Fieldwork Schaumburg Client

Sep 2023

Fieldwork is my favorite place to participate in research studies. There are so many different topics but you must qualify based on their metrics. I would recommend you to visit their website and sign up for notifications of new research. The compensation offered is more than fair being that you get to see new products before they come to consumers.

Confusing to get into the location and wasn't able to get directions from the staff.... once I was finally in the correct parking garage I had to locate security to direct me to the correct elevator to find their office.Got sent home because they overbooked. So thats that.

I love doing focus groups. I'm happy to sell my opinion! But in addition to that, I actually do find most of these studies or market research subjects interesting. It's kind of cool to see how companies, institutions, firms, etc. gauge what people are thinking in hopes of either improving their product, understanding constituents' thoughts, bringing something new to market, or what have you.Parking is free in the covered lot, even though the lot has the mechanical arms for entrance and exit; you don't have to pull a ticket, just wait for it to allow you entrance. There's a pedestrian walkway on the second level of the parking lot. To get to Fieldwork, you can enter the building from the walkway, take a right past the security desk and then right again to make your way to the elevator bank (make sure to use the one for the correct floor--elevators go from 1-10 and 11-20).The Fieldwork office itself is clean and comfortable. Once you check in for your study you'll grab your name tag and wait for the study to begin. Don't be late, or you may not get to participate and/or may not be paid for the study, and similarly don't take extra long breaks or anything--you're there for a specific purpose, and if you're not doing what you signed up for you're putting your compensation at risk. There's often some sort of light snack, water, or something available for folks as they wait or during breaks. Depending upon the length and time of your study, you might be given a light meal; for instance, I was here for a four hour study from 5-9 pm and they gave us sandwiches and chips from Jimmy John's. Jimmy John's sucks, of course, but what can you do? It was sufficient for a meal and made it easier for me than having to figure out when I was going to eat before 5 or after 9.I was a tiny bit confused about where to go when I got here, even though I've been to Schaumburg plenty of times and knew the general vicinity of where this building would be. I'd definitely recommend planning to get here about 20 minutes early just to make sure you can find your way, get in a bathroom break, and make sure you're on time. I received the compensation for my study within 24 hours (they say to allow up to 48 for it to be sent to the email you provided). It is pretty annoying that all these companies no longer pay in cash but only by some sort of digital or prepaid card; however, the one that Fieldwork uses gave me the option to either get a digital code for online-only use, or a physical card, or to have it deposited in my bank account, the last of which would deduct a small fee from the amount of the card. For me it was worth it to lose a couple bucks to just have it transferred to my bank account rather than having to keep track of or try to spend a digital card/code (it's amazing how few online merchants take more than one form of payment, so trying to spend the whole thing especially when you get to the end can be a pain).
