Secret Shopper
Jobs are a fun way for people to make
extra money and help out large companies.
This practice came about as a way for
employers to honestly evaluate their staff
on various skill sets.
Everybody knows that when the boss is
around all employees work extra hard to look
good and go above and beyond. However
this does not reflect their behavior when no
one important is watching them. Thus,
companies instituted Secret Shopper Jobs as
a way for regular people to evaluate their
staff.
The way it works is that you get an
incentive of a certain amount of money to
spend at a specific store. While you
shop you rate the location and its staff on
all aspects of customer service. After
which, you get to keep the goods you
purchased in exchange for your evaluation.
There are many online companies that
advertise Secret Shopper Jobs but not all of
them are legitimate. Many times they
make you pay a membership fee and all they
provide you with is a stale database of
stores that used to participate. You
would still have to call these places up and
find out if they have an active program.
Thus, it is important to thoroughly
research any company that you are
considering signing up with. Try to
find real members reviews about their
experience working with that company before
you sign up.

I just cald an ad listed in local paper as "shoppers" the company is "shopper service". The intake process was easy enough, the operator is selling a trial offer for 14 days. You pay $1.95 to sign up access website for listings and get the trainig to shop, you then use the service/list for 14 days pay, if interested pay $19.95. They are claiming $50 compensation per shopping experience. Does this sound to good to be true??? The website was created "2008" no BBB logo...

Another downside about secret shoppers is the ones who are actually going to the stores "rating the service" are not actually fair in their ratings, they lie and exagerate for just a few dollars since the may get paid $5 to $20 per shop, without thinking that with their untruthful comments they are putting at risk the job for hard retail workers, I have actually witnessed an ocassion where my associate was been secret shopped and did all was trained to do and still, very rude, unpolite "customer" gave a bad rating on custumer service.

I hope that C.F. Management service is a real company because if it not the BBB will be told about them.

NOT WORTH THE TIME OR GAS- BY THE TIME YOU REGISTER FOR 50+ SHOPPER SITES YOU THEN CROSS YOUR FINGERS THAT YOU WILL EVEN GET CHOSEN FOR THE "SHOP". THERE IS ALWAYS THE SHOPS AVAILABLE THAT PAY A BIG $5, BUT BY THE TIME YOU GO, SHOP AND FILL OUT YOUR REPORT OR FINDINGS(ALSO A PAIN AND VERY TIME CONSUMING) ITS NOT WORTH IT. I HAVE EVEN HAD A REPORT THAT I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON REJECTED AND NOT PAID BY THE COMPANY BECAUSE OF WRITING DOWN 1 ITEM INCORRECTLY ON THE REPORT. YOU MAY MAKE ABOUT 1-2 DOLLARS AN HOUR....YOUR TIME IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN THAT......

One downside to the secret shopper jobs is that in order to get these jobs, you have to individually sign up for each company that handles these "shops". There are literally hundreds of these companies that contract with retailers. Sometimes the sign up process is quite tedious with "shopper tests" and online forms. So, there is a lot of initial investment of your time. Once you sign up, some of them WILL email you a list of available jobs. Also, unless you live in a large city with lots of retailers, you probably won't have many jobs to choose from. You also have to weigh out the cost of gas, the time you spend on the shop, AND the time you spend on the computer reporting your findings. To me, it's just not worth the time and trouble for the low fees that are offered.
