Pros

Good company to work on

Cons

Sometimes you didn't have much job to do

Pros

The IPSOS independent editors, who edit the shops, sometimes clueless and it looks like they are having the cognitive problems. They simply can misinterpret the guidelines or do not remember it. I am struggling with one such editor currently., other editors are good. The Independent Editor Michael Davis has declined a few of my shops after completly misinterpreting the performed mystery shops guidelines. As a result I did not get paid for the perfectly performed assignments. Sometime ago, he was asking me to upload the phone company bill despite according the guidelines the shopper had to impersonate the company's customer and could not have the real bill. Another time he declined a shop, claiming that the company was not listed online as the functioning company and I should not visit it. When I provided him a screen shot showing that the company was listed on Mapquest, he changed the subject and started talking about its hours of operation that were not listed. He is confusing everything, logic is missing. The shop still was not paid. Recently Michael Davis declined another my perfectly performed shop because I gave a tip $2 after making a required purchade in a restaurant below $10, as the guidelines requested. If an editor cannot comprehend or remember the simple guidelines, if he cannot be logical and analyze information, there always will be mess. It is bad and sad. IPSOS should look for professional people, I believe.

Cons

Everything could get messy with an Independent Editor, who does not read, does not understand or does not remember the guidelines. He can decline your shop and all your time and good work would be wasted, you won't get paid.
