Pros

For the membership rep position the company gave me a car, paid training, and a great team to work with. The hours are flexible and you can set them however you want. The job itself had its ups and downs and if you are good at door to door sales you will like this job. If you speak another language it's a plus; especially spanish. Health insurance is great also. Base pay is great compared to other sales jobs.

Cons

Many of the sample homes were from old census data and some had been worked over before. You may get the police called on you just for trying to reach a home and sometimes you may not even get to speak to them. Also, i was put on probation for tickets i got even before i started to work with the company after i was with them for 2 years. That was unfair was it was the last straw. They went back 3 years of vehicle history and even though i got the tickets before i worked for them they still punished me for it. Room for advancement for membership rep is bad. Not many opportunities.

Pros

A good name on your resume

Cons

Most of the people who knew the Nielsen tools & how to do the job well have been forced to leave the company by leadership's lack of focus & demand for "cheerleaders"! It's a ridiculous environment at this point and only those who suck up get annual raises. It's a really unfair environment with extremely high turnover for such a small office. RUN from this place!

Pros

Ability to move departments within the company. Get to work with big multi-national clients.

Cons

From the moment you begin they regularly claim that they operate a meritocracy, that promotions will come as soon as they are warranted, and they are not based on other colleagues. Yet they regularly have promotion freezes lasting for 6 months or more. They will only promote a small number of people each time, and they have specific quotas on what performance review they can give people. Only expect progression if you can shout the loudest and have the right manager.
