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

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
