I see the fake 'five star' reviewers are out in force. With the best will in the world, there is no way this company... would rank a five with anyone who has worked with them. Not unless they are bribed or paid cheerleaders.I have worked with them for about 4-5 years but only because I was a full time mystery shopper and they had a lot of evening gigs, which made good fillers. If it hadn't been for that, I would have ditched them a long time ago. Over the years, I've had numerous issues with them. Mainly poorly written briefs, staff who cheated me out of promised fee levels to complete jobs I'd legitimately cancelled in good time. Staff are impossible to get hold of by phone. The only thing I can say in their favour is that they do pay on time. But I must add that the work involved for each assignment is far in excess of the fee levels offered. The worst thing about them I only discovered recently. On one mystery shopping forum during lock-down they've been self promoting as a company that wants to engage with freelance shoppers to get feedback on their performance with them - to help them improve relationship with mystery shoppers. During that time they also set out what their criteria was for earning Platinum status (self assign) was (something I was not aware of until three days ago). Self assign is a handy benefit if you need to quickly grab work during times you have other work in a specific catchment to avoid competing and waiting to hear if you've been given a job. The criteria, it seems, was over 60 per cent report grading, no failed visits, and you had taken up work with them within the past three months. If you failed on any of those, status was removed but reviewed within three months.Considering I had far exceeded this criteria I asked them why I was not assigned this status nor ever had it considered. Yet I never got a straight answer and they still won't assign it to me - despite having over 80 per cent average on my report and taking on regular work with them which they either ask me to take up due to cancelled visits from other shoppers or because I had applied for the work. So I told them straight: they either assign me this Platinum self assign status - to match the same level playing field of other shoppers far less reputable that I am who do have it - or I stop working with them. They just agreed I should go. There's loyalty for you. Oh, I forgot to mention that I had been one of their Shoppers of the Month too a few years back. Fat lot of good that did me!The only reason I was discriminated against for self assign status could only have been because I had given them loads of feedback on what were problems clearly emanating from them, and they didn't like it. Yet they now claim they welcome feedback video conferencing sessions with their mystery shoppers during lock-down. None of whom are likely to say anything useful at all for fear of getting on their bad side, or if they do say anything, it will merely be a repeat of everything I have already told them about on numerous occasions in the past. I am now reporting them to the MSPA for unfair business practices. Their treatment of me has been nothing short of shocking! A real kick in the teeth for years of good work, loyalty and bailing them out when other mystery shoppers cancelled work. In short, they can't be trusted.read more

If I could give 0 stars, this would be the company I’d give it to.The staff seem to be unhappy, leave messages and... no one gets back to you. Try to contact again, promised callback which never happen.The operation manager is rude, not sure how she’s a manager. Very aggressive and speaks down to you.They let go of great staff, no surprise there’s a high turnover.Do not work for this company as a shopperread more
