That changes like the weather at one time gfk was in my top 3 now it is in my bottom 3. Ritter Associates now alta360 or something was also there but have fallen back due to lack of shops. Right now its 1. Monterey Mystery shopping 2. Beyond Hello and 3 Bare.

I like whoever has the most work in my area.

Right now my favourite it is Strategic Evaluations because they have the most work in my area this month. That could change after I scour some job boards.

As mentioned, this changes a lot for most people, at least those that shop for 50/100 companies and do 30+ shops a month. I agree with bgriffin except that I do like A Closer Look. Them, along with Buckalew Hospitality are tops for me right now, but that's mainly because they are both getting me free hotel nights right now. And the former Ritter Associates is getting me the bulk of my shopping/auditing money at the moment.

Any company that pays within 30 days, allows the shopper to schedule and reschedule without repercussion, and the reports do not require redundant narrative. And of course, have decent bonuses.

Whatever company is in a bind and giving a bonus and can make a local route of easy shops. As long as the scheduler don't say "quick" or "easy" in the email, I'll bite. Those are words of caution to me.

I've only been at this a few months, so right now I like most of the companies. Shoppers Confidential has given me a variety of jobs, and the schedulers have been very nice and helpful when I had to contact them. So, I'll make them number 1. Many others have been good too, so there is a big tie for 2nd place.

Spot Check is close to me so they have lots of work in my area.
I also really like Performalogics. Questionnaires are decent, pay is prompt, and fair number of jobs in my area.
I like Intellishop because they seem to have a lack of shoppers in my area so shops get bonused often. I don't find the reports too bad.

This week my faves are Intouch and Service Excellence, because they've both already paid me for work done this month. (The Service Excellence was done just EIGHT DAYS ago!)

Coyle and A Closer Look. Without a doubt! While doing work, we can have a wonderful dinner at restaurants we normally couldn't afford.

This is a tough one because mine charge fairly often too! I like BARE, Quest for Best, and MSI/TrendSource a lot. A year ago, I would have included GFK, but sadly they don't come close to making the cut now. Goodwin & Associates has a lot of cool shops and reasonable schedulers, so I tend to do a lot of work for them too, although I wish their fees were a little higher. Honorable mentions go to B Business Solutions and Data Quest- I wish these companies had work for me more often because I really enjoy working with them!

...that's all for now I guess. Self-schedule and self-reschedule get big points with me too.

Happily shopping the Pacific Northwest. Shopping since 2013
