Pros

It's a great place to learn market research: methodologies, presentation skills, teamwork. It does vary from team to team but you have the opportunity to work from home, three weeks of paid vacation and great team members who are willing to teach and help you.

Cons

The main reason I left was because of the poor pay. It's really below average compared to other companies in the market.

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!
