Pros

There are a number of talented market researchers at Ipsos who do top quality work.

Cons

Management pays lip service to the ideal that people are their greatest asset, but their actions do not reflect this premise. Long hours, little to no appreciation or recognition and far too much emphasis on revenue. Management is willing to turn a blind eye to unprofessional and totally inappropriate behavior as long as the BU's financial performance meets or exceeds expectations.

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!
