Pros

Work life balance If you are patient and ready to coast for 20+ years and wait for retirement, this is the place for you

Cons

Slow to adapt to industry changes People are very mediocre, very few innovative thinkers. Most are button pressers and paper/email pushers Does not reward high performers. You get a pat on the back and slap on the wrist for setting up the standard too high for the rest of the group. Never shows up with big raises or promotions. Promotion is more about tenure

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!
