Dick's Sporting Goods anyone ever do this one

October 06, 2022 01:00AM
Received an email about photo audits at Dick's Sporting Goods. Evaluate 4-6 specific departments in the assigned store plus 2 additional departments of your choosing. The survey is short and consists of mostly photos. Also answer a few questions to evaluate if you are greeted or engaged with by any associates, and write brief narrative about the cleanliness and ease of shopping of the departments.

Anyone ever do this one?

Pay is $20. Not sure that it is enough, but was wondering how long it really takes. The store is nearby and is a weekly job for the rest of the month.

My local Dick's doesn't have that many departments. And I don't think they have that many people working either.

I've never done a Dick's Sporting Goods Audit but my local one is humungous. I personally wouldn't do it for $20 but maybe if your location is smaller like the other user said then maybe. Only risk is you wait then someone else scoops it up before you can. I dont really shop audits so maybe someone with audit shop experience can chime in and give their input

Edit after seeing its weekly.. 80 bucks total not bad on that on top of weekly..that would sway me more towards yes

Shopping Idaho and Oregon/Idaho border region.

I did one today for $25. Super easy. The hardest thing is making sure you found the right section for your "department". (Which is really just a 20 x 20' area.) Or I suppose avoiding attention, although if you're identified it isn't an issue.

There are two "narratives" at the end, but each has a MAXIMUM character limit of I think 250 characters. The only other text fields are conditional, like if something looked wrong to you in a department. Those are an even shorter limit, and are vastly preferable to having a ton of checkboxes to sort through.

You might ask for $25, but it's still probably worth $20 if convenient.

Any hints on the company? Maybe they aren’t offered in NJ.

Yes in New Jersey. But only offered with a very tight window. I was asked on Tuesday if I could do it for Wednesday or Thursday. Looking now I see a new round of Dick's shops for Oct 10/11 only.

The MSC is the same one that does Retro Fitness. It's an older company with custom software and a reputation for being bad at estimating their payout dates.

This is the MSC that isn't paying or paying months and months late. Easier way to (actually) earn $20 are out there.
