Pros
None that I can see except maybe for them, they will take the work that you've done and the expenses that you have accumulated and not to pay you back. But most assuredly they are getting paid by the client. It's a win-win for them, not for you
Cons
After doing several mystery shops for this company I was informed that I would have to give them my banking account information in order to get paid. The routing numbers add account numbers so that they could put in and most importantly withdrawal money is at their discretion. If they had informed me beforehand but this then I wouldn't have done business with this company but then I suppose that's how their scheme works.
Continue readingSomeone (not from our company) has seriously misled you. The purpose of our moving from mailing checks (taking many days to arrive) to electronic banking was so we can pay you faster. You control what happens with your account. We do not.
- Former Contractor, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I sent an email to the CEO and he said that he contacted the scheduler and her boss to rectify this situation but I never heard back from anyone and that has been several months ago!
Cons
First of all, they do not have many assignments in my area. I had performed a few shops for them and never a problem and then got a dishonest scheduler that lowered my rating. I had accepted an assignment with them and was given the wrong log in info. So I cancelled the shop & the scheduler lowered my rating. Although, I do not really get hung up on ratings. Although, I'm signed up with over forty different mystery shopping companies and my ratings have always been a 9 or 10. I'm very seriously thinking about deactivating my account with them! Sorry, but I won't miss them!

Pros
A flexible choice in schedule, simple work, reliable assignments and friendly staff.
Cons
Assignments don’t always pay the best and there can be droughts in terms of available jobs. Hours can also be long for what feels like minimal pay.

Appreciate your feedback. It's a buyers market for MS services while the economy recovers. We always respect the role of the IC in our offerings. You are the backbone of our industry.
- Current Contractor, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
They have good clients worldwide.
Cons
Their payment scheme is terrible. They will deduct the bank/transfer fees at the end of each month from the earned payment. It's their responsibility to cover those fees.

In most countries, as of 2022, we have or are changing out "eval payment firms" to the newer technology ones, that take a lesser bite from us both. Apologies it has taken this long.

Pros
lots of mystery shop jobs advertised all of the time....
Cons
They give you guidelines to complete the mystery shop. You are told that your quality of pictures must be of a certain quality and at a certain angle - BUT here's the thing... You are told that no shadows or other obstructions must occur in the picture of the product that you need to send in. Get this.... you try to take the picture but no matter where you stand and try to take it, you get a shadow. You go outdoors, indoors - you turn on a light in the room and you get a shadow. The sun is in your way, you get a shadow. You do the best you can to submit the BEST quality photo based on their guidelines and you get a rejection. This is after spending your hard earned free time AND MONEY!! I have lost €40 in cash alone from 2 shops and won't get paid for my time. I could live with the not getting paid for my time, but NEVER AGAIN will I shop for this crowd as they'll scam you.

Pros
Worked them as mystery shopper for 2 years with 92% average ratings for more than 300 shops. Working for them is like casino. It depends upon your luck. If your luck is bad, you could end up losing your hard earned money and time.
Cons
Most of the staff working here who works on get in & get out basis. If your luck is bad & staff misguide you or provide wrong information on audits then you are screwed up. Because payment comes after 2 months and there is no guarantee that staff who brief you will be there. Hard part is that you can not even complain about it. Managers here are no less than watchman you will find on municipality offices. They just deny every wrong doing even if you have proofs. Suffer heavy loss because of these scumbags despite clear mistake from their staff.

Pros
possibility to earn extra money as any freelance job empowers
Cons
- very bad interaction between the branches of the company, particularly between the accounting department and managers - payments for jobs done with huge delays: 1-2 months - They don't pay the full some. Ask to wait another month, which turned into 2 months and then again don't pay the full some. - the problems with payment are not a single case. The same happens with my friend who also cooperates with Bare International

Pros
Since I commenced in January 2016 I have now done 15 Assignments and feel very proud to be associated with Bare International. The money is excellent and I am benefiting well with the current exchange rate.Payment has been very swift and I cannot complain. I must admit that I am enjoying being a Mystery Shopper.
Cons
Feedback time of submissions can be improved.

Pros
I have been working with Bare International from a few months, when I lost my job. I have excellent experience working with them not only in terms for getting jobs and earning good money, but they also understand the complexity of being a mystery shopper.
Cons
From mid-December to end February, it's very much quite. So difficult to rely on it.

Pros
My entry into the magical world of Mystery Shopping was with Bare in 2007 in India. It's been 3 years since I am doing Mystery Shopping in Dubai with Bare and the most important thing I must say is their promptness in payment which has remained intact since 8 years and that calls for a Kudos to the entire team! I must specify about the response that I received from the Project Head ( I think so) Pratibha Jagannathan; she was outstanding and very professional in her approach. I give her a WOW rating :) Great job done!
Cons
I think the shopper fees can be increased and at many times the travel expense also be paid especially in India I guess. Also there are very few visits in UAE which can be enhanced as Dubai is known as the Universal Hub and there are increased chances; giving the opportunity for mystery shoppers like us.
