      Pros

      The unmarked company vehicle is great. You are able to use it in your personal time as well. Having the ability to make your own schedule is nice too. If you like to drive and be in the car all day, this is a job for you. The management, in my experience seemed nice. Although you don’t ever really develop any sort of personal connection due to the fact that you work remotely. Management and team seemed to always be supportive of you meeting your goals each month. All in all, Nielsen has a great values and is a good company to work for.

      Cons

      Cold door knocking is bottom end sales. If you have any sales experience, either B2B, or B2C, look elsewhere. For best sales results, you’ll have to work evenings and weekends to find people at home. Nielsen, IS the industry, outside of this company, there are really no other growth opportunities within the TV/ Radio ratings research industry. Working remotely can be nice, but in this job it is less than ideal. You essentially spend 40 hours a week alone in your car going from address to address. Sometimes driving 100-200 miles a day. Also, as a salaried employee, you shouldn’t have to track your hours and turn in a time card. However at Nielsen, you do. And you have to get OT approval. Which doesn’t make much sense. Technology desperately needs to be updated. The marketing reps use to recruit homes is completely outdated, and embarrassing to present.

      Pros

      Nielsen generally hires outstanding people- great collaborators, smart, customer focused regardless of your function. I worked here for many years and had many opportunities to grow.

      Cons

      Was a great company to grow with for many years but they have fallen behind in areas competition has excelled, namely technology/ managing/leveraging big data. Leadership got short sighted and gave the business away.

      Pros

      Used to be a really good company until 10 years ago Only pros - ability to work from home

      Cons

      Painful reviews each year just to get a cost of living pay rise It's not what you know in Nielsen it's who you know Have a big thing about being a diverse employee now MOSIAC they call themselves - care more about foreign workers and how good it looks for them to employ them - sod the people that work for you for years Completely out of touch, no open & honest - try and talk to your managers manger or above - it's a definate NONO HR non existant
