Coach and BOSS SHOPS. Who's done them and how involved are they?

I was wanting to get some experienced advice on these two shops to see what the level of detail involved in doing them is.I have asked the MSC for more information but have not gotten enough to suffice my hesitation in doing them.

I did two Coach shops...they were enough for me.

Because of the ICA that we sign, we cannot discuss the company that has the shops.

For BOSS, I've done two. The shop itself was not bad, but the report made me want to do murder. Also, I ended up buying a sweater that looked awesome and was on sale, so I was out mad cash on that shop.
I've done Coach shops for two different msc. The first one, which required a purchase, was easy.

The one for the 2nd msc was a nightmare. I did one of these a few weeks ago, and there were 70+ questions, plus narrative. No purchase was required, but it was definitely not worth the small pay, and they are on my 10' pole list.
I made the decision after doing my last Coach almost a year ago that I would never do them again.
I figured they were probably narative heavy but 70 questions and a narrative reminds me of lowes.. Thanks for the input. I have not done any jobs for the MSC yet but didnt know if jumping in on high end retail would be more frustrating than a 18 year old city boy working in the lumber department.
I've done the Boss shop. As shopsuey said, the shop isn't bad but the report really sucked. It was super long and redundant.

I second that emotion! smiling smiley
If you want to know who does them look at the end of the replies.

Having said that why would you want to do them. The clerk comes over and tries to rush you through. I kept telling the clerk I was looking for an item and have not found it anywhere and went through every book to make up the artificial time you have to spend in the store.
I did Coach last fall for I believe a different MSc then the one handling it now. Never again. It was a purchase and return shop for a $225 wallet. I kept the wallet in the bag and only pulled it out to show my husband, and then put it back in the bag. When I attempted to return it I was told I could not because it was used. Seriously? It sat in a bag all weekend, the tag was still attached, and the paper still around it. I spoke to the manager and flatly refused their accusation. I also explained to them that I was given the wallet off of the floor so if she saw something then maybe it was their fault.

I received an email from I think the new MSC and said if the shop they were offering was for Coach I will not do the shop.
I did coach with the old msp. I always liked them as they were nice add on and easy shops. The Hugo Boss shops have one large narrative and a lot of multiple choice questions some requiring a quick line of narrative. I am correct in assuming that the MSP who does Hugo Boss now does Coach.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
The one im registered with does do them both. As I originally stated I asked them for more info and they only wanted me to tell them what days I wanted to go. I have learned in my year doing shops first time high bonus shops are usually high bonuses for a bad reason.
I've done both and most upscale shops. They were not bad. Coach was purchase and return. Only once did I return.
Boss, you have to have plenty of time for the fitting. There was no purchase. I did a Hugo Boss with my son as it required a male and when offered to me I was asked if I had a son in that demographic group. These are upscale shops so just show you can afford their merchandise.
The Coach done by the same MS that has the Boss has horrible reports and very annoying reporting website. Click, click for 70 questions. I never do anything for this company without a heavy bonus, and the $12 current bonus for the Boss does not cut it. There are Coach done by other MS purchase/return and they have a more reasonable standard sassie report.
I figured it out and got the answer to my own question. The one who does hugo boss also is doing coach now. I don't like that I have to be female to do the regular coach stores. The Coach men is the only one I can do now. I just ask this MSP on the Hugo and other shops for what I need. I can in my area at least get $40 for HUGO.

I did two Coach shops in the last month. Signed up for both at the same time. If I would have waited until the report was done with the first, I would have never signed up for the second shop. Very long report. But again, a learning experience so value was had.
