I've done this for about 2 months and the best advice I can give you is to be patient and make sure you do the shops that assigned to you. Request as many as you can and don't shy away from the low dollar shops. They add up. Prism seems to pay quickly. ARC is picky about the reports, but the coordinator has offered suggestions to refine my reports. I've also had a good experience with 360 Relay
Michael H. from ARC is fantastic. I asked for feedback on my reports and he was happy to give it.
Be patient. Sometimes it's takes a lot of requests before you get assigned a shop.
Personally though I've read a few people's opinion on the more expensive college shops and don't really think it's worth the hassle. Call their advisor people and show interest. Wait a day or two for a follow up, then respond back in another day or two with another question or two so it's like three to five days worth of calls and Emails where I can complete one vehicle, an apartment or an audit in a day or two and make the same is not more and don't need to be checking my Email or waiting for a call back.
Completely agree. The college shops are a pain and not worth the money, IMHO. I personally love doing senior living shops and bank shops. They seem to be the best rate of pay for the time spent
