Pros

Good, reputable and leading market research company. Interesting work at times.

Cons

Management took too long to realise and implement actions to improve work conditions for their employees. No paid overtime yet lower level employees are expected to work long hours by team managers and directors (similar hours to what the senior staff work except the latter get double/treble the salary).

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!
