      I'd return to Nielsen at the drop of a DIME!

      Pros

      Nielsen has a philosophy of " You take of Nielsen and Nielsen will take care of you!" The freedom to travel and/or relocate with company is endless. Almost everyone I've known has been happy with their position; culturaly diverse and opportunity to advance is HUGE!

      Cons

      Though work/family life are respected and balanced, it's best to be free of commitments such as spouse or young children. You may be asked to help work a territory for a month or three that's out of state. If you're not free to travel, it can DEFINITELY hinder your ability to appear "mobile" or advanceable....

      Miserable Place

      Pros

      Benefits are great for FT employees. Call Center Leader works hard to make it a better place. There are some great people here who are genuine and real and caring.

      Cons

      Expect to have no life outside the company. 24/7/365 is expected. Management is a popularity contest, and if they don't like you then you're out no matter what. Goals are not clearly communicated until you are being placed on disciplinary action for not meeting them. A lot of brown nosing in leadership, and very unrealistic expectations. If you are not liked, every move you make will be wrong. Don't get sick because no one will care. Marathon meetings where little to nothing is accomplished take place very single week. There is a lot of meeting to meet. Also management by committee. Inspect what you expect is just another way of saying "micromanage" which is absolutely absurd. This place is chaotic at best. People whine about the most ridiculous things rather than taking responsibility for their actions--not talking about Gen X or Y here, I'm referring to Baby Boomers and up. If you have no friends or family and want to be a workaholic in the most chaotic place on earth, this is the place for you.

      Pros

      On the positive side, Nielsen Online had a diverse roster of clients ranging across industries, good opportunites for job growth and advancement (within Nielsen Online and other Nielsen companies), solid training program and competitive salary.

      Cons

      On the negative side, Nielsen Online had a high turnover of staff, colleagues tended to be pretty young and inexperienced leading to an imbalance of work on management.
