Pros

Work from home. Generally co-workers are nice. Company car, laptop, phone. If you like to travel to wierd parts of the USA you will get your chance.

Cons

If you are a young proffesional looking for career development do not take this job! There are no openings and no desire to train and develope! Field Operation is a state of rapid contraction. If you have a family and do not want to travel, do not take this job! This is a pure sales job with a what have you done for me LAST WEEK attitude. Company is non responsive to the ugly metering equipment. Each metering device looks like a time bomb. What person would want this in their home? Furthermore, there is no sales training program. I worked here for 4 years and was very succesful but in the meantime have been looking for a better paying B2B sales position. Other companaies/HR people have a difficult time equating this to B2B.

Pros

Absolutley nothing. Which is a tragedy, because Nielsen was once an absolutely great place to work. I wanted to retire here. The culture used to be great, and I really loved being a part of this place. I loved my team, my management, and the people. Then along came the current CEO who is the classic example of a person who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. He took over and ran the company full speed ahead in to the iceberg. And to try and save the sinking ship, he laid off literally thousands of highly experienced, highly trained, and highly engaged people to replace them with fresh overseas hires who know nothing about the company and expect them to be trained from the ground up to replace literally centuries of collective expererience and client relations. It's a disaster. This CEO shouldn't be trusted to run a lemonade stand.

Cons

Everything. Pay, job security, culture, management. Nothing is good here anymore. Don't take a job here unless you are truly desperate. And even then, it should only be as a stop-gap until you can find something else.
