Pros
- People are generally very nice. Colleagues are supportive. - The work can be meaningful at times. - The Glenview facility is nice. The buildings have many enormous windows. Although the furnishings are somewhat dated, maintenance is thorough. There is a wooded walking trail. - The company is basically financially stable--an important attribute during this period of economic uncertainty.
Cons
- Long hours. - Unreasonable expectations by senior management. - Staff is somewhat discouraged by the ever increasing scope of projects, decreasing timeframes, and decreasing staff levels coupled with upper management’s enthusiastic voicing of the mantra "efficiency and accountability." - As of March 2009 Pearson Education continues on an going 2+ year reorganization coupled with seemingly random layoffs and department eliminations. The reorganization has "been near the end" for 18 months.
