Secret Shopper Jobs

Secret Shopper Jobs are a fun way for people to make extra money and help out large companies. This practice came about as a way for employers to honestly evaluate their staff on various skill sets.

Everybody knows that when the boss is around all employees work extra hard to look good and go above and beyond. However this does not reflect their behavior when no one important is watching them. companies instituted Secret Shopper Jobs as a way for regular people to evaluate their staff.

The way it works is that you get an incentive of a certain amount of money to spend at a specific store. While you shop you rate the location and its staff on all aspects of customer service. After which, you get to keep the goods you purchased in exchange for your evaluation.

There are many online companies that advertise Secret Shopper Jobs but not all of them are legitimate.
Many times they make you pay a membership fee and all they provide you with is a stale database of stores that used to participate. You would still have to call these places up and find out if they have an active program.
Thus, it is important to thoroughly research any company that you are considering signing up with.

Try to find real members reviews about their experience working with that company before you sign up.

There is no reason to ever pay a fee for a list of mystery shopping companies. You can do a google search and find many legitimate companies in a matter of seconds. Mystery shopping is a great way to make some extra cash while visiting places you would have to go, or would want to go, anyway. What I like, is that you only have to apply for/accept the jobs that you want to do and that fit into your schedule.
