Wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

Pros

The only positive is that it is a unique industry. You get to see and test products that are not on the market yet, so it is cool to see products you once worked on out on the market. There is room to grow if you want to because positions open up very often.

Cons

CRG borderlines on abuse of their employees. Everyone is over-worked, under-paid, and under-appreciated. The entire company is unorganized which makes daily tasks an absolute mess. Nobody speaks to each other. Instead they email back and forth to make sure everything said is on record in case it comes back to bite them. Mary Cunningham could not care less about her employees and treats them like dirt. She makes it a point to show all employees that she is better than them and only cares about the dollars in her pocket. I don't know of a single employee that enjoys their job, and someone quits at least once a week. IF you do take a job here, make sure you negotiate salary when you are hired because they will promise you reviews and raises that never happen. A note to clients -- BEWARE, 75% of the data you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for is faked by management. On a regular basis, they completely fabricate data because studies aren't completed, as site locations are overloaded with unattainable requests. The moral and ethical boundaries of this company are nonexistent. Lying to employees and clients is commonplace. Features are offered to clients that don't even actually exist. CRG is a joke.

The longest work week for the littlest pay

Pros

This is a fun place to work if you're a high schooler. Getting to see and try new products before they hit the market is exciting and you can definitely feel like an "insider" at times. However they pay full time employees next to nothing.

Cons

I was working 80+ hours a week for next to nothing as an office manager. They don't care about their employees in the least and will fire you in a moment's notice for no reason at all. All of this so that Mary Cunningham can buy Hummers for her kids and continue being an overall terrible person. Additionally, they are notorious for fabricating the data they provide to clients. In other words, they make up fake people and submit survey data with their names when doing ACTUAL work is either too difficult or time consuming. Nielson Group - take note...half of those movie trailer surveys are made up. A horrid, disgusting hollow shell of a company.

Pros

Pay more than most employers in the area

Cons

Management leads by fear. Employees are disposable - they will fire entire departments without warning. Their motto is "if they won't find someone who will" Be prepared to be overworked and underpaid. No long term sustainibility because they are going down in flames due to mismanagement. The more imcompetent employees are in the highest positions and blatantly sleep around - no moral obligations to their spouses.
