Pros

Great market research agencies. The only big agency that is still "run" by researchers. Great flexibility, no one bothers you as long as you get your work done. Lots of innovative research and analytics techniques that are superior to most "traditional" research agencies. But just as everywhere else, your immediate team and manager can make all the difference.

Cons

While there is a lot of flexibility in terms of when you get your work done, there are times that one is required to work long hours, weekends, etc. in order to meet clients' deadlines. Bonus structure is not always clear.

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!
