Pros

Highly flexible to a point when shifts are available, although only to folk the management hand pick for this privilege when shifts are tight. Everyone is on zero hours contracts (no one is freelance, regardless if they may "feel" they are, this is legally and contractually not the case) apart from the managers, so there is a degree of freedom to come and go as you please within a 3 month period, provided shifts are available.

Cons

There is an extreme amount of unprofessional behaviour on the shop floor, there is a link between this and many negative elements of the job. Management are very selective with the support and understanding they give the telephone interviewers (who are all zero hours based and not freelance). Managers also put an extreme amount of pressure to deliver results. There is often a victim and blame culture which adds to toxic environment. The stressful nature of being a supervisor means that it is not recommended if you have mental health issues or don't deal well with stress. The management are only interested in results and you are left feeling you're nothing more than an Employee number, than a person.

Pros

Started out there working for Synovate. Loved it especially before Ipsos took ownership of it. Great people to work with especially those in the NJ/NY area. Definitely plenty of advancement opportunities especially if you are patient. Excellent benefits as well.

Cons

There is a great deal of last minute type people there who could use some training in basic time management skills. If you work there, you'll get used to the over-reactive and difficult behavior rampant with Ipsos employees that for some reason the Senior Management seems to ignore. Would be good if Ipsos Senior Management would actually implement changes based on the employee satisfaction survey data that they collect instead of relying on HR to come up with useless suggestions.
