I haven't had too much of a problem yet, however, I just did a shop for a new company -The first shop 10 score this shop 6 score. I really do not get it, the editor said it was was grammatical. I write the same with every report. Go figure! Have a great day!
Sorry they gave you a lower score than you're used to/deserve.
I hope you have a great day too!

They weren't telling me my scores, but I was getting suggestions for improvement on every Sentry Marketing survey I submitted, except for the last one. That felt like such an achievement!
I would normally say If you do what you are asked it shouldn't be hard but Sentry grades hard and they take off if you don't follow tge directions that are hidden. Most of the time it depends on the editor as wrll.
Intellishop has given me lower scores than I felt were deserved, but it doesn't bother me because I was still getting 8s or 9s. Coyle is, IMO, the most difficult MSC to get a perfect score with.
I'd like to, but haven't shopped for Coyle yet. Hearing how tough they are makes me wonder if I should just forget about working with them.
They're good if you have plenty of MSing experience and want to experience the high-end side of life. 
Personally, the high-end restaurant wasn't all that worthwhile for me, but I would consider doing hotels for Coyle.

I've done casino shops where you evaluate 8 people. Do you know if Coyle's shops are similar? Probably not because Coyle is mostly narrative from what I've heard.
It isn't really the MSC...it's the client in my case. I get perfect 10s with this MSC all the time until I get the darn "specialty gift shop" assignments. Ugh. I don't know what it is, but I've quit doing them. A $2 reimb. and $7 or $8 pay aren't enough for the crap you have to deal with in the store and on the evaluation.

I mostly narrative for their shops. I don't find them necessarily hard, but work-intensive ad time consuming. You need to report every detail, so if you have good note taking skills and a good memory, the shop is not tat difficult.
You need good writing skills and the ability to follow the example perfectly if you want to get a perfect score as well. The standards for shoppers are higher and reports may take longer, but the shops themselves are no harder to perform IMHO.

intellishop, but I do not care unless I do not get paid.
Intellishop: If the editor has to contact you, a downgrade is often issued whether it is your fault or not. It must be hard for an editor to sift through the 200 redundant questions pertaining to the luxury car shops without "brain freeze" and submission to the status quo.
For me, it was Coyle definitely. I don't work for them anymore because, for me, the amount of time and effort required did not match the rewards. I appreciated the experience of having shopped fine dining establishments and hotels for them and would not have changed working for them if I could. However, I find working for other MSCs to be more rewarding.
Currently, I don't find getting perfect scores to be difficult.

After reading your responses, I'm glad Intellishop doesn't have anything in my area.
Intellishop by far. I have officially dropped them. Im tired of their exhausting reports and their nit-picky editors (and above all the low pay). THey are not worth my time.
It depends on the time I do the report online. Before 11pm, most give me a good score. After 11pm, I find that fewer good scores are handed out.
I thought Satisfaction Services was tough on my first assignment I did for them but I've since done a couple more and they went OK. The other MSC that is picky, IMHO, is EPMS. And EPMS is one of those who deducts dollars for dings!
Service sleuth nit picks the narratives...
