You lost me. I don't do anything for them that requires uploading two sets of pictures. On all the stations I do, if you fill every picture slot and hit submit it goes and there is no opportunity to add anything else. Only if one slot is empty do I get the opportunity to go back and double up on some of the pictures if I'd like to, but in no case am I ever required to submit two pictures per slot. I don't understand the report you're discussing.
Four weeks is a long time for them to be coming back for more pictures and I can understand that's disappointing. I haven't had that experience yet. It's tough to go back on anything after a two year layoff. I'm sure it will smooth out for you if you give it a chance. As far as the pay being terrible, I can't agree with that. It's possible to streamline these audits and reports and do well financially on them. If you're thinking they don't pay well enough, I'm thinking you haven't done enough of them to be effective yet. It can get better.

What I meant is the fact that you are required to have 2 photos of pretty much everything. When you go to the photo upload page, there is the little browse box for you to upload qty of 1 photo for each item...ie....1 of the front view, 1 of the forecourt, etc. I got confused because there were not 2 upload boxes for each item. Any other company would have 2 upload boxes per item in this case, but not Maritz. So first you upload 1 photo of each item and then submit and then it lets you upload the second photo for each item. This is what totally confused me at first because I kept wondering how the heck to get the 2nd photo of each item on there. It is ridiculous, in my opinion. Not trying to argue.....just saying that it was tedious compared to any other companies websites. Also, the fact that they want you to go back and take more pictures if they are nit picking as was above mentioned, etc. All of it together, does not seem worth the money any longer as far as I'm concerned. The time involved of doing the audit, taking the photos, going out and taking more photos if needed (many weeks later), submitting everything on the site (after you figure out exactly how this is supposed to go), etc. It was a huge headache. And once again, I'm just stating an opinion based upon what I personally dealt with.

CoffeeQueen-On the phone they told me I had to upload both sets of photos. They want 2 pics per item that is required....ie....overall view, primary ID, front of building, bathrooms, etc. That's what I was told anyways.

Jake, "give me a break" - that's a good one. We should have a tic box for that. And on the go back question, I need a tic box for "are you kidding me?" Seriously, most of my yellow stations are great or close to it but every once in a while I see one that makes me want to throw up. No, I would not return and no, I would not recommend, and yes, I understand the scale.
