Pros

Flexibility of work and some generally friendly faces to see.

Cons

The lowest pay in the market Bias within management and they deliberately set you up to find reasons to not progress you, especially where you are perceived as non-conforming or not paying lip-service or praising management. They have the worst rating and feedback process that is easily abused by managers and directors who just don't like you. Many staff are stuck there just because they like the flexibility and have families. The young ones are more ambitious, so they play the game, get promoted and take the experience elsewhere. It is a sad situation as the company has a good reputation but the clients don't know how those who actually do the work (the junior execs who are often doing director level work, are suffering under strain and burn out). If you love your health and mental state, please look elsewhere.

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!
