Pros

Because the company is not US-based, the benefits are actually decent... for a US company. Policies at Pearson favor the employee a tad more than those the usual US company.

Cons

Pearson outsources EVERYTHING, so it is very difficult to get help with anything: HR, IT, you name it... if you can't figure it out on your own, you're going to be on a wild goose chase until you find a person you can ping directly. The company is also aging POORLY. Their technology is ancient, over-complicated, rigid, and FRAGILE. Take a look at user reviews from university students on Reddit - they're APPALLINGLY bad, and the students are right.

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.
