Pros

Diverse client base, lots of exposure to different clients and projects. There is definitely upside for a research-oriented person that likes telling stories with data.

Cons

It takes a long time to understand how to navigate the various teams you’ll need to work with throughout a project, and the fragmentation of groups can be frustrating. This is not a very agile work environment, and leaders with years of company experience are more likely to micromanage and take on their team’s work than provide proper training. It’s also not entirely their fault, as there’s very little formal onboarding or training for new employees.

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!
