Pros

A great group of coworkers. The water cooler talk is always interesting. It's an interesting job with good benefits. Used to have good options for flex time-- not so much since the economy has gone downhill.

Cons

I would say things are a bit of a mess at Pearson, at least on the K-12 editorial side of things. Poor decision making, poor management of resources, and no long term vision.

Pros

Its the worlds biggest education company, makes you feel that your job has a positive impact. The company takes care of its employees well, has one of the bet 401K plans for employees I know of.

Cons

Its a massive organization that has grown over the years through acquisitions. It takes some time before devisions consolidate and you can access new groups within the company.

People you work with are encouraging and friendly.The work environment is very positive. Very willing to pay overtime when there is extra work to be done and would send home early with pay when there is no work for that day.

Cons

Inconsistent Schdule. On your feet for whole day.
