Pros

Management was very flexible when it came to balancing work and life outside of work. Benefits were excellent compared to the industry. some managers were excellent and a pleasure to work for but their power to promote was limited.

Cons

They re-orged so many times you could never count on your manager being the same from the beginning of the year to the end.

Pros

Basically a good company with excellent medical benefits and salary.

Cons

Pearson too often utilized copyeditors and proofreaders on a term of contract basis. Full timers are forced to continually re-train new hires each year, which was visibly draining on staff and frustrating for everyone.
