It was impossible to get time off for vacation and most people would just call out on the days they were denied time off for, leaving others with twice the work. ----Managers bully employees and are protected by other managers. Manager of Operations refused to listen to any complaints brought to him and HR did nothing to address the many complaints. HR doesn't answer emails and takes weeks to respond when they do.
Work is unfairly distributed between employees.
Most employees are part-time and have the 'carrot' of full-time dangled in front of them and never get better pay or benefits. The benefits package is an expensive joke and pay raises are rarely given out to anyone. They have a PPR system for rating yearly performance and it's out of 4 points. No one ever gets 4 points, so it's impossible to feel valued.
Departments are disbanded and the people are told to apply to other jobs within Watch Ops but usually have to leave. I assume this is so Nielsen can avoid paying severance.
How can a company that makes billions of dollars a year justify not paying employees well and having a huge outsourcing contract to India? Men in the office make sexist and disgusting comments and aren't reprimanded. People move up in the company not by actually working hard but by sucking up, and doing extracurricular activities like newsletters that no one reads. Managers actively work to block people from promotion by extending their probation periods too far, etc. I did nothing wrong, gave my two weeks and left in good standing but on my last day I was barred from the building with no explanation given by anyone. I didn't get to say goodbye to anyone or take my belongings home with me.
