The Mark company claims they're Best. Yet treats shoppers awfully

April 23, 2017 03:59AM
I used to do quite a few shops for BestMark, but it seems most of their shops in my area are largely reimbursement only, so I only do them if I need the service anyhow. I've always found them to be straight forward and the payment/reimbursement is consistent and quick..

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

It's not, but there is something to be said for learning the culture of the place before jumping in with personal attacks requiring editing by the moderator. If you want to be take seriously, more details and less attitude would be helpful.

They DO change reports. Saw that one plain and clear at an upscale store. Saw MY report with a specific sentence and the report HAD been changed. They of course denied they had the store pass when it was a fail.

I'm not sure why you care? I at least don't. To me my job is to provide a report to my client (the MSC). What they then do with that report doesn't affect me at all. As long as I get paid I'm happy.

Yea, the $3 online shops aren't what they seem to be, are they!?

I was shocked beyond belief when I first saw a report of mine changed; it made a barely negative portion of the shop into a highly positive shop. Freaked me out. Then, I knew that it can happen and I don't care so long as they do not give their client my name attached to that report.

If a report is changed by BestMark what is the point of doing the work? Is the company even legit?

The word ethics comes to mind.

Because they pay you to do the work.

I have not taken any assignments lately. The reimbursement was stopped for the sodie pop, and $12 for two interactions on complicated electronics, or $17 for a detailed car dealership is wayyy too low. I hope they up the fees soon..

Have they stopped their phone shops? I have done these shops in the past to make some easy quick cash, but haven't done them in a while. I've been searching different cities by zip-code, but haven't been able to find anything yet.
