Pros

Great benefits: company car, free gas, work from home, make own schedule.

Cons

Feels like you are always "on the clock", working in high crime areas door to door late into the evening and in all weather conditions with little regard for personal safety.

Pros

I have worked for Nielsen for 7 months, and I absolutely love what I do! The company has tons of resources and is the most organized company I’ve worked for to date. My position is a membership rep and I can see myself doing this for the next 20 years! I almost didn’t take this opportunity because of so many negative reviews however I feel the people who wrote some of those reviews could not handle a position like this.... This position gives you a ton of freedom and flexibility and to be successful you have to know how to manage yourself and your time. The company car of course is a perk as well as all the benefits the company offers. As an outside sales rep all my career I can say working for Nielsen has been the best for me by far (having an awesome, knowledgeable manager also helps!).

Cons

The only con I honestly felt was that the bonuses were quarterly however as of this spring they were switched to monthly (for my role - membership rep) and I absolutely love the bonus structure now!

Pros

management was great in Cincinnati and great camaraderie with fellow workers makes nielsen a nice place top work. They always chose nice places to have company meetings and this is really a job with great autonomy. If you like overtime, you will certainly be happy as this job has alot of overtime to offer.

Cons

some of the houses and people you encounter make you want to quit. You will also put in alot of hours and may work late many nights per week. Another downside is the amount of homework you have. By homework I am referring to the amount of paperwork you will have to do when you get home.
