Cirrus training model broken?

Signed up for storage shop and requested training. Shop was in one week. I requested the training twice, project manager requested once on my behalf because she has a shop deadline. Shop was supposed to be today, i never heard from training dept. Dont they care about servicing their clients on time? Not my problem, but quite inconvenient trying to be flexible for a full week for one training session and a bit angry to miss a larger shop fe because the company is inadequate in deadline awareness.

you know what else is broken? their bank account!

Has anybody actually done one of these storage audits? There are a few bonused locations available, but I worry that they are more involved that advertised. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I did one of their storage unit audits. To my surprise, it was quite reasonable. I accepted it once it was bonused, but it was really not bad. Each location is done once every few years (according to a long-time manager at one of the facilities). I went to a good location with very few problem cases or situations.

Thank you, myst4au. About how long would you say that they take?

I was in and out in 2:40. It could have been about 40 minutes shorter, but since I had never done one of these audits before, I checked everything on my instructions a second and then a third time to make sure that I hadn't missed anything. Considering how onerous the mystery shops for the furniture store are, I was really leery of accepting this storage location audit. I have never done one of the furniture store mystery shops based upon comments in this forum, but I would gladly do another one of these. Apparently one for the same location won't turn up for years, but I am keeping my eye out for other nearby locations.

Edited to add in the 2 hours that I overlooked when I quickly looked at my PDF file the first time. If I had looked at the entire PDF file, I would have seen the photos of the clock I had to photograph at the beginning and end of the visit and attach to the report.

Wow. That's quick. I wonder if the guidelines have changed. There is now a note saying that they expect at least two hours on site. They say that audits with less time won't be accepted.

Teri -

I looked at the PDF file I kept of the report again, and realized that I "lost" two hours when I glanced at the report earlier to report on the time it took me. Your comment caused me to go back and look for closely, and there is a place for elapsed time, and the elapsed time was 2 hours and 40 minutes. Somehow, I focused on the 40 minutes I spent making sure that everything was covered. I have edited my previous post to try to avoid confusing others. I still consider it to have been a reasonable shop. I could have been out in 2 hours.

Thanks for the clarification. I have one scheduled for this week, so we'll see how it goes.

How was it Teri? I am thinking of signing up for one.
