Pros

Great work atmosphere, friendly senior staff, talented staff, some interesting work.

Cons

Some extremely dull work, long hours for which you are not recognised, poor pay. Opaque promotions and pay review process - it can be recognised that you hit all your targets for promotion/pay incentives and still not be recognised. If you hit your targets ahead of time, they don't reward your achievement, just give you another target. Everyone is overworked so that deliverables are rarely of the highest quality deliverable by what are a group of very talented researchers.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities and various locations

Cons

You work your tail off using gas, mileage, time, energy, tolls, and consistent but the authenticator who sit in the comfort of their home find any and everything wrong with the survey you fill out. Then, you don't get paid. Their portal that you are supposed to use while on location has connectivity issues or whatever reason they decide to blame it on. So far, I've lost $500.00 with this company. There are many other mystery shopping companies who don't try to cheat you out of money. If I had to guess, they use your pictures and get THEIR money but won't pay their contractors. I would suggest shopping for any other company besides Ipsos!
