      Business Outlook

      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.

      Business Outlook

      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.

      It was a great place to work until they brought in Mitchell Habib

      Internal auditor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      HR tries to make the place fun and interesting.

      Cons

      There is no loyalty. They don't care what you know, it is all who you know. You will see mothers and sons who are in high positions that only got there because of knowing someone. Many CPA's and MBA's working on a lower level while VP's only hold BA's or less.
