Anyone with PAY ISSUES w/CIRRUS MARKETING is CORRECT!!!! This company is very disorganized. The pay takes that long because they take from Peter to pay Paul. They also have these mysterious email accounts with the same person answering them. There are no name associations, such as you see in other mystery shopping companies. At Cirrus Marketing, you don't know who you are going to get and they don't respond with an ACTUAL name. It is all a mystery. In regards to pay, they put out a pay schedule that they themselves NEVER follow. So, if you are supposed to get paid at the end of May, you are lucky if they pay you in June. You have to follow up with payment AT LEAST three times before they get it right. ONLY then, they make such a fuss about payment, as if they got caught with their pants down. ANY SHOPPERS WHO COMPLAIN to CIRRUS MARKETING gets on their "deactivation list." This has happened to several shoppers. This also means they don't get "Invited" to the emails that are sent out about a particular shop. This is OK, since
(a box store) is really the only big account they have. You could look at what they have in other areas, but
(a box store) keeps popping up as their largest account. ONLY IF
(a box store) knew what they were up to.
(a box store) should actually use another more responsible shopping company, instead of CIRRUS MARKETING which neither pays shoppers well OR ON TIME it seems, from complaints received.
(a box store) shops take an average of 3 hours, with reports averaging another 3 hours. Shoppers used to get about $90 (including bonus), now that average is around $65. The payments went down over the years. INTERESTING. Let's say you are getting $70 for this
(a box store) shop, the amount of time you are putting in averages around $11 an hour. This time does not include your drive time to get to the shop and back. As one shopper alluded to in another posting, CIRRUS MARKETING RECRUITS NEW SHOPPERS TO REPLACE THOSE WHO COMPLAINED. This is FACT, not fantasy. There are at least 28 shopper complaints about this and another 54 for payment. YOU ARE ALL RIGHT TO BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY.
(Mod note: Name of the box store removed as it violates Forum rules and probably also your ICA to link an MSC with any of its clientele.)
