Pros

Looks good on your resume.

Cons

Salaries are insultingly low. You are expected to work 2-3 times your job description. Management ignores you unless you are in the cool club. So unless you want to work in sales sucking up to management and professors while working an expected 70hrs a week making a low base salary and hoping the economy doesnt suck so bad you that by some miracle you make your bonus, its not worth it.

Pros

With in each role there is always room for growth and self improvement. It is common for employees to move within the company through job growth and new opportunities. Over the years I have watched summer interns become entry level employees who have over time developed new skills and moved into new positons with more challenge and responsibilites. Pearson is a company that retains employees and you rarely see turnover.

Cons

If you do not work in the city the commute and commute expense can be something you would want to take into consideration.
