      Factory-like, but professional

      Pros

      Very easy to get hired. No real interview process...I signed up online, was called that same day and offered a project, and simply had to submit documents to verify my qualifications. Started work the next day. The training was very thorough and everyone I've encountered has been friendly and professional. The work is generally easy and someone is always available to answer questions or provide assistance.

      Cons

      Scorers are temporary workers and as such there is no job security. When testing season is over, then there's no more work. You are assigned to one project at a time, so there's no guarantee you'll be working continuously--just like any other temp job. The amount paid per item is less than the advertised pay per hour if you work at the pace they expect. Work is monotonous as it is the same thing all day long.

      A great introduction into the field of textbook publishing, and a strong name to have on your resume.

      Pros

      Being employed here opens many doors in the field of publishing, and provides exposure to all facets of textbook publishing. Great people. Everyone works hard to accomplish goals and to turn out quality products The educational materials published by Pearson are excellent. Strong senior management.

      Cons

      Difficult to advance. Experience varies greatly by direct supervisor. If you have a great manager, your experience will be great. Otherwise, it may fall short of your expectations for professional development. Significant variability in strength of middle management.
