Pros

mission to help people advance in their life through learning

Cons

Transformation is a disaster. Too slow, too vague, too many chiefs and not enough team work. New structure is not flatter and more agile...it is more layers and red tape to get anything done. No concern with Pearson employees anymore. Just concern for the customer (i.e. the revenue).

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.
