I participated in the activity in Westwood. I drove from San Pedro. The intake was efficient. The staff were so friendly. They had bagels and a yogurt parfait breakfast with endless coffee and hot tea before the activity. The activity was well explained. They had tools to collect your data/responses to questions. The event I attended was 2 days total. The staff of maybe 6 attorneys presented their case 3 petitioner 3 respondent. The case was well presented with graphics, photos and videos. They had plenty of bathroom breaks and I believe that sandwiches soda and chips were lunch. I believe we had an afternoon snack of cookies late afternoon to keep us going until 6:30pm. They held a raffle each day as an incentive to get people there early. For me the 405 was unpredictable even leaving at 5am to arrive by 8. I was close but not in the door by 8:15 and they called to check that I was ok. I assured them I was close... they gave the lobby a call that they still expected me and that made getting upstairs easy as the lobby staff escort you to the elevator. Our group was diverse in age and races, I believe we were 36-38 people. They ultimately broke us up in groups of 12. I believe 2 people didn't return for day 2. So we were 36 upon deliberation. I'm certain we were politically diverse as well. People were patient, tolerant and respectful. I enjoyed the event. They paid I believe in 3 days an honorarium for attending and it came within 72 hours as promised. The staff were great at the screening, great on-site, friendly communication. They have folding chairs and the one hint I would offer someone attending that location is to bring a pillow or office chair lumbar pillow. The back on the chairs are about waist high at the bottom and they don't have much back support for long days. I believe that the lumbar pillow for the booty will provide comfort and will make your day easier. The deliberation meeting rooms had adjustable office chairs and were a great break from the folding chairs. They were great to work with. I would absolutely participate in an event again if invited...if you don't try this activity you will loose out on a great experience and an opportunity to get extra cash. As a military family supporting more than one household and the prices being bad for 6 years... every penny helps. I used the funds from 2 days for new tires and a new battery...it was so helpful with budgeting... Don't miss out! read more

Research was fun but I am still waiting to receive my check! I left 2 phone messages and an email. Paul Goodsaid read more

This is by far the worst market research company on the planet. Everytime I attempt to fill out a screener it's a bad message. You write checks and pay super slow. read more

I did my first Adler Weiner focus group a couple months ago! I found them through Facebook, I filled out the questionnaire and one of the recruiters called me a few days later and prescreened me over the phone. The process was seamless and easy. After the call, they told me I was able to participate in the focus group and to watch out for the follow up email with instructions/address info. They provided breakfast and lunch (and drinks/snacks). After the focus group was over, they paid us cash, Easiest money ever! I recommend Adler Weiner to anyone who's looking to make some easy side money! (sign up on their website! you'll get alot of emails regarding different focus groups such as cars, social issues, food, etc) read more

High quality people involved in these focus groups. From start to finish the process was seamless and easy . The food was the best I have had from other focus groups because they provide snacks between breaks such as cookies and popcorn. They do validate parking and they pay CASH. Most other places you have to wait for a check to be mailed or cash the check they give you. I only done one focus group with them but they were the best company I have conducted research with . The office they are in is beautiful with plenty of room to sit and a great outdoor area. If I was a company trying to get insights about my products,I would definitely use them because of the way they treat their participates . read more

Great company to deal with! The application process is simple and payment is prompt and generous. Friendly and easy research participation.

I signed up for this a few months ago and get a lot of emails for different research studies like healthcare, entertainment, sports and gaming. I always take the surveys for the ones I qualify for but so far I've only been selected for one focus group based on my survey responses. I did get paid out for it and it was seamless and quick, because I only apply for the ones that are online. I will continue to sign up for as many as possible so hopefully they choose me more often cause "I need that money" (In my Titi voice, iykyk) ;) lol. read more

There are many consumer research agencies in the area, but none of them have the professionalism of Adler. I can see why their client list is superior to the rest. If you are recruited for one of their interviews, you can be assured of a good experience. Some of their phone screeners are scattered - they obviously work from home and have a lot of things going on at once and easily forget who you are, but once you get past that and to the actual site, it's a great experience. read more

This place is top notch..They pay good and they are friendly and courteous Be sure to check them out and get on their email list to be aware of all studies coming along... read more

The staff is wonderful. I've done a few cities with them and every time it's always a great experience

Best place to take your kids for indoor play Affordable Spacious and fun for toddlers and teenagers Also great customer service Big thanks to Jordan and Jeremiah for the excellent customer service read more

