Pros

Ipsos is a huge multinational company, and because of this has the resources to train their employees well. As its a very fast paced environment, you learn a lot and very quickly. Benefits are also pretty good.

Cons

Since it's such a big company, Ipsos is very process heavy, and I find that half of your days are spent learning or following yet another new process. Unfortunately, none of these skills are transferable to any other job, and I find it makes the job quite unpleasant at times. Also, the pay is not very competitive, and it take a long time to get promoted or to even get a raise. Lastly, you will have to work long days, and evening and weekend work is not uncommon and actually often expected.

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!
