Pros
Company car can be used for personal (i dont own my own car and i go on many personal roadtrips, I pay about $700 a year in total) Benefits, travel Base salary + monthly bonus depending on performance Self-starter make your own schedule Hit your numbers and get left alone Reputable company makes for recruiting easier The bonus structure (can also be a con) Company advancement- if you grind it out for a year apparently you can apply for any of the thousands of positions within the company worldwide, but no sooner than a year! And if your numbers aren't good and your manager doesnt like you much then you might as well start looking for another job if you don't like the position. Like life- the recruitment position is what you make it.
Cons
No office to meet coworkers (can be a pro too) The bonus structure is always changing so Nielsen can pay out less and less for signed homes Management is always under pressure and they take it out on recruiters They will tell you the households make up the ratings but really it is the demand of Nielsen's clients that drive the TV ratings Minimal post-training training, learn everything on your own (This can be good for ambitious and organized people, but if you are coming out of college or a first job then it can be overwhelming) I am not very organized and this job requires decent organization skills- still learning
