Pros

- You get benefits - You get to put Nielsen on your resume

Cons

- They underpay by ~20% because you get to put Nielsen on your resume - Your job will probably eventually be offshored - They do not care about retention - Most executives are men - Most of the offerings are out of date and they are very slow with innovation (which doesn't even appear to be a priority) - HR is horrific

Pros

Everyone knows of Nielsen, so working for The Nielsen Company is great to include on a resume. Also, in such a large and diverse company there are a lot of opportunities to grow a career here, especially if you are able and willing to move for opportunities.

Cons

The benefits here are pretty bad. Medical insurance is bare bones and the vacation time is as lean as they can legally get away with... on the upside, a lot of positions allow the opportunity to work from home, especially after you have been here a while.

Pros

Flexible Schedule. As a part-time employee I am supposed to work 25 hours per week. Sometimes it is less and sometimes it is more. In order to keep job you must meet sales quotas. No exceptions. Natural disaster. Too bad. Surgery. Too bad. Quotas must be met or you will be let go. No exceptions. But, again, making your own schedule is a big plus!

Cons

Too much work for the hours allowed. I have to work a lot off the clock to get the work done and keep my job. Everyone does it so it is "normal".
