Pros

* It's a paycheck. * A decent place to start your market research career but don't stay too long or else you'll end up hating your life.

Cons

* Little support from my manager. Instead of giving support, my manager is constantly rude and passive aggressive with me. * Too many rules * Horrible work-life balance. This should be a standard 9am-5pm job but upper management doesn't agree * Too many unnecessary meetings/sessions. Town Halls are painful to sit through. * I don't get paid enough. * Health insurance is horrible. With all the cons, it's not surprising that this company has such a high turnover rate.

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!
