I finally threw in the towel today and filed an official complaint with the Department of Labor regarding this company. I am posting here as a warning to potential shoppers and as public view to members of Bare Corporate who persue this board.
1. Bare claims to have mailed me a check over a month ago for $140 but it was never received. The other companies I work for pay via Paypal. Emails have gone banck and forth with Tabitha changing the check info each time. Today I was told I either had to pay them $30 to stop payment on the check or wait 6 months for the check to be resiisued. I also spoke with Kimberly who confirmed that the check was not cashed and that the $30 extortion fee is company policy. Hopefully, the Dept of Labor will explain to them how illegal that policy is.
2. In addition, they owe me for at least 10 other jobs.
3. The schedulers don't answer their emails. I had a Pandora job that was scheduled for a day that the shop was closed. I sent the scheduler, kgriffin, at least 5 emails asking her what to do. I wanted to do the shop. She never responded to any of my emails. There isn't anything you can do if the scheduler does not reespond. I was given a score of 1 out of 10 for not completeing the shop. (Your score affects your ability to get other jobs). I didn't expect to be paid on the job but I did expect the scheduler to do their job and reschedule it so that I could complete it..
4. The Coup d'etat was yestrday when I was accused of fraud by Cindy Scneider. She deactivated my account and cancelled my future jobs. She went so far as to say, "We will let you know if further action will be taken" There was no email or discusion first and she did not respond to any of my emails about it. This job required me to lay out a significant amount of my own cash. I followed the guidelines supplied for the assignment and I attached a copfy of them to my request for payment to the Dept of Labor.
I hope that everyone reading this decides to fight back as well. If you followed the guideslines, they have to pay you. They cannot change the rules to suit themselves.
Perhaps Bare should pay another company to mystery shop their own employees.
