      Pros

      Good bennefits. Strong company with a solid businees plan. You don't have to worry about the company going out of buisiness.

      Cons

      Poor communication from leadership. Need to get all divisions on the same page and communicate vision.

      Pros

      Clean environment, good hours for a part-time job.

      Cons

      Very demanding. You have to score a minimum number of assessments per hour, within an expectable range of accuracy, or you are fired.

      Pros

      Large-scale market disruptions make for an exciting atmosphere for those who like to be a part of historical shift in educational technology. An incredibly talented, intelligent, and dedicated workforce Flexible work options, particularly accommodating for working parents of all ages Back-up daycare, matching 401K, employee stock purchase plan, and great benefits all around Employees care deeply about the quality of the product we ship, and share a passion for educational effectiveness.

      Cons

      I used to have a lot more cons here, but Pearson is actually working hard to rectify them. Most senior management have all risen up the ranks through sales, which has made some of them woefully unprepared to manage this shift towards hybrid print/software products. (Some have been more adaptable than others.) Internal leadership programs are shifts in organizational management will perhaps resolve this over time. Pearson feels quite top-heavy from an organizational perspective. This often causes paralysis within the organization, along with a diffusion of responsibility and lack of clear leadership.
