I saw that Cirrus is posting here for their storage audits. I want to caution people from doing these for them. The pay is the same in different markets - $45. That is nowhere close to how much this shop should pay given the time involved to do the shop. I've done these shops for them and got double and have seen them offer even more. Of course the real trick is getting paid by those folks! Am I right.

• There is a video you have to watch and then take a test to make sure you understand the material. It takes around an hour to look at the video, take the test, and get the results so you are green lit to proceed.

• Depending on the size of the facility, you are obligated to stay on site for a minimum amount of time -- expect 90 minutes to 150 minutes is what most facilities will put you at.

• Report time. This is difficult to estimate since you could enter some information on site, but I do recall a physical copy of a checklist.

If you are doing your first storage audit with them, then it could easily take north of 4 hours. Unless they changed things, you have to wait for a passcode to get access to the site to enter the report which is more time wasted. If you are doing more than one location, then you don't have to worry about that hour of studying and taking the test.

You can see just given those estimates that you are at $10/hour and it is going to take longer than the estimate because you are most likely going to waste time chasing them down for your pay.

Consider this. When I did a storage shop, the long time employee asked a very poignant question - why do they always send someone new? If it were a great paying gig, then you would expect that the same person would shop it every time. It just isn't the case.

Enough people on here have posted about issues with getting paid and hearing the silly excuses that they come up with.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm sort of just avoiding the whole company at this point due to their convoluted payment processing times, but something like 5-6 hours just seems like a full time job instead of some side gig and then the waiting game to see if it even gets accepted is a higher risk than most of the other jobs.

Awesome you are putting the word out. Thanks!

Oh no

Hard pass.

Yesterday I had an interesting look into how they do things after reading through something like five pages of shocking Yelp reviews. I ended up sending an Email to Debbie Depew once again stating that they were behind, but this time for payment which was already two weeks past due on two of my assignments and asked her to remit payment to the accounts payable team. I then contacted ISS support and let them know that Cirrus was in breach of contract with several people being that the MSP states 45 days after completion as long as the assignment was accepted. I did leave a one star Yelp review for them, and followed it with a BBB complaint which doesn't match their Yelp reviews being A+ and no complaints on BBB and 1 star on Yelp with a novels worth of them not paying. About two hours later I received a notification that all four assignments were paid out! I went back on ISS to see if there were any other shops waiting to be picked up and noticed the one company missing was... you guessed it Cirrus! I asked my friend to look on her profile just off a hunch and sure enough, Cirrus after paying out unfriended me and blocked me on ISS so I can't see their posts anymore. So if you do the work, you don't get paid. If you demand payment, you get paid and they block you and go look for someone else that won't do anything and continue to not pay out.

My history with Cirrus:

4x Apartment shops

1x Took two months to be accepted and in the payment pending

2x 15+ days late getting paid

Demanded payment and now they don't want to be my friend anymore.
