Acrobat Research

A typical day at work as a Interviewer includes being told the projects your being put into, the flow rate (amount of completed survey's a hour) and if your being put into any other projects later. 
The main things you learn with Acrobat research is..Patience, and dealing with Irate customers. 
The Co-Workers you have are all very nice people. The hardest part of the job is doing hour-long surveys with people and trying to get them to complete it.
The most enjoyable part is doing surveys with people who like to joke around.

A typical day at work would include getting briefed on a new project or survey for 10-60 minutes, than calling households all across the country and continent to perform surveys.
I learned excellent customer service skills and how to multitask.
Co-workers were the best part of the job. They were all more than friendly and helpful.
The most difficult part of the job was having to deal with families during private family time, as they weren't up to taking phone surveys and often upset getting such calls.

It is a very productive job, you get the survey when you can, you can't get them all the time, but a very stressful job.  I learned that not everyone you called was very nice to you, very rude, they would swear at you. Management some of them were okay, others treated you like you were a child and needed to be told how to act. my co-workers were awesome. I most enjoyable part of the job when a interviewee was nice to you and you made someones day by chatting with them.

This is a work from home evening job . Working hours is flexible . They have set their system in our own computer since they close their office on Yonge and Sheppard . When we have system problem we can contact the management online and they will help solving it . The most hardest part of this job is when people hang up on me and yell at me when they have no time for this survey . And the most enjoyable part is when people willing to complete the survey .

A normal day at work would consist of me getting my headset, walking to see my survey number and sitting down in my cubical preparing for the day. Once I get my computer fired up and everything working I begin making phone calls too entice people into completing a survey. The work wasn't always hard just frustrated sometimes when you needed to reach a quota for the day and you didn't make it.

Salary is competitive. friendly work environment. Nice colleague. 
During this short-term role, conducted field-based research in order to gather quantitative data for clients including Fortune 500 and other companies. Obtained data through interviews and surveys with members of the public. Compiled gathered data into concise and accurate reports, and notably streamlined the data collection process.

Callers are constantly harassed by the people they call. The job relies heavily on people being willing to take the surveys, and on days with low production (not enough surveys being complete) callers are often written up. This leads to cancelled shifts if the write ups continue and, eventually, termination of employment. There was nothing good about this minimum wage job.

A typical day would start by arriving, and swiping into the project you are assigned to that night. Then you would dial until the end of shift/you were removed/ or the project ended. 
The hardest part of the job was it was quite boring at times and monotonous. The most enjoyable part of the job was you were pretty much left to do the job yourself and trusted to do it properly.

Working at Acrobat was not my typical type of work but it was in fact a decent work place with great people, all though hours were all over due to the amount of "surveys" that have been completed per the hour it was maintainable.

You basically get paid to get abused all day, people tell you off like crazy. If you don't get enough surveys after 3 hours you get sent home early.  Only good for work experience on your resume that's about it. You'll hate it.
