I could not stand the phone call reports that paid well but were not recorded and basiclly expected a legal transcript of the call. It would take 20 minutes on the phone with a yappy decorator and then another 45 to get the report good enough, and then I would get snippy editor comments back. I told the scheduler (who is no longer there) that despite my great relationship with her, I just was NOT INTERESTED in their shops. Still the invites came, and I did not deactivate myself as you never know when someone might get a client that owuld make that PITA worth it to me. Now, new scheduler, desperate emails, tons of Sassie shopper reachouts and other shopper reachouts...and I still am saying no.
It seems in other parts of the contry they offer more interesting shops than they have ever had here.
