Pros

-People are genuinely nice, smart and talented -Likes to promote from within and provides opportunities and career paths to grow in your role.

Cons

-Is large, bureaucratic and unwieldy. -The operations side of the business (survey programming and implementation and data processing) is slow and makes frequent errors in data collection and processing that the client services side has to manage and fix and ultimately explain to the client. Senior leadership is aware of this problem and claims to want to fix it but never does. -Too much focus on management processes and not enough on ensuring the quality and integrity of our data. At a certain point, you feel like you are in the business of moving internal folders and boxes around and not caring about the quality of the contents of those folders and boxes. -Raises, bonuses and promotions can be hard to come by unless you are one of those people who is particularly good at moving folders and boxes around.

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!
