Pros

"Free" food and a whole lot of trouble.

Cons

I'm not going to waste my time trashing the company and owner's conduct since plenty of people have already done it for me. What I will say is it's sketchy that nothing but horror stories have been posted on this page for what looks like two years and now there's a bunch of positive reviews up within a few days. Not to mention childish responses to every negative review. Watch out.

Glassdoor anonymity allows people to hide without fear of consequence. The commonality of those who posted negatively of our company is the inability to follow instructions and/or write up to standards, and took constructive feedback personally rather than as a tool to improve upon their work. As we were just introduced to Glassdoor and its anonymous postings, as per Glassdoor's suggestion, we reached out to our mystery shoppers so they may express themselves. Each is written by a distinct individual which Glassdoor vetted to ensure authenticity. Though anonymous, we deduced whom initial negative postings were written by: by viewing the date and content of the complaints, which coincide with a particular final assignment by a particular person and the issues they had falling below our standards. Two individuals deleted their initial postings and are repeatedly accusing our company of posing as reviewers. Marc Kravitz, i-SPY hospitality

Pros

I guess free food, not really. I tried some good food I guess but it wasn't worth all of the hassle.

Cons

The employer is so hard on other people and treats them like idiots for not meeting the smallest details in their rambling instructions but doesn't know that it is "constructive criticism" is not "constructively criticism." Hmmmmm

This mystery shopper had one tryout assignment that was unusable due to very poor writing skills and their inability to follow detailed instructions, and then became very angry when this was communicated both in writing and verbally -- in an attempt to help them -- and chose not to resubmit the report.

Pros

Go with friends to the area's best restaurants and try a lot of different dishes for free. Learn about how to improve the accuracy of your descriptions and strengthen your writing overall. Make some extra money.

Cons

Drafting summaries of restaurant experience can take a few hours.
