Pros

interesting clients and topics, company has got good reputation and people are generally friendly and supportive

Cons

Salary is ridiculously low for junior staff considered the contribution they provide, skills and expertise. Will often do the majority of the work from admin to project delivery to reporting. Career progression not based on merit but rather on set 'milestones' i.e. promotion only after 18 months in the previous position. no significant nor useful benefits package (what can you do with a £600 wine delivery service when you can barely pay your bills?) Bright grads - stay away! go somewhere where you will be paid for your efforts

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!
