      Nielsen must change to keep employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good benefits package offered to employees

      Cons

      unrealistic metrics, lack of training and development, the company is generally tone-deaf to the social climate and that it's methodology must be drastically changed in order to remain relevant. This role is the "boots on the ground" for the company and the turn over rate is 75%. The company refuses to acknowledge the out-dated policies and procedures of the role and keep firing and firing and firing.

      Pros

      Company car can be used for personal (i dont own my own car and i go on many personal roadtrips, I pay about $700 a year in total) Benefits, travel Base salary + monthly bonus depending on performance Self-starter make your own schedule Hit your numbers and get left alone Reputable company makes for recruiting easier The bonus structure (can also be a con) Company advancement- if you grind it out for a year apparently you can apply for any of the thousands of positions within the company worldwide, but no sooner than a year! And if your numbers aren't good and your manager doesnt like you much then you might as well start looking for another job if you don't like the position. Like life- the recruitment position is what you make it.

      Cons

      No office to meet coworkers (can be a pro too) The bonus structure is always changing so Nielsen can pay out less and less for signed homes Management is always under pressure and they take it out on recruiters They will tell you the households make up the ratings but really it is the demand of Nielsen's clients that drive the TV ratings Minimal post-training training, learn everything on your own (This can be good for ambitious and organized people, but if you are coming out of college or a first job then it can be overwhelming) I am not very organized and this job requires decent organization skills- still learning

      Pros

      The people, and more are quitting every day. Interesting clients and good way to get experience in marketing.

      Cons

      Management. The only thing that we care about is cost leadership. Absolutely no interest in investing in Human Capital. Looking to delay compensation and promotions as much as possible. Outsourcing is greatly impacting the quality of the work.
