Pros

I really enjoyed my team. The diversity of people within Operations is excellent, as is the camaraderie. Very relaxed, with a very gentle learning curve.

Cons

The operations department is unusual within the graduate programme, as the majority of Graduate training is expected to be of little relevance. As such there was an immediate feeling of having our time wasted and this was a shock to me. Given the size of the company and difficult financial position it has been in, the department's technology (i.e. survey tools) require some upheaval. The training for the new software was decent but nowhere near intensive enough.

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!
