1. would spend 8 hours driving around a day to different audits, extremely stressful trying to find locations/find parking, area manager would promise the audits were close together but they be 40 minute drives from each other and from my house and I'd be assigned 10-12 a day - pay worked out less than minimum wage because of how long it would take, only 20p a mile for petrol so I was basically spending money to give this company free work, not worth it at all and extremely tiresome, intimidating and stressful driving in areas you don't know for hours on end 2. if you forgot one thing from your audit like to take a photo of the store/get a receipt/remember a name badge/someone else in your house answered the front door even though the delivery was an hour early you wouldn't be paid. it is so wrong that such a successful company would rather let their young staff take the financial burden whether that be £1.50 or £20 for their audits if there is one slight error. so on top of driving around all day, exhausted, humiliated, stressed and emotional, when you got home and had to upload all the reports, when you realised you'd forgotten something like to take a photo of the shop but you have the receipt as proof you were there, you realised you weren't going to be paid and neither were your expenses. 3. UNDERPAID SLAVE LABOUR !!!!!!!!!! you spend more money than you earn for this company. you'd typically be paid £3/4 an audit required to spend at least £1.50 on an alcoholic beverage which comes out of your pay. so in total you'd take home £1/2 an audit, or you'd just spend exactly what you were paid and take nothing home, or even spend your own money if there was nothing cheap enough - not worth the hassle and stress 4. put in intimidating, embarrassing situations - how is an 18 year old girl not meant to stick out like a sore thumb in a betting shop or arcade? middle aged men would laugh and stare at me, including the staff - sent to scary, dodgy pubs in rough areas 5. delivery audits are the only ones that are okay, stay in all day/for a time slot waiting for a delivery which has its benefits (especially if its a grocery or deliveroo one as a student as expenses are covered). however, if you're waiting on a delivery all day and it comes in the. evening, you've been trapped inside all day, stressed about not getting anyone else answer the front door and your reward is getting paid £3 and a bottle of Prosecco that will be paid for by expenses 2 weeks later. but again, if one simple thing goes wrong and your mum or housemate accidentally opens the door before you, you won't get paid and you've just spent £10 that you wouldn't have spent otherwise - again, not worth it
