Pros

Company Car, Free Gas, 401K, there is no flexibility you have to put in your recruiting hours, some cheat and get away with it,

Cons

Long hours, no work-life balance, forget about having a decent meal and having a weekend off. Managers play favorites and if you think it's easy to get Homes to sign on and say yes to what you are selling, absolutely NO! Going door to door can be fun but not when it is below zero. Company doesn't care about you and your safety just get the job done. Bonus was misrepresented bottom line, good luck trying to earn it and it changes all the time. Not the company that was presented to me, they will take advantage of you.

Pros

Absolutley nothing. Which is a tragedy, because Nielsen was once an absolutely great place to work. I wanted to retire here. The culture used to be great, and I really loved being a part of this place. I loved my team, my management, and the people. Then along came the current CEO who is the classic example of a person who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. He took over and ran the company full speed ahead in to the iceberg. And to try and save the sinking ship, he laid off literally thousands of highly experienced, highly trained, and highly engaged people to replace them with fresh overseas hires who know nothing about the company and expect them to be trained from the ground up to replace literally centuries of collective expererience and client relations. It's a disaster. This CEO shouldn't be trusted to run a lemonade stand.

Cons

Everything. Pay, job security, culture, management. Nothing is good here anymore. Don't take a job here unless you are truly desperate. And even then, it should only be as a stop-gap until you can find something else.
