What's going on with Stericycle?

June 17, 2016 05:04PM
I tried to pick up some weekend jobs with Stericycle, and noticed that their job board has zero jobs. Not just zero jobs in my state, but zero across the entire United States. I also looked at their phone shops, and received the same results.

Since signing up with them in 2007 when it was known as CORI, I've never seen their job board having zero jobs, especially during the middle of the month. Does anyone know if they have gone to a new reporting platform such as Shopmetrics or Sassie?

I have tons of gas station jobs listed in my area. I did a shop last week and it was the same reporting system. Their website doesn't look any different to me. Perhaps they were having a glitch when you last checked?

I just checked it now just in case there was a glitch. So far, no jobs in the entire United States, as well as nothing under phone shops, jobs requiring qualification, and jobs as back-up. I even tried the drop down boxes for Canada and Mexico. Mexico had nothing, yet Canada had two jobs in the entire country. So you mean to tell me that in mid-June, there are only two jobs in all of North America for Stericycle?

I see dozens within 30 miles of my zip code. This is the login page I use: [www2.mysteryshops.com]?

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008

I see 79 within my 30 mile radius. Just got home from completing one. Same way of reporting - nothing new.

What I'd like to know is where all their clients went. [client name deleted] is with bumbling Maritz (don't get me started! ) and while there are plenty of gas station and car wash shops, virtually no retail. I stopped working for them for a year, and when I came back, couldn't believe the difference.

Mod note: It is against forum rules and an ICA violation to link the client with the MSC. Please refer to the posting guidelines before posting.

On Stericycle, I have not seen the "teen-age t-shirt and matching clothes" shop for over a year. I used to do so many of them! It is a great place to buy gifts for that age group. Does anyone out there in Shoppingland know if they'll be back? Signed, Night Owl at 12:03 AM.

I've given up on this MSC. All the emails I have received concerned shops elsewhere.

I loved these shops, too. No telling if they will be back. I'll sure do them if they come back. The company has closed half their stores in my area and they filed for bankruptcy in May. Some stores remain open for business and the company says it will reemerge after negotiating financial issues.

I count at least 8 clients currently available on their job boards, and I only looked in a hand-full of Zips.

I'm confused about Stericycle.......I have TWO different login sites....one is THIS one, which lets me in with my usual ID & Password:

[smweb.expert.stericycle.com]
====================================================
The OTHER login site is also SUPPOSED to be for Stericycle, but LOOKS DIFFERENT, and WON'T LET ME IN with my usual Stericycle ID & Password!! It is the link below, and you'll notice that the LINK does NOT have "Stericycle" in it, like the link above does, but instead the link says "mysteryshops.com". But when you click the link, the opening page DOES have the word "Stericycle" in it, but looks totally different from the link above! When I enter my regular Stericycle ID & Password, like I do in the one above, I get this message:
We're sorry. Your account has been terminated. Please contact status@mysteryshops.com for more information.

[www2.mysteryshops.com]
====================================================
Are these TWO DIFFERENT companies???? I HAVE emailed "status@mysteryshops.com", but have not heard from them yet.

Thanks for any help you can give me to understand the differences!!

I don't remember what the previous company was for your first log in. The second was Corporate Research International. Both were purchased by Stericycle and rebranded so both are legitimate. The Service Manager site is primarily product retrieval while the mysteryshops.com is mostly just mystery shops. AFAIK, they never used the same login credentials and I have different usernames and passwords for each site.

The old Corporate Research site has never played well with anything other than IE. I just used your link and noticed the site now emphatically says it is only compatible with IE and a PC.

LisaSTL,

Well, your reply answers most of my questions, I do believe!! I remember many moons ago that I was signed up with CORI, and believe I only did one job with them. And you're right about the Stericycle site that does work for me....it only shows product retrieval.....which is why I have never been able to see any of the job board that so many of you here have referred to!!

So, I'll wait and see if I ever get a reply to my email...it's been about 48 hours. But at least now I understand what's going on.....thanks so much!!!

Doughnut store inside car wash place at #1 which also sell gas and has pizza place inside possibly one mentioned in #9. I found 2 locations of that ice cream shop they used to have all over the country still shoped by them. I also found another Convience store in NH they shop. But they are down big time from even a few years ago.
