You don't hear much from them, very little feedback, very little communication. All communication is by e-mail, which I like. They pay right when they are supposed to pay every month. I've been shopping them for 19 months. Shops are not self-assign; they e-mail you with available dates and locations and you e-mail back your availability and which location you prefer. They e-mail you the assignment. They only have a grocery chain here and they put out weekly shops at each grocery location. Shops are usually posted about the first week of the month. I like them.

I love them. And, I have had a phone number for last minute questions at one time, if I remember correctly. I have done 3-5 shops per month for them for about four years. The pay and reimbursements are very fair for the amount of work. They pay on time.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

I love their permanently bonused food shops.

They are a cheap paying company. It is not only until the last of the month do they up the ante on their shops. It is insulting to go through their job shops and see what they pay. Come on $3.00 to go out and do a Light Sign shop, to see if all the lights are working, plus take pictures for proof you were there. Then come home and do the online report also. The same is true for their gas station shops, and they want 7-11 pics taken of various parts of the store part and outside appearance. Oh yes this is to be done unrevealed. They pay $5.00 for Kmart and Bed Bath and Beyond plus they want you to make a $3-$5 dollar purchase. They have so many Papa Johns Pizza shops its unreal. Now thats where I dare you to take a look and see all thats involved with those shops. You will see what I mean.
Gave them a "flake" rating also, and ended my contract with them.

Seibahbah, I think you are thinking about CORI, which is a different commpany than CRG.

Why are you discussing CoRI in this thread?

seibahbah, you have your companies confused. Consumer Research Group does not have the clients you reference above and do not work in the manner you are describing.

And that is why? Because only Corporate Research does the clients I mentioned? No one else does the gas station shops, or Papa Johns or Kmart, Bed Bath & ? Certainly not MF,Certified,TS to mention a few? You stand to correct me without a doubt and know the clients only use the same Consumer Research Companies, never any additionals.
Sorry then its easy to make such an error,living in a small town (Los Angeles/Orange County,Riverside,San Diego) we miss out on alot.

WTF?

Again all I can say is wow!

I have notified Jacob. This 'person's behavior here is just ridiculous. Indeed we have ourselves a troll. Ignore it and it won't go away. Jacob needs to wield his magic eraser.
