Ipsos Reviews

You only get offered shifts when they deem you are worth their time. Zero-hour contract, where you are expendable. Managers are scum, treat you like crap. No job prospects, and it takes ages to get moved up the ladder. The sliding money scale means you might get paid £7.20 one week then £6.95 the next. Got underpaid several times, and had to fight to get my wages more than once because of computer errors. Really just horrible people who don't care about you or your well being. All of the equipment is outdated and you barely get any training. If they test a new project using you as a guinea pig then anything wrong with it is automatically your fault. Also avoid the coffee machine - its just watery diarrhoea in a cup. Seriously disorganised place, one of the worst experiences of my life.

Zero hours contracts - as you move up the pay grades it can get easier to get hours. The management treat the workforce as completely expendable. If you have a thin skin you will find it stressful - most people don't like being phoned up at home and asked to do surveys. And they will tell you. And you will make hundreds of calls in every four hour shift.
