Pros

None, unless you love working 70 hours a week and get paid for 46

Cons

If you want to work 10 hour days/7 days a week, then this job is a good fit. Management is so out of touch it's ridiculous. EVERYTHING falls on the Field Rep, no matter who made the mistake (membership reps make up everything from dates of birth, employers, salaries etc.) so once you visit a home, it all falls on YOUR plate. Stay far away from this company.

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.
