Pros

Great people- good atmosphere amongst the graduate waves- have remained friends for years Training scheme good and detailed Honest and open communication Visible senior management Good progression after the trainee period

Cons

Some very mind-numbing tasks for graduates- they pay graduates too much to have them doing menial tasks which are seen by some senior management to be "rights of passage". They should employ lower paid admin workers to do these tasks so that the graduates can focus on tasks with more skill. Often repetitive work, with no real analysis, recommendations or creativity expected- just simple narration of the findings. Some junior staff are very overworked.

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!
