Review:
Field Work arranges focus groups in major cities across the U.S., paying good money to participants, but call-ups are rare. If you get chosen for a focus group, you can earn pretty decent pay for giving your opinions — between $35 and $75 per hour. But, you are not going to be called for focus groups every day — not even every month.
And you give up a lot of privacy to qualify. Field Work maintains that it does not share your personal data with anyone, but once you’ve typed it into a database, it’s in a database. Don’t lose your sense of skepticism.
That said, if you don’t care how much the world knows about you — after all, if you’re on social media, everything from your movie and book preferences to your friends and political leanings are in a database somewhere — this isn’t a bad occasional side gig.
You can find similar opportunities at FindFocusGroups; Shifrin-Hayworth, SignUp Direct and Consumer Opinion Services.
What their focus groupies say:
We are seeking comments from people who have participated in Field Work’s focus groups. Our research tells us that you wouldn’t want to be a Field Work office worker. But, whether the focus group participants have had similarly unpleasant experiences is unclear. If you have participated in a focus group with this company, please hit “contact us” and let us know how it went.
