Pros

I started my career at Pearson and there were lots of opportunities for advancement internally.

Cons

Salaries (at the time, could be different now) were low in the editorial department; I couldn't help but associate that with a predominantly female workforce. I was young at the time and wish I knew how to self-advocate or had a resource like Glassdoor to help me see my role in context.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