This place is RAD. They pay you cash for your opinion. All you do is sign up on their website and they send you random surveys on various topics. If you meet the criteria then they call you and ask more questions. Most gigs pay $75-$350 cash. Located in the US Bank building. Park in the structure. First 2 hours are free. My survey was on coffee. Yay! I love coffee. Basically a representative leads a discussion with 6-8 participants to get your thoughts on something. Then submits your ideas to the company proposing the product/service. I've seen groups on entertainment, mobile devices, finances, automotive, alcoholic beverages, ect. Tons of topics. I think you have to remember to be kind and listen to your co panelists. Ya, you do not need to agree but you should be respectful to their opinions too. But secretly, I think they want to see heated discussions. Now if you are selected you are not guaranteed to move forward. On my day a few people did not make it to the conference room. Did they get paid? I don't know. There are cameras and microphones in the room along with one-way mirrors. The team is watching you. So yes I'm a fan. read more

Very professional. David led the group very well, and made sure everyone was involved and comfortable in the discussion. All in all a very positive experience. I hope there are new opportunities soon. read more

Looking for supplemental income or extra spending money? Do you find it easy to express your personal opinion on subjects that may be relevant to daily life? Does getting paid to talk interest you? Live close to the Irvine or Westwood area and have a couple hours to spare? If you answered yes to all of the above, then put your name down in the Adler Weiner research database. After filling out a simple background questionnaire, a recruiter will contact you if there is a focus group that could use your opinion. The recruiter will ask some screening questions to make sure you qualify, or in other words, to make sure your backgrounds fit into what the researcher is looking for. Big name companies hold their marketing research studies through Adler Weiner, which is a middleman agency in recruiting participants. The study that I recently participated in was about Microsoft and their future generation concepts. In order to eliminate any bias, the topic wasn't revealed beforehand. The researchers carefully picked out their target audience, which I later figured out was young consumers owning an iPhone or Android phone. After entering a conference room with 6 other stranger subjects, a friendly mediator introduced new concepts one by one, asked simple questions with no right or wrong answers, and led a discussion on each topic. We voted on what we liked and disliked and then expanded on why we chose a particular side, about 10 minutes per concept. I think that it would be easy breezy for people who are not shy or afraid of sharing their ideas and consumer experience. All the responses were recorded on audio and the room had a one-way mirror that the marketing research associates were watching through. It was satisfying to know that my input could potentially shape the future of new products and help guide the company to focus on a particular aspect of a concept. About 90 minutes later, our group was dismissed from the room and an envelope containing $125 in cash was distributed to each of us. It was the easiest supplemental money I had ever made. read more

One of the friendliest market research firms I've had the pleasure of doing a focus group for. The facility itself is clean, well-lit and located in a upscale shopping center with several dineries/Mother's Market/etc. The reception staff here is very friendly throughout all hours of the day. Focus groups on all sorts of different topics and you will usually get a cash honorarium at the end of your fulfillment. Parking is free the first two hours - so don't come too early for your focus group, but in some occasions, when the focus group operator takes the group over the stated time, the reception staff has been nice enough to offer validation stamps. The parking lot itself can be a pain to get out of - especially at night. It is not staffed and you have to feed your tickets to a dark-non lit machine, and then fumble to find where to stick your CC into to pay. But should not be held against Adler Weiner Research. read more

This focus group facility is nice, clean and in a very good location. It was my first time here recently, and I was no disappointed. The Staff is very funny and friendly. The office is located on the first floor, right at the entrance. They pay you cash in an envelope at the end of your session. Lots of snacks and drinks while you wait. It can get crowded so arrive 10 minutes early. I was really surprised at how many people attended my session.Their is lots of people so that you don't feel alone. read more

Highly recommend this company! Sign up and fill out there surveys. If you get selected for a focus group they are amazing at communication and to work with! Easy way to make a little extra money! read more

Adler Weiner Research - Marketing Near Me - Irvine, California

Came in a couple times for focus groups. You're basically there to talk about what you think about a certain topic. The first time focused on Dave & Busters and the second time it was about Knott's Scary Farm. Each lasted an hour, but there are times where it can be shorter or longer. They tell you how much you'll be compensated for the focus group and see if you're still available and interested in partaking. All I had to do to get into these groups was to fill out some information on their site so they'll email me info about upcoming groups. If I'm interested, I'll fill out the brief survey and wait! If I'm a candidate, someone from Adler Weiner will give me a call and let me know what time(s) it will be and which day. If both parties agree, then you just show up 15 minutes before! I got $100 for each and it's CASH MONEY! read more

Very well organized market research company. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic. I have done two focus groups here and my daughter has done one. All were handled professionally and were very interesting. My only complaints are that all three groups ran longer than promised, and worst of all, they don't validate parking! The structure allows two hours free and then charges $1.25/15 minutes. We were told to arrive 20 minutes early for a focus group and then it went over. I ended up paying $5.00 in parking. I realize it's only five dollars, but really...can't they validate or stay on time? read more

