Pros

Offer part time positions so that helps anyone who needs to make some money but limited with time due to commitments like school, children or caring for an I'll family member.

Cons

I liked Nielsen when I first started working. As of 2020, Upper Management started coming down hard on employees with performance expectations. If there are any slight miscommunications, they treat employees as if their being dishonest or have ulterior motives right off the bat. This creates a very low morale. Quality is also constantly dropping in on you and listening to your calls and watching your screens. You're under pressure of getting people on the phone to agree while forced to follow a very flawed script. If Quality sees you missed even the slightest word, you get reprimanded. Your performance is not always based on you but rather whether people want to participate or not because we do ask for a lot of personal information. Very stressful! Your job is always on the line and not at all worth all that effort for what you're getting paid! They cut back on incentives and micromanage more now.

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.
