Pros

Base salary. Ability to work from home and make your own schedule. Reputation of this company helps you get in the door sometimes. Company car is probably the best perk. If you hit your numbers mgmt typically leave you alone unless they need help in other markets, then you'll be asked to travel. If you put forth the effort management will help you in every way possible to ensure you succeed. Making a bonus is tough but those who do make a great income.

Cons

You are required to recruit rough urban areas and also very rural secluded areas. If you aren't comfortable interacting with people of different backgrounds and views you won't like this job. You will work in the elements so you must love being outdoors regardless of the weather. To be successful and make good money you will need to work weekends.

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.
