You probably know that everything our co-workers at Consumer Reports test is bought at retail, but did you know that many of these purchases are made by an army of undercover, secret shoppers all around the country? Now CR is recruiting new shoppers in a dozen different metro areas in four states.

Specifically, Consumer Reports is looking for undercover agents in the following areas:
California
• Bay Area
• San Diego
• Los Angeles
• Sacramento

Oregon
• Portland
• Salem
• Eugene
• Corvalis

New York
• NYC
• Buffalo
• Rochester
• Albany

Maryland
• Statewide

CR says the ideal secret shopper is organized, detail-oriented, reliable, flexible, and comfortable with spreadsheets. It’s a freelance contract gig that pays $12/hr and reimburses the shopper for gas mileage.

If you’re interested and live in any of the areas listed above, head over to this page for more information and to apply online or refer a friend.
