Pros

flexible work hours; nice gym; cafeteria is very good and cheap; everyone gets an office pretty much regardless of level; kitchens

Cons

I was hired in a senior position and was then put in an office and not given any work or management responsibilities, despite the discussions of such during the job interview. I had a very bad experience here.

Pros

It is good for those straight out of college and looking for work experience

Cons

The culture is to pamper employees with higher degrees. If you have above a bachelor's you will go further in this company

Pros

- Excellent paid training program for Field Interviewers - Good hourly pay plus mileage - Ability to work without direct supervision - Flexibility of your schedule/hours - Room for growth?

Cons

- Must be available to work any hour of the day or night and any day of the week, including weekends - Company tells you to say interviews (for this particular study) takes 1 1/2 hours to complete, but they actually take anywhere from 2 - 4 hours to complete. - No real concern for Field Interviewers' safety in the field. - No benefits available (that I'm aware of) for Field Interviewers
