Field Agent 17+

Easy and kinda fun

I like to do audits for Field Agent. It’s kind of cool being in a position to oversee a stores compliance with certain companies product displays. My first experience with the app went like this: I was on my way home from a meeting and I checked my app and noticed that there was a store like a quarter mile down the street on the way home so I said let’s try this out. I went into the store and I had to look for battery displays it was a little confusing at first figuring out exactly how they wanted me to do things but after the first few sets of pictures I sort of got the hang of it they just want you to have a clear pic of the displays with some surrounding area so they can tell where it is. It’s really simple and I was worried about how long it would take to get paid but I just checked and like three hours after the job I was paid. Thanks field agent. Oh also I kinda got a little too into it. I felt like a secret agent because some stores where I’m from will kick u out if ur filming like certain liquor stores. So it was fun to try and blend in and not get caught haha

Very good, but there are better alternatives

Up until recently, Field Agent was my favorite app for micro work. Ever since I discovered two other very similar apps (one for scavenger hunt type tasks, the other is for taking photo audits of local properties/businesses), the things I dislike about Field Agent are more prominent. In comparison to the other two, the pay with Field Agent is $1-2 less per task and more importantly the time to get paid per task and cash out time is painfully slow. With the other two apps, pay is typically same day or next day and cash out is almost always instant (and definitely always same day). With Field Agent, it takes about 5-6 days to get paid for each task and an additional 5-6 days from time of cash out until actually receiving the funds. Despite all that, I still always check Field Agent on a daily basis; as the tasks are easy, quick, and rarely is a task rejected. For context, I’ve been using Field Agent for approximately two years now. Lifetime earnings add up to $295 for Field Agent. The two aforementioned similar apps I’ve mentioned I’ve only been using for about two months. Year to date earnings = $310. Overall, I still enjoy Field Agent very much but wish they would catch up to the other apps in their category in terms of PayPal cash outs and also amount paid per task.

Great app and system

I love the app and it’s by far the most well managed and efficient process I’ve seen for this type of assignment work. But I gave it a 3 star because like some of the reviews before me had mentioned, they DO NOT PAY ENOUGH FOR THE ASSIGNMENTS! It’s actually quite insulting the rate of money they expect us to be okay with. There are some as low as $2-$3 and the assignment could easily take 30-45 mins to complete especially including travel time and gas money to get to the store. Home Depot and Lowe’s jobs pay $3 and they want around 20 pictures and 60 questions answered sometimes. It’s sad actually because myself and many others are desperate for cash so we can’t refuse work even though it’s so obvious that companies are taking advantage of us by not being fair and sticking to equal pay for equal work. These assignments should be at least $10-$20 each one depending on what the requirements are and how many pictures taken. I agree with the reviewer that said they should pay $5 each picture/5 questions answered. These companies are saving so much money by hiring people like us for pennies instead of having a regular worker with benefits and all the good perks that come with permanent jobs. The least they can do is pay us fairly for our time. If Field Agent starts paying us equal pay for equal work, I would give them a 5 star perfect review and recommend to people all the time. Thank you for reading.
