Pros

There is career stability at Pearson if you are hard working, have integrity, and think creatively. Thinking creatively is also a double-edged sword.

Cons

One Must think creatively to figure out ways to have your work recognized by management. The down-side of creativity at Pearson is not that it is used for the betterment of the company/division, but rather it is a skill needed to engage management in order to simply complete your assigned tasks.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
