CRG GLOBAL INC

Is this the wrong place? I relocated for a promotion here & didn't get it, went homeless, still recovering. I was forced to fake surveys my first month, regulars were telling me what they do there. I read the policy, corporate was cheating the clients and respondents. I just ended up cleaning and being extremely quick and efficient with certain surveys, instead of what they tell me to do. I did my location manager's training, at times, and go paid a little extra~ I didn't have a place to go in the states, I'm not from there, but I did work with 2 sisters, who insisted everything is going to be alright. So, after my relocation back to WA, Location Manager gave away my promotion to a new employee, and insisted I milk the clock. Feeling out of place and like that was a set-up, I took off early that day, and started looking for other jobs. I was living with her, she kicked me out, I was homeless, all because I didn't want to lie to the people and or milk the company's money. I guess it's safe to say I developed another family there, and that's just my culture talking, I didn't know that business was like that; until the 2nd or 3rd year when I started backing out of participating in whatever that was. I'm still unsure of how to go about these things, I'm sure corporate is wrong somewhere, I'm just not that educated about things that shouldn't exist.

This company is great for Market Research and paid studies. Here as an employee, you interact with respondents all day. Crg Global is a fast pace company growing quickly in the US.

A typical workday is full of surprises. You clock in and start interviewing customers because there is already a line at the door when you start. 

Here I learned how to work with diverse customers and accept different cultures and their needs in the consumer market. 

The hardest part of the job is dealing with customers who want more pay for work undone. The pay is set and incentives are not cash. However, we accommodate the customer but make sure there is and understanding of procedure as well.

The most enjoyable part is the feedback we get from consumers. To read and understand their response to products before they are released to the public, epic. Things to make you go wow, hmm, ohhh and so much more.

If you are energetic, enjoy people and new products, this job is for you.

I loved this place because i worked with lots of staff. We got to meet a lot of people and interact with various age groups. Pay was great and was able to work flexible hours. Insurance was optional and I had fun for the most part. Typical day would be me coming in early and setting up a quota log where the recruiters would look for specifics and recruit them to do surveys. I was also in charge of talking to Project managers as well as Clients on specifics of what they wanted or needed me to do throughout the day. I would then require my staff to make sure to meet deadlines as well as bonuses that were offered to staff that brought in the most people. Hardest part for me was the long stressful hours that i had to mentally deal with. But the most enjoyable was the respect and dedication i put into this position. I felt important to CEO and Corporate Bosses.

A typical day at CRG Global involves walking up to random people and asking if they want to do a survey for a few dollars. The whole setup is sordid — you’re often expected to lie about someone’s age, race, or ethnicity just to get them through.

The “training” is basically non-existent. You’re thrown into the job with little to no guidance or support, and if you can’t get people to participate—which often isn’t your fault—the blame always falls on you. Management is disorganized, constantly shifting pressure onto recruiters, and has no real regard for ethics.

Turnover is ridiculously high. Most people quit or are let go within weeks. They’re constantly hiring because no one wants to stay. There’s no stability, no proper support, and no future here.

If you’re in a tough spot financially, you might be able to tolerate it for a month or two — but the second you can leave, run.


Corporate will not communicate with each other, much less us. They assigned us two contradicting surveys and each project manager had no idea that we were already dealing with a major alcohol study involving a well paying client! After begging they finally agreed to move some of the studies around, since the current client was very important. We're often given strange or impossible quotas, and the surveys themselves can be extremely esoteric, enough so that running out of respondents who qualify is a common issue we face. 

It is also a very clique-y, since it's such a small office. If a coworker dislikes you, they'll make sure to make you miserable and since it's hard to keep anyone around, discipline is very rare.

We're chronically understaffed, and frequently rely on 1099s, especially for the larger studies. If you notice them frequently calling for new employees, it's not because they're growing it's because they burn through employees fast.

Honestly, it will likely go down as the best career I've ever had. Beyond the nonsense that is micro management the job itself is amazing. It presents you with such a diverse day to day grind you actually become so entangled you forget its a job. 

There has been a lot of transition in head management which has led to a different sort of environment. Too many non executive types with executive type power. I would go back in a minute though. 

On the whole they do good work in an industry that is wrought with change and doubt. The corporate staff is really easy to deal with however the middle managers are not good for profits. 

It is a stress filled sort of place.

Ongoing behavioral challenges created safety concerns, especially during public outings. The oldest child’s suspensions and substance use, along with younger children’s meltdowns and aggression, made supervision difficult without consistent support. Role expectations frequently changed, including expanded duties, schedule extensions, and increased transportation needs beyond agreed hours. Communication around scheduling was inconsistent. Additionally, repeated dog bites raised serious safety concerns. Overall, these issues made the position unsustainable.

I really like that you get to meet all different kinds of people and work with the district managers.

A typical day for me at work would be working closely with management to recruit and interview people for each study. Once that is done we bring out what there studying and go through a series of questions with them.

The hardest part of my job is the down time when no one wants to do these surveys.

The most enjoyable part of my job would be that I get to be apart of a research company and see how they arrive at there conclusion.

Poor work environment. Management skills were terrible. Got verbally abused by new manager that took over for another one who left. Everything went downhill after she left. I came in for the relaxed atmosphere but then quickly changed and we were told not to do things anymore. One of the call agents would hoard all her people and call them HER people when they weren't. I will NEVER work there again. And she was bossy all the time and she wasn't even the boss! 

*Typical day was to recruit respondents for studies and answering our e-mails.
*I learned that this company doesn't care about the employees or if the retain them for any length of time.
*Work place culture didn't exist at this office,
*Had to recruit so many respondents for a study and recruit them even if they didn't qualify and recruit the same people using a different alias.
*Recruiting respondents that actually qualified and them being happy to evaluate a product.
