Pros
The training is good. The staff is positive and you have lots of support. You are given a car, and they pay the gas and the maintenance. Also a phone and a computer. You make your own hours. Great job if you don't have a home life.
Cons
Getting people to understand the value of their input, all the while asking them for personal information and invasive technology in their house. The computer and software constants are unacceptable and time consuming for a company that is basically suppose to be measuring with TECHNOLOGY what consumers doing Even the old pros here have a hard time with the constant changes they give their departments and or functions. No consistency. The pay stinks, even with the car they gave you it doesn't come close to the overload you have to do to close a home. You may be awesome but if your manager is no good, his or her ineptness is going to cut into your ability to make money. Often you succeed in doing your job and things totally out of your control make it that the home is not closed. Depending on the market you're in it's even harder because the payout to to the homes is dismal. The turn over in this particular job is OFF THE CHARTS. Nielsen get a clue! Nielsen doesn't do enough to make themselves known so that when you come to a home more than 50% of the time they have no idea who Nielsen is which is remarkable given they are the industry standard for tv ratings! They are not keeping up with the curve of people now streaming so much and abandoning local tv, and cable.
