PDL NO LONGER EXISTS!

Pros

This was a dynamic part of the Pearson organization, and leadership was solid. People who worked here are awesome - knowledgable, passionate, driven to do the right thing for the students and teachers.

Cons

Business Unit was disbanded at the end of 2012. PDL has been swallowed by the larger corporate entity, and the senior leaders were let go, rather cold-blooded and harshly. The products are now floundering in direction and "fitting in" with the larger Pearson portfolio.

Pros

Good benefits. Flexible work hours.

Cons

You can't get anywhere in the company unless you spend 2 years as an outside sales rep. Very narrow minded in that sense. They lose a lot of good people. There's some great sales people there but there's also a lot of dopes that get promotions because they go golfing with the boss.
