hugs. I had a glass of wine and am feeling affectionate.
I am doing my last check tomorrow. I got the same song and dance about the regular person being unavailable, here's a bonus... so I agreed to 2. What a waste of time.
I instinctively knew from reading what the requirements were that these theater audits were totally not worth it! I signed up but will never take one of these assignments. After reading the OP's experience, I am really glad I never accepted an assignment! What a pain!

On a side note the other movie checks that ARE ok now have a CASH only so beware, a tottaly change from charge only.... ANd they do pay! But make sure you pay in cash.
This is a scary thread! I'm so glad I've never even SEEN these audits. I have a friend that I turned onto MF and she has asked me about the theatre checks, but I've never done one so I don't know. I'll refer her here. Thanks everyone!
Holy cow! Thanks for the info on this. I get the emails from them, but never have thought the pay was worth the time that this whole day shop would take. I am still awestruck by the idea of a mystery shopper asking the audited managers for money! What kind of person does that????
Someone who doesn't care about working for that MSC!
It's because of this very informative thread that I refused to accept the one they offered me today by a phone call. The scheduler asked if I wanted them to remove me from their database since these are the only jobs this division offers now. I said sure. Why waste my time and theirs.
Most of their jobs are difficult or time consuming. They do have some kind of advertising check I tried once and really liked. It only required checking two screens and could be any showing of the day. Had I timed it better my total time onsite would have been under an hour. The theater was close and heavily bonused which is rare.
I don't recall if we were forbidden to watch the movie. The manager offered to have me stay. The theater has one of those suites with an attached bar and some really good food, but they didn't have anything of interest showing at the time. In reality, theaters don't make much money, if any, on ticket sales. It's all about the concessions so an empty seat is doing them no good.

One of the big theater owners once said he's not in the movie business, he's in the popcorn business. Hrm, perhaps that should be in the who said it thread.

At the moment only demons come to mind
I was introduced and worked for Markt Force since 2006, mostly off and on when I came and forth whilst being out of the country. My only assignments were Trailer / Blind checking with one complicated installee which I'll never do again, the easy to moderate are fine, but the much larger ones are difficult.
There are certain projects which one does watch the entire film and the assignment directions will announce that. Also, if checking more than one theater for trailer checks, one doesn't have time especially if each of those scheduled times are very close to each other. I've been subject to both, which I'm waiting because the theater only has one print (believe me that was a nightmare, luckily I resided close by... I was there from 1100 until midnight and that was blind checking) to spending half the day because there was more than one print (relief).
Most cases, I always had the same theater with an occasion different location. The managers as well as the concession staff becomes accustom to your presence and are very nice. Others, although the same, their managers are not so pleasant.
However, I've never done their shopping projects.

Then I am getting lucky as all get out, since most of my assignments are for first show times and the first time I see the trailer I need to see, I am done. If not first shows, as long as I catch all the prints, it's all good. Most of what I check might make it to two screens at most. I think the open checks around me are permanently assigned to others I have met.
I don't care about not watching movies, because most of them I wouldn't want to watch, anyway. Sex Tape? PC version of Annie? No, thanks. So, me being able to make a buck and hob-nob with folks and not being a movie buff, I'm okay with that. I made $86 last week on a materials check across town (paired up with the vitamin shop nearby) one day then did about six trailer checks the next night and ate well at that theater with the two hours gap I had to fill out my reports on my phone. Being a grad student this year, that right there is insurance on the trucks for the month.
No narratives is a plus.

I just did one where I had to buy a online ticket, go watch the movie, look for promotions, send in ticket stubs and narrative. Free movie for me and the wife and it was a decent flick. plus made 30 bucks. Getting paid for going on a date!!! priceless!!!
