The forum is riddled with horror stories of shops gone wrong, unavailable targets at apartment complexes, closed locations, wrong addresses, ;last minute cancellations. Then Mother Nature likes to throw her two cents in and of course traffic accidents and road closures which will throw a monkey wrench into your perfectly planned schedule.@87Supra wrote:
If someone can tell me the downside please do now.
The once and never again like my $200+ carpet cleaning job that only required pictures. I got my whole house shampooed, it was awesome@Flash wrote:
Probably the biggest downside is rotations. Depending on the MSC and the client you may not be able to revisit a location for 30, 45, 60, 90 or 366 days. And there are even locations that are 'once and done', never to shop there again.

I did a route of shops today. 6 different companies. Time from leaving home till getting back. 6.5 hours. Paperwork (surveys) about 3 hours. 100 miles on my car. Total if all accepted and they will be ( I read the directions) 183.00. I am brand new. Did my first set on 1-5-17. The paperwork will go much faster down the road.
Where is the downside. I can't find it.
What am I missing?

I would have stuffed some chocolate bars in my bag!@walesmaven wrote:
And then there are days like yesterday. Four of the six places I was to evauate were closed. That means half pay instead of full pay. Could not call ahead because these are sites without individual phone numbers available to the public. That left me with 3 hours to kill before check-in was permitted for my overnight hotel shop. The good news is that my overnight hotel shop included a very, very good dinner, with wine, that did not require a report. The bad news is that the thermostat in the hotel room malfunctioned and the temp went to 78 F overnight. (I am not allowed to complain about anthing on site!) And, there ws nothing chocolate available for dessert!

100 MILES = $55
$183.00 - $55.00 = $128.00
$128.00 / 10 HOURS = $12.80 / HOUR
Just slightly above minimum wage.
Depends on your cost of living if that's a good deal for you or not.
