Great company, boring job

Pros

The company has great benefits and an awesome culture. It is an easy going environment and participation in activities is encouraged.

Cons

Being a Panel Relations Specialist is extremely boring! Management keeps on you to make more and more calls, with little to no incentive. It is really hard to stay motivated to call people to reprimand them for not wearing their meters every single day!

Pros

Great company atmosphere, great on a resume, unlimited earning potential.

Cons

I saw a lot of top reps get overlooked for promotions to move in people from other programs and to avoid not losing a good person in the field.

Pros

Arbitron employees received a presentation about the opportunities to grow and the team-work culture at Nielsen. Many of us never saw that (see cons)

Cons

I had worked for Arbitron Inc for 15 years, Shortly after the merger with Nielsen a large part of the Arbitron workforce was notified that they would be part of a reduction-in-force. Our group was part of the RIF. I was never interviewed regarding the applications that I had developed for the company. As far as I know, the presentation by my manager to the new administration was marginalized. Everything seemed pre-ordained without regard for truly learning the intellectual content that they were buying.
