I can't bring up anything on them with the search, just wondering what people think and do you work for them often? I used to and am getting back to it - I really like the property / biz audits.

Around me it seems the only thing they have are the low paying ink audits.

Perhaps I'm not seeing the property/biz audits because I let my qualifications lapse? Or because I'm seeing those types of shops being offered in the WeGoLook and other Apps?

Make sure you ask for PAD if you request a shop or you'll work for peanuts.
With minor effort you could have found a thread already going with this company and some comments.

Avoid. Shops are super low paying, their editors are inexperienced and silly and you can find many, many other options for making money with other MSAs.
I ask for PAD almost all the time. I do a lot of business verifications and repo lots. Each of us has to make the decision of what is worth doing. When I get the PAD I ask for, I complete the assignment. If they don't approve my PAD request, I of course don't do it.

I like the ink mystery shops. I always ask for PAD. Most times, I am in the area anyway.
Oh YEAH, that is the only reason I am willing to do them - I request higher amounts and often don't get assigned but that is ok. I plan them around other jobs / tasks so my gas is paid for.
I do have an issue with how SLOW they are to review requests, half the time I have to cancel the request because my willingness to go the distance has now passed (and the due date has too). You would think that jobs that need to be done asap or by TODAY would get looked at.
I realize that higher PAD jobs would be chosen last - but it is obvious nobody is taking these jobs.
Minor effort??
You mean like scrolling back past 2017 posts, because that is what I did.
Something that old will not be relevant - therefore the new post.
I use the same strategy, but I hate that unless I delete a request they sometimes approve it 5-7 days later when I will no longer want to do it. Cancelling an assigned job is worse than cancelling a request in my book.

I did ask about that and was told to contact the scheduler (there is none listed on the jobs) because they can usually extend the job or to contact general support. I don't want to do that every time I apply for an assignment ...arrgh.
Why don't they just review and approve or decline before the expiration dates (which are often only 2 days out so yeah ...)
the fee is very low and some shops actualy audits. I am not doing any audits for anyone.

I don't mind audits, as long as you know the scope and the amount of items that have to be checked. It is all in knowing ahead of time. Some of these companies are pretty darned sneaky about minimizing the time/effort involved. If I can't view the survey in advance then it is usually a no-go.
One of the first companies that kept me busy, patient with my errors, and respectful communication. I continue to complete shops with them.
Always ask for PAD! I got a text today asking if I'd do one of the audits at a nearby Walmart. I asked for an extra $20 PAD and it was approved! I'll be doing it in two weeks.
I want to tell you to avoid them, because they are my favorite MSC.
I like doing their revealed audits and usually get paid well for them.
I don't currently have much competition, and I would like to keep it that way smiling smiley
