Pros

Almost all the people are good, smart, caring people. Every manager I've worked for genuinely cares about me and my professional development. Also has loads of benefits: 401(k), tuition reimbursement, scholarships for your kids, discounts on phone plans and auto purchases, and more that I can't remember.

Cons

The salary is not ideal for the cost of living in San Francisco and is generally very low for a white-collar, college-educated industry.

Pros

Pearson has many bright, informed, compassionate people at the sub-VP levels. When given the budget, they produce top-notch, innovative materials.

Cons

The in-house staff is often forced to lower the overall quality of their products to stay within budget. It must be really hard to control quality when you can't pay for it.
