A wild and crazy place.

Pros

They don't check references and almost anyone can get a job there and add phone experience to their resume. It's only 28-34 hours a week which works out well for students and others who don't want 40 hours. Some of the people are nice.

Cons

The upper management is verbally abusive and fires people without good reason. The place is very disorganized and the work is very stressful. Some of the people are sleazy and project their own weaknesses on to others. You have to watch your back.

Fieldwork Dallas Office is the worst place to work

Pros

Fieldwork Dallas is always hiring hostesses. If you are in college and need a part-time job and have hostess experience or customer service experience then you have a chance of getting a hostess position at Fieldwork Dallas. They pay between $10 and $12.

Cons

This office cannot keep employees because the senior staff is so rude and over bearing. The staff will talk to you as if you are beneath them and blow up your mistakes. The training is not sufficient. They expect you to learn how to set up a recording system in two days. They expect you to know how to arrange a fruit tray, as if you are a food sculptor. If you dare mess up, you will not live it down. The upper management at Fieldwork Dallas has mood swings and blows up at everything. They are not approachable. There were more arguments between staff because the supervisors would put us against each other.

Pros

Everyone is really nice, you get to meet a lot of people and get experience in the marketing/business world. If you're good at networking its a great place since hundreds of different businesses use our services. I've met several local company presidents just from working here. Its interesting to see what companies are working on, although you can't tell anyone about it. Also, you get lots of free food and sometimes leftover wine/beer.

Cons

The president is cheap and doesn't see that actually compensating her workers fairly will lead to better service. She also refuses to hire enough staff. The culture is messed up because of her. There is a lot of gossip and talking about workers negatively behind their backs. Also many accusations of us doing our jobs improperly when other factors are to blame. Often you don't get the memo on something new happening because no one communicates with the Hostessing staff. They tend to hire only people they personally know, even if those people arent qualified. There is usually a much more relaxed tone in the office when the President is not in, since she is usually the cause. They dont invest in the business properly then freak out when we dont have anything needed to function properly. Planning is a disaster.
