Pros

Your experience here will depend on your team and leadership. I was lucky to have a very supportive and flexible supervisor/manager combo, and because of their management style our team was efficient. If you're looking for a resume builder, this is a great place to do it. While Pearson will not support your professional development outside of Lynda.com videos, the job itself introduces you to the corporate world where you can gain valuable "beginners" experience to leverage elsewhere. The company mission is also worth working for, and there are still people around from the Connections Education days who care about providing a quality education to students in need of that option nationwide. The work at home option provides flexibility, but remote work can be found pretty much in any corporate environment. The 401(k) matching is very generous.

Cons

The thing to know is you'll work for Pearson, which means corporate profits and budget cuts rule all. You will not make a living wage here because the compensation is hilariously noncompetitive. The corporate politics and poor compensation has morale at an all time low, to the point that they need a "culture crew" to show that they're at least trying. It is also important to know that Pearson Online and Blended Learning has never been named "Top Workplace" by the Baltimore Sun; Connections Education was.

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.
