Total waste of time. Call after call from various employees, asking the same silly questions over and over. I cleared my afternoon to be on the survey, then was bounced off and told the client "Over-Recruited". What? read more

My Project Manager Ms. Miranda was amazing! She was incredibly diligent and even more so patient with me - even at times when I was intolerable. She went above and beyond to make sure I received my gratuity for a play test I participated in Santa Monica, CA. The payment was issued a little later than previously discussed but with technology failing us there's only so much one can do. Stephen the new guy is also great! His professionalism sets the bar and his courteous nature is pleasantly enjoyable. Definitely not a scam - things happen when they're a lot of moving parts... read more

I have been a participant in a handful of market research studies at C2 in Roseville, and have had a great experience each time. The studies are always interesting, employees are nice, and I have always been paid timely. Not sure why the previous reviewer didn't get paid, but I have noticed that C2 has different stages to verify you are the right candidate for each study. You take an initial survey online, then they will call you to ask some more questions if your initial answers seem fitting at which point they may ask you to send in documents verifying that your answers are true (ex: you state that you have AT&T cell service, they will ask you to send in documentation with your info on the account to verify). You do not get paid until you have been fully vetted and participated in the study, just completing the survey doesn't count. This means that if you try and bend the truth on your survey to get through, you'll eventually get caught. Overall, I really like C2 as they generally pay pretty well for just an hour or two of my time to talk about some really interesting things! They do not like if you're the silent person that never has an opinion, so if you don't like talking in front of others then this is not for you. read more

UPDATE: Id like to thank the CEO of C2, Shelly for kindly reaching out to me. Although I was previously annoyed by the fact that no one informed me of the 7-10 processing time in my last review, with those standard being said I was paid on the 9th day. Weekends are not included just fyi. But I am very pleased to say that I was in fact compensated and the customer service by Shelly was amazing. She truly understood where I was coming from and made me feel heard. If only more people were like her that would be great. Thanks Shelly for help me understand the process clearly and resolving the problem! read more

Not nice! Both my daughter and I completed a survey on colleges for them. But it's been one excuse after another as a reason they are not paying us. First Haley said our payment was tied up in accounting. Then a week later, she said she was processing it. Then a week later she said fraud was suspected. One excuse after another. Stay away! read more

I would highly recommend signing up for some easy extra money. You never know what studies/surveys you'll qualify for. Just a couple days ago I took a survey online that took maybe 10 minutes, and I'm getting $25 for it. I think it's pretty ridiculous that people are complaining about not being paid "fast enough". Especially considering they tell you beforehand that it will take 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS (obviously weekends don't count) to process the payment, and people are complaining it took 9 days. You shouldn't be relying on this as a main source of income. $25 for 10-15 minutes of my time is well worth it. You have in writing they will be compensating you for it, they legally cannot NOT pay you, so take a chill pill and be happy you're getting some easy extra income. read more

I have completed a few market research studies with C2. Initially I was very hesitant about doing a study because I've only seen them done in movies and I wasn't sure if it was legit or really something that can be done. But I was proven wrong. C2 is not only legit but very professional and accommodating. The whole experience is actually fun and interesting which makes the studies enjoyable. The company is very welcoming and they make sure that you understand the process. Payment is very timely and the compensation isn't bad for what your study entails. I would do another study if the opportunity arises read more

I had a great experience participating in a study for this company. There was clear communication both over the phone and through email on what to expect, how to get there, and how much you would get paid to take part in the focus group. I thought this might be too good to be true but it wasn't! I showed up a few minutes before study and was greeted warmly by the woman at the front desk and offered snacks and water while I waited for them to start the focus group. The focus group started on time, was actually very interesting, ended on time and I received my payment by the next day! I would definitely participate in another study for this company and have already recommended them to friends, great way to earn some extra money with little effort and time spent! read more

I've hired C2 to conduct both qualitative and quantitative studies over the years. From the participant perspective reading some of these comments, I understand their frustration for not qualifying for a research project or not being eligible to join studies all the time. But from a client's point of view, I appreciate the additional quality assurance checks and measures to ensure participants are a good fit and that I can feel confident with their strategic findings and recommendations. read more

I received a call from Margarita to do a class. I called her back, leaving voicemails and took the survey she emailed me. A few days before the class was supposed to take place I still hadn't been called with information of where I was going and what time. I finally got ahold of her after calling 3 times. She had no information on me. She told me she would call me back once she found my file and she never did. The survey I took/personal information was no where to be found, she couldn't find information of the phone call she made to me (still have the voicemail and confirmed it was her who made the call.) My sister had a business meeting with this company to partner together and she was the one who told me to sign up and test them out. I definitely gave my sister my feedback on their lack or organization. read more
