Pros

Nice staff, interesting projects and impactful work.

Cons

The pay is awful considering they make huge profits and most people have really good degrees/ prior experience. Staff burn out quickly because the resourcing is terrible. Everyone works way over their contracted hours with minimal recogntion for their hard work (i.e. half the time you won't even get a thank you). The churn rate is high and getting higher, yet senior management bury their heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge that pay / work life balance are consistently cited as the reasons for leaving. The business model seems to rely on employing nice people who want to work hard and make a difference via research, but employee good will isn't enough. They have lost so many excellent researchers because of this.

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!
