I am in the process of looking for more companies to sign up to work for. I began going down the list alphabetically. I had not signed up to work for AMA Enterprises and see some positive feedback from a few members. There are a few things that give me pause about signing up with them. Can any of you who have worked with them offer feedback on my concerns?
First, their website redirects from amaenterprisesinc.com to isienterprise.com. Did the company change names?
I looked around their website, which has some strange features. First of all, I thought it was strange that there was a link to "Client's Testimonials" (singular possessive). I clicked on the link to find what, at first, appears to be one testimonial. However, when you read it, it appears to be a synopsis of the company's history with a very generic fake name and fake client attached to it. Below that, it lists the same fake name and fake client three more times and has some garblediegook about Lorem Ipsum text. I assume this whole section is a website template that was not completed. There are also some dead end links on the site.
There are some inconsistencies in the descriptions of mystery shoppers' jobs on the site. They provide an example intended to differentiate between objective feedback and subjective feedback, pointing out that the objective feedback is what is required. However, they state that the example that provides opinion is the correct assessment.
The link to fill out an application to become a mystery shopper opens a PDF that they want you to fax to them or scan/email to them. It has some inconsistencies in it, which I won't point out since it is intended to be a contract. The things I noted could have been typos, but really look like the product of voice-recognition software gone astray.
Maybe I am being too sensitive, but I get nervous when I am asked to provide a great deal of personal information - like my SS#, date of birth, and current employer's information - and there appear to be potential red flags. I work for some companies that don't use a standard platform like SASSIE or Shopmetrics, and I have noticed small inconsistencies on a website here or there, but I haven't encountered so many in one place.
Can anybody offer additional feedback about this company. If not, can you maybe offer insight into how you decide whether a particular company is legitimate?
