Pros
Flexible work schedule...easy to get this job if you know how to answer the screening questions correctly.
Cons
I can't imagine why some of the people who have been at Gallup for 10-20 years wouldn't try to get a better job. You come to work every day, login to your account, and begin randomly dialing numbers. Usually you will get answering machines, businesses, or numbers that don't work. Out of the people who DO answer, most of them will hang up on you or yell at you for calling them during dinner time. If you do get them to do the surveys, they will realize how boring and superficial they are half-way through and start getting upset that its so long. You aren't allowed to use your common sense, which often leads to irritating respondents even more when you have to ask if that 'oh yeah' is a YES or a NO...or when you have to ask them personal questions and then probe again and again when they say they don't want to answer. God this job sucks. Its basically all high school kids. I also think its ridiculous how childish of an environment is (probably because its high school kids). You literally get monetary incentives for doing crossword puzzles and attending events on a monthly basis. Just a kindergarten-level engagement tactic that management tries to employ.
