Pros

The ability to set your own schedule once jobs are assigned. You must work within the company's parameters but you can work at your own pace.

Cons

Lower pay with no pay raises in the last 4 years. The only way to make more money is to take on more work. Also work can be removed from your schedule with no notice.

Pay is productivity-based. The faster you become, the higher your effective hourly pay rate will be. We regularly review effective wages of our associates as well as market pay levels across the country so that we can stay competitive. The data demands of our clients drive schedules/workloads of our Research Associates. Client needs do change from time to time, which impacts what and where data is collected.

Pros

Work by yourself/no real coworkers that you ever have to interact with. Make your own hours.

Cons

Expected to drive far/a lot for jobs, not always reimbursed for said driving or reimbursement is minimal. Communication is pathetic. The pay is a joke. You get paid different per job, most jobs are piece rate and when you do the math, factoring in time worked, time driving, gas, mileage, car upkeep; it's barely minimum wage. But the way they "math" it out, they tell you you're making $20-30/hr. I started working here in August of 2020. By January of 2021, I was making almost $800/pay and then about a year later, they took a lot of my good paying jobs away and gave them to other employees, because they "lived closer". Within the next year, they cut more and more jobs, with the promise of new jobs to be added, but it never happened. By summer 2022, I was making barely making enough money to pay my bills and had to take on a second job. By summer 2023, I was making a laughable $150-200/mo. The only jobs I was being offered were low-paying long distance jobs. I quit in fall of 2023, because by that point, even the jobs I had weren't covering the gas I was using to get to the job sites.

We strive to hire Research Associates who are in close proximity to the work locations in a market area. The productivity-based pay of in-store auditing is generally much higher per hour than the hourly rate for the task of driving to locations. We are grateful you joined our Team during that first summer of COVID. That was a particularly challenging time for recruiting. In the 3 years that followed we did strive to continue growing the field team and reduce long distance driving for our associates. Thank you for your service. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
