Vantaggi

- Interesting work across a variety of subject areas and clients - Lots of variety - Opportunities to manage projects and work with people of different levels - Senior colleagues were generally supportive in client meetings and set up - Interesting lunchtime seminars - Casual dress on Fridays and there used to be free fruit, but they took that away to save money

Svantaggi

- It's hard to get promoted here unless you are a very outgoing person or friendly with the directors. Even if you work very hard and have no problems with your work, if you do not portray a confident and outgoing persona you will find it hard to progress. - No formal off in lieu policy or other compensation for working late in the office or at focus groups, so it is down to individual managers' discretion as to whether or not you can come in late the next day etc. - Time sheets must be filled in to account for everything you do. - Too many computer systems, e.g. it can take ages just to get a quote for fieldwork.

Vantaggi

Plenty of opportunities and various locations

Svantaggi

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!
