      Pros

      The people at this company were absolutely outstanding, everybody was passionate about their job and it used to feel like a huge family. PTO and flexibility is great, they have fully embraced a remote workplace and encourage taking time off. There is a lot of potential for growth here if you put in the effort.

      Cons

      Over time the passion and camaraderie has diminished. Year after year bad financial numbers were announced and raises/bonuses were unknown, through no fault of the Connections Education business unit of Pearson. Many senior people have left and the company landscape is changing. In addition to raises/bonuses going down every year the cost of insurance has risen dramatically. There is no consistency in pay between people in the same position, I personally witnessed two people with the same title, duties and general performance having one person make half of the other. No matter your performance it is impossible to make up this gap as even large promotions will only carry approximately a 10% raise.
