BARE International Anmeldelser 

I have worked with Bare since 2014, and I'm happy with that cooperation. Good source of additional income, you only apply for whatever shops you like, there is no minimum shops needed to stay active.

I would advise not to waste time and effort with this company.
Take ages to pay and the guidelines were not clear.
I have been working with a lot of MS companies and always prepare my scenario well. Recently I got an assignment from Bare and I checked the scenario. I then performed the visit and to my horror the scenario has changed when I tried to fill in my report. I contacted them and has been told the scenario was for the month before. There is no logical explanation why I would have access to the last month scenario except they forgot to update it.

All the reviews from other people are similar to my experience with this company. If I could give 0 stars, I would. They would make you chase after the money you worked for and cut the pay when you have clearly done the visit to the brief. Unlike other companies, there is no clear date when you will get paid from this company.
I did the visits in SEPTEMBER and it is now the end of November, still not paid. I have sent the final email requesting payment but not working for them again. This company is so unprofessional and no integrity.

Avoid them, they don’t reimburse and I get the feeling they’re pocketing the cash.

Completed efficiently quite a few assignments for this company and although they take a while to pay you (as per their T&C) I eventually got paid.
Not any more. .....seems other evaluators are having the same issue.....is the company having financial issues?
Assignments completed successfully in May finally got paid at the end of August and after many many emails going backwards and forwards. And they take ages to reply to emails. I received the email from them saying the payment had been processed via PayPal but I never received it. After querying many times they came up with the flimsy excuse that the payment was declined by PayPal. After speaking to PayPal it was clear that there are no issues with my account and Bare is just making up stories. Asked so many times for evidence of the declined payment, but I never received it.
Finally got paid! And guess what? Exactly the same is now happening with another payment.
Really not worth the hassle to earn a few pounds! If you are interested in this type of work please sign up with other similar companies....they pay promptlyunlike Bare International.

I have had issues today. Spent a long time preparing, reading and re-reading brief, gathered loose change, went to various shops spending small amounts to gain £5 notes as not available at cashpoint. Dressed appropriately. Queried one aspect of assignment that was not clear. Received email. Rang venue. Told restaurant closed. Pushed for further information. Told I could order food at bar but restaurant closed for private function. Unsure what to do. Did not want to have assignment classed as invalid after spending a large amount, transport costs and time wasted. Set off to venue. After 1+ hour bus journey advised to return in the evening when restaurant open. No mention of extra time/costs. Asked for bus fare at least. Not referred to. Asked to re-book for September. My fault, I should of prepared earlier however would of taken same amount of time. Restaurant could be closed anytime at short notice. Sickness, power cut, last minute function. Had I enquired yesterday and told restaurant open and arrived and it was closed would of been told I should of rang today. If Abandoned would not be happy due to today's deadline. I consistently get 10/10 for one company and excellent feedback from another. I give 110% to all assignments. No UK phone number, Facebook provided automated response. Time, energy, money wasted. Deleted website. Will put effort, time and expenses into companies who are contactable Monday to Friday and give clear instructions and do not criticise efforts. I should of read reviews earlier I would not of bothered agreeing to this and not wasted cash or a full day preparing and travelling.

Made me conduct 2 audits back to back and excluded both despite conducting visit in pouring rain and completing the audit. Payment given less than 50% for filmsy reasons. Have conducted many audits rating is 9 always but their high-handedness and attitude is seriously a question mark. Oh ofcourse Saturday Sunday they are not available.

After not working for this company for a few years, I thought things might have changed, however I am being cheated out of payment.

I was assigned a visit, whereby I had to arrange an appointment before visiting. I made 6 calls to arrange the appointment, but the agent did not answer.

I was persuaded to make more calls to arrange an appointment. No where in the brief does it specify payment would not be made if an appointment cannot be arranged. It only says payment would be withheld if you do not contact them after 3 failed attempts, and I did contact them and I was provided with a new number to call

Now they are refusing to pay. Why are they going against the contract? There was no mention of payment not being made if a visit could not be made. They did not even stipulate payment would be halved if a visit could not be arranged. Instead they kept making me make calls. This is a blatant breach of contract. I fulfilled my obligations of the contract and I am rightfully due payment, yet this dishonest company are trying to scam me out of money I am due. Beware!!

i made a test for them, paying for the meal out of own pocket. didnt receive anything.

Don’t pay and never answer but they want you to make everything in the 24 hours or less.

It’s been more than 3 months

Tried to contact my manager and she never responded any messages.

Don’t do it. It’s not worth it.

I never had problems with payments or my field supervisor.

Said that, we are penalized by the evaluators for issues beyond our control during the work we realized being paid 50% of the agreed fee. Not right and not fair.

I had previously written a poor review as I had not received payment for two jobs I had completed. After several emails back and forth I have now received both of the payment I was due. I have retracted the previous review and written this one

They ended up workIng very hard to ensure the payment due to me was paid. I appreciate the due diligence, and can admit when I am wrong. Thank you April, and Sandra🙏😊

I have done a few mystery food visits for BARE in September and was told I get paid at the end of the following month. 2 months later I have not been paid and no one is replying to my emails.

Very disappointed in how unprofessional it has been with pay considering I helped out on shops with less than a day notice.

Je travaille en freelance pour Bare International depuis près de 3 ans. Avant cela j'avais teste pratiquement toutes les autres firmes de Mistery Shopping en Belgique. Et c'est seulement chez Bare que j'ai trouvé des missions assez nombreuses et fréquentes pour en faire un job régulier. Bien sûr, ce genre de job ne vous rendra pas riche. Mais comme complément pour un retraite, par exemple, c'est très valable. La société est sérieuse, paie dans les délais et j'ai un excellent contact avec la hiérarchie locale. Mon regret : tous mes contacts sont via internet, je n'ai jamais rencontre les gens avec qui je travaille.

Je me bats depuis des mois pour être payé des visites et avances de frais que j'ai effectué pour les visites.
Grosse arnaque et perte de temps avec cette jihane et sa collègue dont je peux prononcer son prénom les représentantes pour la France mais situé au luxembourg !
Il se targue de " qualité - innovation passion " alors que c 'est tous le contraire font travailler leurs ami(e)s à elles . Et si vous pensez leur dire ce que vous pensez elle reset votre compte . Quelle escroquerie , les paiements chez eux ne sont jamais déclarer, frauder le fisc pour eux . A fuir cette bande de ....
