While they do clearly state their lengthy pay cycle, my problem with them is that more times than not I have to chase them for my money, extending the already industry-leading payout period.
I was actually shocked when I received my payment for July on November 1! At $168 it was a nice little bump to start the month.
Will I continue to shop for them? Sure. I know what I'm getting into, and the number one thing I like about mystery shopping is having accounts receivable out there. As long as something is flowing in each month, I'm good.
Unfortunately I have shopped just about every apartment location they offer in my area, so I have to wait out the 365 day cycle. I'm also being a bit more picky overall about the shopping I do these days, so I will usually wait for a bonus to be posted before I request a shop. They have one scheduler, best I can tell, and I have always had excellent communication with her. I feel confident that I always have a good shot at getting the locations I request.
