Hi all - I'm hoping for some feedback about this company and if they are worth it before I sign a contract with them.

This company has been recruiting heavily on FB, saying they need dedicated people (and they give a long list of requirements, such as you must be able to work a minimum of 2 hours per day, 5 consecutive days per week, might have to use your own credit card to make repeated $15-$25 purchases and wait a minimum of 45-50 days for reimbursement, and so on) for an ongoing project that would pay $600 EUR a month (currently $705 USD).

Since I would love to add another steady project to my list, I've invested significant time and effort interviewing, studying, submitting personal ID for background, reading and submitting materials and then having a "briefing session" in order to participate in the project.

After I got the contract, I saw that the work is actually paid once per month based upon completion of lots of individual assignments and the fees for each are SUPER low (barely over $1 in some cases). And I was told there is a limit of 4 per day and 10 per week that can be completed. If even 1/3 of them are the dollar-a-holler assignments, I can't see any way to reach the promised monthly figure.

Maybe I concerned for no reason.
Perhaps the 10 hours per week requirement wasn't real (though I've found that most MSCs grossly underestimate the amount of time it takes to complete assignments.)
Perhaps the cheapo ones don't take much time, the reports are also super easy and the volume of work will be increased overall as time goes on.
Maybe I can balance it out if I'm allowed to choose which assignments to do and I focus primarily on the higher paying ($12 EUR) ones. (I'm not certain that is an option. It seems I'll get assigned a list and have to do what is assigned if I want to stay on the project.)

Or, since some of the work must be done during business hours, it could just mean forfeiting higher pay assignments to commit to this project.

I would like to make sure I am headed in the right direction before signing any agreements for this. Does anyone have any experience that can speak to this?

I can't guess the French speakers, unless it is Albatross or ISC?

I wonder if they are including the reimbursed products in that $600 EUR a month?
Are the items that you would be buying useful to you?
If you are only doing 4/day, can you work them around other jobs in the right areas, making it worthwhile?

I like working from a big list, since it allows you to add-on other jobs, making it a great day instead of an average day.

Thanks, SoCal.

The company's name consists of three initials starting with B.

They are not including the reimbursements in the total because no product may be kept. Every product has to be returned or sent to their charity with documentation.

I'm supposed to be able to use their credit card to make the purchases, but they also made it clear that this might not always work and if it doesn't, then I am required to use my own credit or debit card for payment in order to successfully complete the assignment.

It is sounding less appealing then. They aren't paying you to do returns or to mail anything?
(I'll have to look at the list to figure out the MSC).
ETA - can't even figure out the MSC, so it's safe to say I have no feedback on them at all.

You ARE allowed to name the MSC as long as you do not name the client(s). We might be able to help you if we knew which MSC.

Okay, it's BVA.

Never heard of this company, but from experience working with French companies and people in the past, expect them to be stubborn and basically have to bend to their every whim (sometimes not even stated, they like to go silent when it benefits them) to get paid.

Oh yeah - I've shopped for BVA. Got paid, but not a frequent shopper with them. I'd bow out as soon as I read, "they also made it clear that this might not always work and if it doesn't, then I am required to use my own credit or debit card for payment in order to successfully complete the assignment.".
