Description of Business:
Mystery Shoppers America has been in existence since 2002 and been rated #1 for three consecutive years by the Consumer Journal. The company provides a 30-day trial and allows you a refund within that time if you are not satisfied. The referral service they provide includes 184 active companies in a database which can be accessed at any time by members. Clicking on the visitor tag of the sites homepage will give you a complete overview of what a mystery shopper does, travel requirements, and how to get jobs. Since companies contract with mystery shoppers, the pay for this job is not established.
Pros:
1. Work hours are very flexible.
2. Job allows you to socialize while you are working.
3. Long term relationships can be formed with your clients that lead to more steady work.
Cons:

3. Before becoming highly proficient you will have a learning curve that will require some extra effort and possibly training.
