Done a fair amount of projects over the years, mostly merchandising stuff. Haven't seen much if any from them for quite some time.

I'm familiar with Intouch Insight both on Sassie and ISS, but I have never heard of Consumer Insight.

When I did a web search for them I found this web page.

That's the one that does annual Red cellular audit/advertisement checkup. This MSC is cool and legit by my experience so far, whenever I asked questions they response back quickly. Jobs are easy They pay on time as well

Yes, I have worked for them for years off and on. Currently doing more, mostly merchandising gas station type jobs (inside - prepaid cards) and novelty toy assignments.
They are legit and steady and I agree they are quick to respond to questions which to me is crucial for working with a company, especially those where you can create your own route work and need to know sooner rather than later.
The only thing that would improve working with them would be faster pay (pays late in the month afterward) and having self-assign ability.

I think he is asking about "The consumer Insight" and "Customer Impact"?

I've worked for them for a few years and am currently doing several assignments for TCI. They are easy to work and communicate with and pay as stated usually within or less than 30 days.

Most of what I've done for The Consumer Insight has been revealed merchandising assignments involving placing POP material. There have been a few covert assignments over the years. In my area, the assignments are few and far between, although I did make some good money earlier this year on a series of visits to the orange home improvement store for a water conditioning company.

TCI is legitimate and pays as promised. I've never had any issues with them.

Heard of, yes. Worked for, no. They do apartment evaluations, and that's not in my wheelhouse.

Only apartment complexes and they do bonus. I think the most I've gotten was $45 to start and once a bonus of $75. Bonuses to $55-60 are fairly common as they usually sit.

I find their reports very repetitive. Honestly providing narrative to some of the things they want it for, well stupid. Did they do this. No, please explain. "No the agent did not ask if I had a pet".

And it's been a while but they want plenty of pictures too. Of the pool, of the workout area, of the apartment etc. I find those easy enough to get because I just say I want to take pictures to remind me of the complex as I'm shopping around.

Then there's the required questions to determine if they discriminate against certain demographics, which I understand why you are required to ask.

I did mattress store shops for them last year. I am probably, going to do more shortly.

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008

TCI hasn't had any shops in my area of New England in the past year or more, but I have done a number of shops for them. Mostly it was checking and taking pictures of bicycle displays in one big box store, and another was updating the stickers on appliances in a different big box store (they sent me the new stickers beforehand). They don't pay big bucks, but the assignments were very easy and I was paid somewhere around 10 to 14 days after submitting the shop in Sassie. If they had more in my area, I'd work for them again.

They are owned by the T-Roc merchandising, retail branding and consulting firm. The login and/or sign up link is here: [www.sassieshop.com] I've done a good bit of work for them over the years.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

Yup.

Been doing apartment shops on and off for them over the years. Currently have 3 video shops for next week bonused to $300 each.

Their online implementation is pretty bad. Currently only 1 of the 3 assigned phone numbers from the above mentioned shops is correct.

As others have mentioned, the report form is repetitive, and I find their site to be rife with navigation issues.

yep, I did a LOT of apartment shops for them, especially back in CA. Not so much since I moved to AL. They pay well, and the shops are pretty simple, even the video shops. But there is sometimes a lot of narrative involved.