Honestly, there's really no reason to give this location anything lower than five stars. Not considering the fact they give you money for your opinions, the staff is very welcoming and the location is very clean with plenty of parking in the surrounding area. As far as parking goes, if you read the email entirely they do let you know parking is only free for 2 hours. To avoid any additional parking fees, park in the surrounding areas. I parked at the nearest restaurant and I walked about 5 minutes to get to the office. The email does clearly state all of this. I've done two sessions with Alder. During my first session, I was there for a little over two hours. At the second session they offered sandwiches, cookies, and sodas, while during the first session there was only coffee and water. For the second session they put you in a raffle to win extra $100 if you checked in 20 minutes before your scheduled time. For each focus group, there was roughly about 7 to 10 people along with the person conducting the session. Both conductors have been very sociable and approachable so far. Each room has their two way mirror, some sort board for notes, and drinks like water or coffee. Sign up for any notifications through their website! read more

Love Adler Weiner research they are awesome . I really enjoy my group I had with them

ALERT! Don't use this website!! It's a scam! They keep sending you research to sign up two to 3x daily. Ask a whole bunch of data and it does not go anywhere, because they already collected! They should be investigated! read more

I also have done some taste testing at P&K Research but this place seemed so much cleaner and more professional. I couldn't believe how much I made with such little effort. I was there for a total of maybe 15-20 minutes and made $75. The only benefit that I see with P&K versus Adler Weiner is that they seem like they have more studies available so it may not pay as well but your chances of getting into a study are better. read more

I appreciate them so much! My daughter and I have both done their group studies. We will hopefully do more in the future. Thank you Adler Weiner! read more

I participated in a focus group and it was very interesting and I had a nice time. For 90 min I was paid $125 cash. It was a really good experience and a nice way to get paid for your opinion. I'm not sure if I can participate more than once but I'd love to do this again. read more

I had a very positive experience with Adler Weiner. I was selected to attend a focus group on tax preparation with three other people. An unexpected bonus: AW provided drinks and snacks! It lasted about an hour and a half and we were paid $150 cash. It did take a while to qualify for this group, but it was worth it in the end. I hope to qualify for another group in the near future! read more

I get called up for a paid focus group maybe once every year or so. It is usually about 2 hours of work for about $150 in pay. You cant beat that. I have done a focus group on video games, paper supplies, frozen foods, beer. Yeah, thats right. I got paid $250 to drink beer for two hours. How great is that! Also, right now, at the Irvine office there is the most beautiful gal working the desk. She has brown hair, or maybe it is kinda of red? I couldnt really tell cause it was up in a tight bun. But she was wearing a tiny leather skirt and she was cutting and sewing together fabric while working the front desk. How amazingly sexy is that? read more

This place is really cool. I've heard many a tale about sloppily run marketing companies that give send you on your way with $25 gift cards to restaurants you'd never go to for participating in their panels or surveys. That's not the case with this place! You can tell from the get-go that Adler Weiner is the best at what they do: the building and offices are beautiful, clean, and pristine. I went in for the first time, and did a focus group about video games; three hours later, I walked out with an envelope filled with $150 cash. The food they provided beforehand was good, and everyone I dealt with there was friendly and professional. Hopefully I can participate in some more of these in the future. read more

Beautiful office. Friendly and personable staff. I received $100 cash to give my opinions on a new Hollywood film that is in development. Interesting topic and great pay for 45 minutes of my time. read more

Came here for an SCE research on their programs. It was quick, easy and a great way to earn some fast cash. The place was clean and easy to get to. read more

i wish they can tell everyone the race they are looking for. most of the minorities don't qualify for their survey, so don't waste time. but it makes sense!! read more

I've been to this research company only once for a two hour session and honestly it was a great organized focus group. The staff was amazing! They are patient, understanding (to those who come in late) and friendly. There are various topics that they can have you do and it is not only fun, but informative. read more

Horrible sienna calls me goes through a long screening process i had to be late for a sales management meeting then approves me to do a focus group on Microsoft project . she sends me a conformation email. I cancel and forfeited my tixs to a preseason bball game. Guess what she calls me the day before the focus group says its cancelled . so shes screws me of $225 for the group study. I lose $100 for the bball tixs and miss the games. Management needs to compensate participants who get cancelled so no reason! Very unprofessional. Sienna didnt even say sorry! read more

It's a scam. Twice they called me after I completed a survey and invited me for a focus group which I agreed to. During the calls, however, they kept me on the phone by asking me further questions. The representative then said he was going to confirm the focus group to my e-mail within 10 minutes. I never received the promised e-mail confirmation. read more

Been applying for over a month now and never get picked for any of them. Most of them are repeat surveys so doesn't even help...
