I have just accepted my first Retail Active assignment. This is the first MS company I have dealt with

Prepare to be extremely disappointed then. Retail Active are a complete joke.

They pay you in Smarties, so worry not about the quality and accuracy of the report. I'd suggest extracting as much urine out of them as possible, before they do it to you.

There was a discussion on here the other day debating the quality of a report being in line with the fee offered. And a lot of people thought the same amount of effort should be put in to each report, no matter the fee. But no, not with Retail Active. They suck, so only the bare minimum should be put into their assignments and reports.

Saying that though, Mimi1234 loves 'em more than Jordan loves unwanted attention from the press!!

Now now DPJ. I only "like" them because they give me petrol (the report makes REACTs report look like war and peace when they had this client) and reimburse me for posh shirts (RM pay less than half the reimbursement and expect you to chit chat for ages and check the fitting rooms etc etc). The rest of the visits I would not even look at.

How's the new house going? Any tips for a first time buyer?

A whole 4 and you can't keep track of them? The best thing to do is wait until the next pay run and see if both added together makes up what you are owed

I did not say I can. not keep track the payments don't match what they should be. As there's nothing to show what is what God there's some !!! holes on here.!! One being you dpjames

If your bank does the same as mine, when RA pay something in, there will be some letters next to the payment, which you can usually work out what each payment is for.

Just back from doing my first 3 MS ever! Was very good

whitelabel

have you done the report yet ?

waiti till you have, then dealt with queries, then waited a month for payment to check if youve been paid right.

then you can decide if its very good or not

May I ask if anyone knows how to stop TNS emails (I don't want to stop working for them altogether as I am interested in the trains, so don't want to tell them where to go yet)? I am sick and tired of them asking me about 10 times a day if I have a mortgage or not.

Hey thanks! It was good, glad to have actually finally managed to do my first few jobs. Was a bit nervous on the first one but the rest were easy
