Full review

I have been doing mystery shopping for some time now and one of the companies I work for is Tern Consultancy, although you are classed as self employed when working for them, however I find that this is a good thing as therefore you are not taxed on your earnings.
Here are some benefits I have found whilst working for the company.

TYES OF JOBS AVAILABLE

I find that the types of jobs I am offered are many and varied from optical clients, to jewellers, to airports, and retail shops. The variety of jobs on offer makes the job more interesting.

PAYMENT

As far as payment is concerned I find that Tern Consultancy pay me the most from all other employers, The least I have ever received for a job was £12 and the most £15. Obviously when only spending 10/20 minutes doing a mystery shop I find that this is an excellent payment.

REIMBURSEMENTS

Tern Consultancy reimburse you fully ie:

Travel- based on car mielage and also bus fare.
Other expenses, if you brought something for the visit.
Sometimes even postal cost for sending the item back if it is bulky.

VISITS AVAILABLE

Obviously there are not regular weekly mystery shopping jobs available however if you are willing to travel or have a car you can conduct vivist up to 30 miles away from your area, therefore you are more likely to get regular visits.

REPORTS

After you have finished the visit you must fill in the report, before this was a written report which you would then send throught the post. Now however you can do this online, the payment request however does need to be sent throught the post. Tern consultancy pay you via a cheque after the 8th of the month, others such as GFK NOP pay straight into your bank account. I however do not mind the cheque.

CONTACTING TERN CONSULTSCY

Another reason I like working for them is the great customer service all my emails receive replies. Aslo you will receive notification of assignents available via email, so be sure to check daily.
