Pros

Some of the training programs for the many divisions of the company are quite good. Most of the managers are helpful to the workers.

Cons

Some of the training programs are so poor as to discourage employee retention. In general, Nielsen has a low pay scale so it is hard to make a living. Lots of higher paying jobs were outsourced which is a shame for American workers.

Pros

I loved the freedom to meet deadlines according to my scheduling around being a single parent. As long as you don't mind driving, and working alone, it was a perfect position for me.

Cons

Some of the training could have been more intensive, and the company seemed disorganized at times. However, I was in the midst of when the company was merging with Crossmark Co.

Pros

Continual learning of the industry and company. Stable, dedicated, long tenure employees

Cons

Too many SVP hires in recent years - very top heavy organization. Pay raises are minimal. When the company grows 5% - 7% a year, don't give employees 1% - 4% pay raises.
