Pros
Work from home, flexibility in daily schedule, company car, laptop, & iphone, medical/dental/life insurance.
Cons
The job itself. Having to drive/battle traffic several hours each day to reach the selected homes, and then try to recruit families to participate in the Nielsen TV Ratings is an inherently dangerous, tedious and frustrating. It entails relentless stalking people at their homes in the hopes of imposing a sales presentation on them about the "benefits" of being a Nielsen family, which are few indeed. In this day and age most people are immediately suspicious, unwelcoming, and put off by having some stranger show up at their home unannounced to solicit participation in an archaic and increasingly irrelevant TV audience measurement service.
