Around here, there are none available. I remember seeing many open pretty much constantly for GFK.

BestMark fired me for refusing to accept their high work/low pay shops and I discharged GFK for extremely poor communication from their schedulers.

right now there is one available... but i remember posters on this site saying it averaged about $4 an hour when they were available through gfk... which is unacceptable...

My average with GFK was much higher than that. Only the first audit took enough time that my hourly was barely into the double digits. I have no idea what they are like with Bestmark. My concern with them are all the financial penalties. GFK published the expectation of a quick turnaround, but they were reasonable about it, would work with an auditor who had a problem and didn't pile on deductions for every little mistake or if the report was a few hours late.

Mm. Never mind. I found another thread than answers that question. Apparantly, the audits are not worth it.

BestMark said I didn't put the location (s) were I had encounter wtih these folks and now they will not pay me for the shop... it was a $75.00 and I worked really hard on this. I will never work for them again
