Nielsen reviews

Having recently been purchased by a private company Nielsen has transitioned from a "people first" attitude to a "profit first". Not a bad attitude when running a business, but it is nearly a 180 from the original culture of the company. The result is that there are many people in leadership roles who aren't consistent with the current message creating conflicting directives at all levels within the company. Low morale tends to quickly follow suit as employees cannot keep up with the ever changing landscape.

The perks will keep you at this job longer than it should. At first it seemed like an amazing place to be but the place is revolving doors especially for field employees. Your success is greatly controlled by management as they are the ones that handout leads. You will have to eat, blank and sleep Nielsen to meet minimum standards and prepare for the worse stress you will ever experience. Every week you get constant pressure to perform even if it means working Saturday and Sunday evenings every week. They will tell you that you are required to work a non-traditional schedule but what this means is you will work all day everyday and OT is rarely approved. Your job is always on the line. Definitely more pressure than typical sales positions. I would never recommend this job to a friend unless they need it as a career transition Nielsen Media does look great on your resume. This job should pay about 15K more than it does. Bonus is total BS.
