Pearson reviews

It is a challenge to balance work/life when working at a high-stress type of job. Pearson is no exception to this--a cyclical industry like college publishing requires travel and long hours during peak season, and what used to be the "off" season does not exist anymore. Still there are perks to make up for it, and I would highly recommend it as a great place to work.

Within the Production Department: There is a disconnect between the self-praise Upper Management gives itself (and the bonuses they receive) and low-level Employees Senior Management does not spend time visiting Employee areas to inquire about Employee lives or projects, much less level of satisfaction. No effort is made to bolster Employee morale or offer viable career paths. Employees in Production receive little to no recognition (including no special monetary bonuses for their products that do well in the marketplace, unlike their Editorial colleagues who do) for the hard work and dedication they show to producing an outstanding product. Morale is low, and employees have no incentive to work better or smarter, other than to maintain the status quo.
