How's the pay? :P

Thing called teams (How many hours you worked) mine was 9.75 at 100 percent capacity (quota) but hardly got paid that. Minimum wage increased in my state is probably more now.

Who pays for Gallup's services and how does that affect the questions asked and results disclosed?

A lot of companies will pay them to do polls. I did a lot of bank calls where we would ask about their experience, other stuff like that. I'm also sure they get something from media will all their data being publicized but I'm not sure.

1) What is your work environment like? Any targets to hit, any way to make an extra buck or two? 2) Which co-worker do you hate the most, and why? 3) Is this a means to an end, or is poll-taker your dream come true?

1.) I am paid entirely on a quota-based system. The more work I get done (the more people I take entirely through a survey to the end) the more I get paid. If I want to make more money, I just have to talk to more people before I go home. 2.) I don't really hate anyone that I work with. 3.) We have a very generous tuition reimbursement program. I'm a college student so having a flexible job that pays relatively well plus some of my tuition is exactly what I need. No this is not my dream come true, though.

Is "Poll Taker" your real job title?

My official job title is interviewer but people in general would know my job as poll taker.

Do you ever get any pressure from the managers to ask slightly leading questions or fiddle with the data, or is it very strictly controlled?

HELL no. There are a few things we pride ourselves on. Being absolutely unbiased is one of them and maintaining the respondents' confidentiality is another.

What's your response rate ?

It varies by study but I think 1% ish for things like political polling and maybe 10-15% if we are calling on behalf of one of our clients looking for a person by name. Those are just guesses by the way, we track those figures for sure, but I don't usually see them.

What's the Gallup Poll?

We are a technically consulting firm that specializes in market research. We have clients that hire us to do research through interviews but we also do this same type of research through phone interviewing to gather data on America's (and the world's) opinions and preferences.
