“Sometimes, I just want to scream.”
The same holds true for schedulers. Both sides want to SCREAM.
When I started this business 20 years ago, it was much easier. The pay was better, the reports were not as difficult and it was a fun industry.
No more fun. Clients want more for less pay. Scheduler’s jobs are loaded with stress. Shoppers are expected to do twice the work for 1/2 what the fees were 20 years ago.
I still like to mystery shop. I just have to be more particular which assignments to apply for. Last several assignments I accepted, the guidelines were sketchy, the scheduler hard to reach and the pay was bad.
Best to everyone.
