Pros

- Great benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, etc.) - Tuition reimbursement - Great PTO policy (vacation + sick + personal + employee designated holiday) - Company sponsored volunteer days - There's a lot to do outside of your day to day work (social committee, employee resource groups, etc.) - Work from home opportunity (depending on your position) - Great coworkers - Mother's Room for nursing mothers to pump

Cons

- Minimal room for advancement. In Pearson (Online Learning Services division) they don't promote most positions from within. - Revolving door: people are constantly quitting, most times because that the only way to advance their career - Work environment depends on who your manager is, there's no consistency of culture so you could either have an amazing experience because of the manager you have of it could be the worst place to work for the same reason

Decent pay. Not much else.

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.
