Pros

Great atmosphere - fun place to work Senior management very visible and accessible Some of the work very interesting Sense of honesty from management

Cons

Expect a lot from junior staff (hours/responsibility) but pay doesn't match with that Sometimes too much donkey work given to junior staff (recognise that they make an effort to avoid this - I used to work at BMRB where this was MUCH worse)

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!
