Pearson Development Editor reviews

Despite being a solid employee--I was given the overflow work from other PMs because I could work more efficiently than some, and I was also given the more complicated projects because I could manage them thoroughly and under tight deadlines--I was stymied whenever I attempted to discuss the possibility of moving up. AND, regardless of my good work, I received only the same 3% raise as everyone else at my level. Hard work was NOT rewarded, there was no reason for anyone to attempt to be more than mediocre. And when I left, they didn't even open a discussion of trying to get me to stay. I never felt valued, and I wasn't the only one. Turnover was high, and the best people were the first to leave when they realized they were going to get nowhere by staying.

There's nowhere to move in Custom. There's only 2 levels of work. The management is absolutely awful. They treat their employees with no respect and there is a culture of finger pointing. Management will often be sure to find a way to find you at fault for something that may have been out of your hands. If you attempt to loop in your manager for help early on, you will get completely mixed messages about whether this is appropriate and will often be told one thing now, and one thing later. There's no creativity, no room to do anything outside of your role. In short, thank your lucky stars they hire you on 6 month contracts and take that as your out.
