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

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.
