Words to the Wise on Corporate Research International...

Have you signed up with certified field associates? They have a lot of merchandising assignments in my area.

They have hardly anything in my area unfortunately. I've done maybe 3 or 4 assignments in 2012 for them. They also tend to have a lot of client cancelled assignments, which is always frustrating when I'm trying to build a route.
amie, look at the official list of mystery shopping companies since there are 9 threads on certified right now. I thought opinions varied a bit, but are not the best.

yeah, i was just told on an email that my recent reports were marked in their "herring report"...which means my integrity question was not answered corrrectly. I asked for which report and they said they could not give that infor since it would compromise the shop audits. I said, "wait, who are you auditing me or them?" The staff is rude and not easy to work with. I had a death in the family(and I know they hear it all the time) and they docked me down 1 whole point for asking for an extension since I had takent the job 1 month earliers--but they posted it that early. I have done over 400 shops for them and I think it is time to end out long relationship--and I don't think they care either
Are you talking about Corporate Research International? I'm not aware of being able to schedule a month in advance and whenever there has been an emergency a reschedule has been possible.

they let you book some shops in advance, for instance, I can book August gas shops if I want. All at base fee. Only the first 3 days of the month they can be scheduled for.

It was unusual to be able to get an assignment weeks earlier. I found the scheduler difficult and condisending. Not friendly at all. She put her number on the email correspondense so I thought it would be ok to call her--but felt it was definitely not a good move.

This company pays fast but has low paying jobs. They are one of the only ones that i work with that charges you for the paypal fee. I work for over 60 companies and none but them have this fee forwarded to us.


it is these things that add up to issues that you don't get with other companies.
Companies with PayPal as the only payment do not charge a fee. CORI and Second to None both charge for PayPal, but also offer a free option of direct deposit.

I have had great relationships with a lot of schedulers there. I can only think of one that was a PITA. Makes me wonder if that was the same one.
