Pros

Pearson has some strong products and great potential. The employee smart, energetic people who care about what they do. Great Copley Square location with wonderful, subsidized cafeteria. Nice physical environment and good people.

Cons

The pay is really really low for the degree of expertise and level of responsibility and committment required. We've had five years of virtually no raises, with an ever-increasing volume of work. How much longer do they think they can draw from the same well of energy and enthusiasm? This is soul-crushing. It is also difficult to continually let down our customers because we simply don't have the bodies to keep up with their needs.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
