Mystery shopper reward is 50€ for employee which achieves over 95% but I haven’t got nothing.

Pros

Not too hard job. Good colleagues. I’m thinking what else should I write for five minutes...

Cons

Minimum wage, no sick leave, no benefits, no reward for being great seller when masters shopper comes but there is a sign that you’ll earn 50€ if you achieve over 95% with mystery shopper. Achieved 99%-was said they don’t give it acctually. Regular minimum wage salary is benefit. Or is it?
