Pros

* Work life balance * Many dedicated and passionate people who believe in the product and its ability to change peoples lives in the world * Great international community of employees across all of Pearson * Important charter to help people learn English and better their lives

Cons

* Lack of investment has created a product that reads as a bit stale * Difficult to operate in the context of a major Pearson re-organization - creates too much internal focus and not enough external market focus * New leadership recently put in place lacks the experience, talent and ability to operationalize the business and succeed in rudimentary business processes.

Pros

Very flexible schedule. I'm in the eastern U.S. and heir high demand hours are 5am to 11 am... if you work during this time, you'll get a nice full schedule. But since they have students from all around the world, you can get hours all throughout the day into the evening with no problem. It's very flexible, you don't have to stick to a rigid lesson plan. You "coach" the student along in their activities, encouraging them and helping them with difficulties along the way. You address their English needs such as an English presentation they are working on or an email they need help with. Or, if they want, you practice business small talk. I really like the flexibility. They have recently merged with Learnship so we'll see what changes come along.... but so far, so good!

Cons

I have gaps in my schedule, which I'm not paid for and I'm not crazy about the fact that if students cancel more than 6 hrs before their class, I don't get paid. I'd prefer for it to be 12 hours. But, that unpredictability is to be expected in this line of work. Oh, and this isn't a problem for me, but it should be noted that they don't offer health insurance that I'm aware of.
