Castforce Merchandiser Beware of volunteer work for Castforce, terrible merchandiser support!!!! Sarasota Florida

Merchandisers BEWARE on wasting your time, gas, and manhours with Castforce.  I signed up with Castforce almost a year ago.  Their website and portal looks pretty cool and inviting.  I took a couple of assignments from them that actually did not pay much, but I scheduled them in a cluster so it can be worth my time and effort. I traveled to do these shops took pictures, spent hours in manhours, travel and gas also inputing the shops. I am noticing that when I submit my shops they are not invoiced to be paid even though it has portals to show you when the next cycle is to be paid.  I waited for over a month and only saw I would be paid for a fraction of the work I did.  I emailed and called the support center.  They claimed they sent me an email that I never recovered that I did not take the picture correctly of the completely reset planogram, so they will not approve and I will not get paid. I was annoyed the first time and thought ok, MY BAD I have to be more precise the next time.  So I wasted gas, time, and cost me money, but at the end of the day Castforce still recieved a reset gondola with a picture and a sign-off from the manager of the store. (Free labor and paid by their client-I was not)mmmmm.  Six months later I said let me try them again, maybe before it was a misunderstanding on my part.  There were resets for $15.00 a store.  The first store it did took me 2 hours(Yikes), but I did not want them to pull the same nonsence so I crossed every T and dotted every I.  Also, after you agreed to do the $15.00 gig they send you an agreement that each reset product cost $20.00.  So they position themselves to get you if you can not complete they project, it will cost you at least $5.00 to every project.

 I've completed 6 project s@ 15.00 ontime.  I see I am only approved for 3 @ $15.00 when I have gone out on 3 separate days for 4-6 hours each day to complete plus coming back home to submit these resets.

Additionally, Castforce is not above board in their practices.  You cannot sneeze or you will find a way to penalized you and they find a reason not to pay you.  They contacted me in August to do a Walmart Harware reset.  They advertised it would be $75.00 for the day.  I immediated inquired how many hours?  They scheduler stated 6-7 probably less.  It would be a team of 4 people to do the reset.  I said well I could be available keep me updated on on the exact hours and times.  I heard nothing until the day before the reset and we had to report at 8am.  I recieved no information, contact or lead for the project.  I emailed him and he said everything was fine, but I still did not have any pertinent  information.  I arrived at Walmart 1 hour away and a 30 mile drive oneway and it is only one other person, no lead and no instructions for a 1000 peg hardware reset that could not be  completed in 6 hours if you had 8 people on the project.  I called and emailed the portal.  No response todate from Castforce, but they called me later that morning and scold me for not leaving the store.  I told that person what happened they immediately backpeddled and said a manager would contact me, but I have not heard anything or a response beingcompensated  or apology for that wasted time, gas and ultimately money out of my pocket.

I am working to make a little money, because that all they offer.  I expect to respected and get paid for my efforts.  If I woanted to volunteer my time I would go up to my childs school allday and give free labor to something that matters.

SHAME on you CASTFORCE!

BEWARE OF CASTFORCE!  I have been BURNED too many times!
