I just received an email from "Harland Clarke" with a lot of $50 shops in my area for what sounds like bank shops. Part of their ad states:
“Most consist of shopping the facility, teller, and a higher level representative and a few are one rep shops. We use question and answer forms with approximately 17 questions per part and require a detailed written narrative that gives us the story of your encounter as well as describes the facility and illustrates the answers marked on the forms.”
Yet since I have worked bank shops for other mscs before, I do not do any that require any out of pocket expenses . . . even if the expenses will be reimbursed, yet those shops I have seen tend to pay $45 (since you have to open an account at the bank, with a minimum of $100, then you can close the account later).
Yet I was just curios for those of you that have done financial / banks shops for this company before, do you have to pay any out of pocket expenses (even if you are reimbursed)? How long does it take to do “their” report. All of the banks shops I have worked thus far, never required any out of pocket money, usually I have to spend about 10 to 15 minutes in the bank, and it usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes to write the report and those shops usually pay $10 to $15. Yet since this shop is paying $50, I wonder how involved is the shop, before considering signing-up for some of their financial / bank shops.
