Pros

Company vehicle, 2 weeks paid vacation, 2 weeks sick days, 4 emergency days, expense account (started at $500.00, now 2,000.00), some traveling (for larger geographical markets). Mostly self-schedule appointments. Only talk to supervisor about once a week unless numbers are down. Salary-based, but you get overtime pay. Frequent awards (lowest award is about $25.00, I normally get either the $50.00 or $100.00.), given for performance, which can be saved up overtime to spend on nice things like gift cards, tablets, exercising equipment and more. Potential to earn $12,000.00 annually in bonuses.

Cons

Though you self-schedule, you often work well into the evening and weekends. 6-week training school in Florida, family is not allowed to stay with you if they visit. Some homes are heavy smokers or have large, shedding animals, so I occasionally have to go home immediately and shower. Some managers can be extreme micro-managers.

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.
