Pros

Good reputation within the industry. Strong global client relationships. Ben Page has high external visibility and spends a lot of time doing external speeches / presentations.

Cons

A lot of mandated work means limited scope for creativity. Complex tools. Senior management obsess with external profile, sales numbers but do not spend enough time understanding all elements of the business or working on internal efficiency / making things easier for the people doing the work. As with many agencies, can be a sweat shop, particularly for middle management.

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!
