Pros

-the people at Pearson are great. I've made life-long friends at Pearson -the benefits are great, if a bit expensive, and of course they get better the longer you're there (more vacation days) -great locations

Cons

-endless restructuring over at least the past 5 years -people are let go and no announcements are made. Basically they just let those left behind slowly figure it out -no team spirit. Everyone wants to protect what little remains of their little fiefdoms at the expense of cooperation across groups -the employee self-assessment process is a joke and has been retooled endlessly over the past several years. Currently no one can get more than a 3 out of 5 unless you're getting that person a promotion -the culture and values of the company as expressed on paper are not what is experienced in everyday life there anymore, they're just slogans that mean nothing

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.
