Just wondering what people think are the best mystery shopping companies to work for, got experience of GFK, Gapbuster, Retail Eyes, Tern and Grassroots.

im in kent and its showing up in my local town suddenly this afternoon - i guess its a new wave of work??? the work is to be done in a supermarket for another company..... i was hoping other people could let me know if its as bad as it sounds before i take it.

I had to do this a few months ago - when I got there I couldn't order a hot meal as they'd sold out!

The brief said if this was to happen then just to go and not bother with the Audit and fill the relevant details in which took two minutes - I was asked if I could do it another time but couldn't in that wave - still got paid - I don't think there is too much work involved for the fee though would still take a while, once you've had a meal etc, but it is a straightforward Audit.:D

Took them about 3 weeks from me completing the test visit to getting my login.

JediTeacher,

I did some TNS car shops about 18 months ago, and although I think that the remuneration has fallen considerably, the content remains similar. I ended up visiting each dealership twice, spending about an hour each time (mine included test drives, although I don't think the later ones do). IMHO, the fee I've seen offered for the latest ones is somewhat derisory IF you have to do two visits - remember, not only do you have to research the car(s) you're shopping, you also have to negotiate confidently and genuinely, handle all the follow up calls etc - it's quite a lot of work. If you'd like any more details, just PM me.
