Pros

Big company with opportunities if you are favored by top managers. There is a transition taking place from the original managers to the new managers so it's a crap shoot.

Cons

The company Nielsen acquired acts under the auspices of Nielsen but actually behave unprofessionally. Workingn conditions as if a Brooklyn sweatshop. Line managers treated like children by top managers and chastised in front of the employees they are supposed to manage. Staff communications done by email and no regular management meetings face to face. Emails contain too much information and may be hard to reference in a pinch when "challenged". Then supervisor complains you don't read your emails. Catch 22.

Pros

Similar to a temp job. Can work up to 60 hours during peak times. Pretty straight-forward routine daily. Great for those who want to work a 4-6 week periods with lulls in between. Mainly a place for retirees and folks who want to work part-time or seasonally.

Cons

Like any call center job it is very repetitive. More so than customer service since you're reading a script call after call. During down times a severe lack of hours. Promotions and full-time positions are hard to come by.
