Pros

Attracts some of the brightest people in the industry, good quality products, opportunity to meet others in the industry and network, some flexibility in hours

Cons

Management is more concerned with annual bonuses than providing good customer service, company reputation has suffered because of this, sales reps without teaching experience don't connect well with teachers in marketplace. Company policy expects much more than the typical 7 or 8 hour work day.

Pros

Friendly, ethical, spreading education throughout the world is critical of the organization's mission. Female CEO. Work/life balance. Philanthropic. International presence.

Cons

Size of the organization can be a challenge. Even within the domestic US. Actually being able to review resource availability very difficult.

Pros

I do graphic design work for Pearson. I would say, that as a company, Pearson tries to be a fair as possible. Where I work the people are pleasant to work with, the facility we work in is nice, the equipment I use is good. All in all, it makes for a very pleasant work experience.

Cons

It's the same negative of working for any company -- someone above you makes decisions that impact you, and it's not always what you desire to happen.
