I read about this company somewhere else online and wondered if any one has info on them.

Corp website: http://www.caliberinteractions.com/

Here's the SASSIE link:

Thanks for your help!

I've never worked for them but I am signed up. I am always more confident when the company uses a system like Sassie or Prophet, as it shows some credibility.

I've done a few shops for them, and they pay around a month later. I would definitely work for them again!

I've completed a few warehouse club food sampler type shops for them. Simple shops and pay is reliable in about one month after completion.

From what I understand they have been doing a warehouse club for a while but have just added a regional grocery store based in Pittsburgh. From their job board it looks like that grocery store is also doing MS on the in-store demos.

I am signed up for an auditing job for them (will I see anyone in Pittsburgh on Thursday?) and applied for a few mystery shops so I hope they are a stable group.

I did one shop with this company. The survey is much better than the company that shopped them last year.

I haven't been paid yet, it says I will be paid tomorrow. My only complaint is that the job sits at "received" for ages! No comments, no grades; I wait in limbo, wondering if my shop got accepted.

They definitely have a ton right now. The email said 1152 to start with. It looks like 500-600 have been scheduled for that one client.

Personally, I am thrilled I found them. Since Nov 14 I have done 3 shops & 10 audits and already been paid for all of them. The next round (Dec 1 - Dec 12) are scheduled to pay on the 15th. Gotta love the quick turn around time.

I just did my first shop for them, a revealed audit of a display in a retail store. It took me the time the paperwork suggested and the report was a snap to enter. The pay isn't great, but it's refreshing to find a job goes as advertised. :)

Happily shopping

I love this company. I have done several jobs for them and they are fantastic. If you ask them a question they quickly answer you and offer suggestions if things don't seem the way they should be.

The warehouse sampling shops are the only ones they have in my area, but they are definitely easy and paid on a reliable schedule.

I shopped with Daymon, and very recently with Caliber, noticing no difference in contacts, communication or pay/methods/timeliness. Everything has been as said.

I was doing some work for them right when the 'change' went through. I am very sure you won't see any differences because (according to them) the only thing that changed was the name.

Can anyone add recent feedback for this company? They're new to me, and I got an email for a shop that involves getting a grocery discount card (but not being able to use it), fronting $25 for a reward, doing a purchase, revealing with reward if successful, speaking to a manager, and a report with receipt upload. All for $10, which is the minimum amount for the required purchase, so it's reimbursement only. Do I have that right? There are hundreds of them across the country, so lots of people must like these.

I have not seen that particular shop here. However, the ones that I have done where simple and paid on time.
