      Pros

      Good Benefits Name recognition in the market - opened a lot of doors for sales Tuition reimbursement program Opportunity to transfer to other divisions

      Cons

      Management at some of the divisions less than stellar Company is very large - easy to become a number and feel insignificant in the big scheme of things Extreme amount of pressure to maintain and grow sales despite economic times and outdated technology Divisions all operate independently and do not take advantage of the power of a large corporation

      Cons

      Incompetent training, spent 7 days training on products and only half a day training for their Ticket system. Employees acknowledge that very rarely do they hirer into the fold.

      I absolutely love Pearson. You won't get rich, but then, you should already know that if you want to work in publishing.

      Pros

      Almost all the people are good, smart, caring people. Every manager I've worked for genuinely cares about me and my professional development. Also has loads of benefits: 401(k), tuition reimbursement, scholarships for your kids, discounts on phone plans and auto purchases, and more that I can't remember.

      Cons

      The salary is not ideal for the cost of living in San Francisco and is generally very low for a white-collar, college-educated industry.
