Biggest problem company!

Well said Flash. CR Is a good place to pick up some basic skills. What little they pay, they pay like clockwork. Many in my area have boycotted the low pay. As a result, their shops only get done near the end of the month, when the pay jumps. And yes, there are still some that jump on the low paying shops. Hopefully they will see the light...winking smiley

PS: Sooner or later you will have a run in with one of their editors. I have had several. Used their mediator, won and made a permanent enemy....

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.

I have made some decent money with them in the past, but I rarely do anything for them any more. I never really had run ins with them, but then I haven't done that many of their jobs. When stuff gets grabbed as soon as it is posted there is no point in signing up to be a 'backup shopper' since the fee you will be offered and expected to take is what the original fool agreed to do it for.

I agree. Regardless of the job, or the pay, if a shop is accepted, it should be done accurately.

I sometimes accept pittance-paying shops, for different reasons - no other choices, I've got the time, I'm in the neighborhood. I complete all shops the same, regardless of the paycheck.

I signed up with them, but the jobs that I have seen listed only paid $5.00. Also, they take a fee out for paypal. So I will not accept any assignments from them. There are too many other companies that use paypal and do not charge a fee. Also, $5.00 pay is an insult for retail shops.

The nice thing about this company is that they will raise your rate if you are someone they know they can depend on. I LOVE working for them at the end of the month. I have been paid 10x the regular rate for a job that they needed done within 24 to 48 hours. They have always paid me within 7-10 days and if you have a checking account they will direct deposit your money for free.

They are very newbie friendly. If you stick with MSing over the long haul, you will find they are a great place for newbies and, when bonused well enough, might have some jobs to keep you interested later on.
