Pros

Company Car Benefits Flexible Schedule Getting hired here is easy as you don't need a college degree.

Cons

So I am ready the news with headlines such as "Top Doc: 10 Times More Deadly Than the Flu" and "X-Rays Show Terrifying Damage in Lungs of Victim" yet Nielsen is requiring me to go knock on doors all day to homes of complete strangers. While responsible decision makers are closing schools, cancelling events and asking office employees to work from home, my company is telling me to go into counties with confirmed presence of coronavirus to knock on doors. The sad thing is you don't make any money at this job and they obviously don't care about us. The CEO loves to portray himself as this compassionate SJW but he is just a phony as I'm out here subjecting me, my family and community with exposure.

Our number one priority is protecting the health and well-being of our employees. We suspended all in-person visits to homes until we believe it is safe to resume in-person visits. In these uncertain times, all of us at Nielsen are reminded of our responsibility to do what we can to help prevent the spread of the virus.

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.
