Pros

Benefit are OK and you can make friends while working because everyone is always at work and not at their homes.

Cons

I worked directly with Lauren DeMar and it was horrible. She does not care for your well being nor cares for you as a person. She only shows lack of respect and never gives you a "good job" even while seeing you have put in the hard work. Do not expect to be congratulated or a good pact on your back while working at this company, they will DRAIN YOU from your energy. It is like they enjoy sucking the life out of you. I have no idea how this company is still around while they work their employees as slaves and disrespect them. Not only do the disrespect you as human but also make sure to know how they view your worth. Expect to work a GAZILLION hours a day, no sleep and to kiss their butts because that is what they love, they love knowing they have the upper hand and they love dehumanizing their employees. OH and be prepared to work with old computers and horrible service.

We're sorry things didn't work out. As you know, the job of executive assistant requires good rapport and a smooth relationship between the executive and the assistant. When the fit isn't there, it's better to end the relationship. We wish you all the best.

Pros

The only good thing about working in the Ipsos MORI call centre in Edinburgh is that there are plenty of interesting people working there. A lot of students, artists and musicians work there because the work is flexible. However, it's very monotonous work, and can feel quite soul crushing. I worked there for three years, but only about 16 hours per week on average, and moving up the pay scales up to supervisory level helped. Full time hours on minimum wage would have been just too much. The good thing about shift work is that when you clock off, it's over. You go straight home and forget about it. Now that I have a 'better' job in a different sector, one I'm meant to feel invested in - I miss that. I don't miss the monotony though.

Cons

Zero hours contracts - as you move up the pay grades it can get easier to get hours. The management treat the workforce as completely expendable. If you have a thin skin you will find it stressful - most people don't like being phoned up at home and asked to do surveys. And they will tell you. And you will make hundreds of calls in every four hour shift.

Pros

The only pro I can list is the flexible work hours (8am-10am) and working from abroad policy

Cons

Let me tell you how the Ipsos UK system works. They hire senior and very qualified people from foreign countries who need a visa sponsorship and can't say no to a low salary and a title below their current level because they need the sponsorship. And then they make these people work insane hours with incredible workload (some people have more than 3 accounts) and despite all that hard work they don't promote them (even in some cases they promise to do so, encourage you to work your best and then do not promote you with a nonlegitimate excuse). There is also the fact that some people's salaries are much higher than other people with the same title. So if you want to be exploited this is the best place for it. The salaries are a laughing matter and sounds like they can't be true but they are. No one is happy, everyone is looking for a way out. I hope everyone who deserves much better than this company does get a better option in the end and leaves this horrible mess
