Pros:
Trendsource is a very large mystery shopping company, and accordingly has many shops in most areas.
The website makes it simple to see available assignments as well as backup
assignments, and you can request PAD (distance pay) for shops too far away to
normally consider. Trendsource will occasionally offer large bonuses for
last-minute shops.
Outstanding for the industry, Trendsource pays very quickly, with payouts twice each month. They answer questions quickly and their website is very easy to use and understand.
Cons:
The pay for some shops is on the low side, but the forms are typically very easy and quick to fill out
so the actual time investment is comparatively average with other companies.
Trendsource only hires shoppers when needed in an area, so it may take a little while before you are accepted. Keep an eye out for emails with last-minute shops as this is the easiest way to get in.
