Pros

Halfway decent salary, good benefits

Cons

Field Reps and Member Reps do nothing but work, prepare for work, and stress about work ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT, 365 days a year. Prepare to give up your life as you know it. THIS JOB WILL CONSUME YOU with unrealistic demands and expectations. Your performance will be judged by things that are COMPLETELY out of your control. You'll be expected to work with proprietary software that functions like it was designed by a retarded 5-year old (when it functions at all), and makes Windows 95 look futuristic.

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.
