I did cable shops for them, quite a lot. I never had a problem, never got a quality-check email. I got paid like clockwork. I have nothing bad to say about them smiling smiley

I do liquor store shops for them as well. No problems. The checks arrive like clockwork.

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
I have never had a problem with NSS or their pizza shops. Their clockwork payments are more than 60 days out. The schedulers are not very professional in that they do not confirm their agreed upon bonuses through email. Their shops have very low fees, and why wait for more than 60 days to get paid? There are cable companies and liquor stores shopped by other MSCs that pay much faster and will confirm the bonus amounts through email.

I thought their cable shop fee was pretty fair. It was $15 to $20, it took you 3 minutes inside to pay your cable bill and make observations. So, for 3 minutes, you were paid $15-$20 for that time. Reporting had some narrative such as full written description of the window attendant and observations of things that were wrong, like dirty sidewalks, broken fences, etc. I thought over-all, it was decent pay. smiling smiley

When I did that shop, the attendant did a HORRIBLE job. It took forever to write it all up for the report :-)

I would say 80% did what they were supposed to (upsell cable products) but 20% did not. The less they did, the MORE you had to write about. tongue sticking out smiley
MelNel - I have done shops with bonuses from $15 to $30. I did my first cheese pizza shop (the one where you have to cut the pie and take photos) and I would not do that one again. I have no problems doing the regular pizza shops for take out or delivery. I don't like their pizza but give the pies to my Grandson who is at that age where he is not so discriminating about what he eats.
I was told by a scheduler last night that this month is the last of the pie cutting shops. They will no longer be done.
That stinks. My kids will be disappointed.

The pie cutting shows are going away???? Yea! I only did one and swore I would not do another.
It's too bad if they stop the "slice and dice" as I call it. I would often get to double shop a location and get two pizzas with double bonus.

I agree with you about the cheese pizza shops. That's the only type orf shop I've had rejected.

Does anyone know about the scheduler structure at NSS? Today I got emails from THREE different schedulers for the same pizza shops.

The PIZZA shops are still there and will continue. The CUTTING UP PIZZA shops are gone.
That's what I was told today.
Been working for them for so long that I have a 5 digit number. That freaks them out every time. I am pretty sure that everyone there is 22 years old.
I asked my schedularer if they were ending and my schedular was shocked and didn't know. I hope our Intel is wrong and NSS will continue to represent them. NSS is a great MSC to work with. And, I always get a bonus for a shop I'm a fan.
