Pros

For the membership rep position the company gave me a car, paid training, and a great team to work with. The hours are flexible and you can set them however you want. The job itself had its ups and downs and if you are good at door to door sales you will like this job. If you speak another language it's a plus; especially spanish. Health insurance is great also. Base pay is great compared to other sales jobs.

Cons

Many of the sample homes were from old census data and some had been worked over before. You may get the police called on you just for trying to reach a home and sometimes you may not even get to speak to them. Also, i was put on probation for tickets i got even before i started to work with the company after i was with them for 2 years. That was unfair was it was the last straw. They went back 3 years of vehicle history and even though i got the tickets before i worked for them they still punished me for it. Room for advancement for membership rep is bad. Not many opportunities.

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.
