Probably more than ANY company, my experience with Bare has been very spotty.
I've found that some forms are concise and instructions clear, while others are far from it. There's only one scheduler with whom I've communicated that I can say is great. The majority of schedulers I've had reason to contact have been slow to respond, not particularly friendly and in several cases, answered in a way that makes me wonder if they really read my message! Same for the editors. There's one I LOVE, but a few of the others have really made me scratch my head. One time, I DID get in touch about a score -- I was deducted for not answering a question that was NOT on the form! My score was upgraded, but seriously!!!!!
Last Bare gripe of the day, I hate that they don't notify you when you've applied for a shop and it's been closed. Oh, I just thought of a few other things, but I'll leave those for another vent. Definitely not one of my favorite companies.
