Pearson Employer Reviews

Low paying positions, with extremely inconsistent work schedules. Employees in these positions treated as if they were brainless - time clocked down to a fraction of a minute. Enjoyed my coworkers and the exam candidates - Pearson management very transparent, other than the periodic email proclaiming some other change to squeeze out another hour of – more... time from the Center. The job was not difficult on the plus side, requiring some knowledge of technology and lots of people skills. – less

Normally works over 40+ hours of week
Have been driven by learning new technology and testing methodology

Management was usually to busy to train me so the vast majority of my skills were self-taught. I was eventually cut due to the ever waning publishing industry.

I enjoyed the work, the collaboration, but not the competition or the stress.

Arrived at work and did my inspection on my forklift to make sure everything was working properly. Checked how much and what work was to be done for the day. I learned to drive different types of machinery and to be more responsible in my work in that I double-checked that all it was done correctly and properly. The management was a great set of people – more... to work with. They helped me to always do the best that I could and pushed to go over and beyond my call of duties to help me better myself. My co-workers and I worked great as a team. We had a healthy and competitive environment where my co-workers and I would compete to see who had put out more product at the end of the shift. – less

Review, edit, and scan test documents for 17 states.
I learned how state wide test documents are made, data entry skills, and how to properly grade documents.
Management was great, always kept us motivated and offered plenty of compliments.
I enjoyed my co-workers tremendously.
The hardest part of the job was the hours, 6 am to 6 pm
most enjoyable part – more... of the job was the staff. – less

Great place to wrok for and great people. Easy going as long as you get your work done,

Pearson is the leader in educational books, but the supervisors lack people skills.

Company out sourced jobs.

Low-pay and seasonal position with no benefits. Good for
a temporary job.

I worked there eight years and all I can say is it made me into a man.

Pearson is an excellent place to start out, if you need experience with powered equipment or warehousing. The management team is easy going and fun to work with, and the small crews all get along well.
The hardest part of the job is unloading certain shipments, which are known to be difficult, but management rotates the assignment so that one person – more... isn't doing it every time.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the management team and crew, who are friendly and forthcoming with training and answers to questions, very patient with new comers and quick to lend a hand. – less

customer service Representative training class should have been better learning materials and people that actually trained the class should have focused on what questions callers ask

Pearson work environment is very good and flexible.The management is very understanding and cooperative in addressing the issues.

I work in a department full of lively and personality-driven people. Specifically meaning that right off the bat you can tell that they're successful because they bring a positive social force with them and apply it to whatever they do. I get rewarded and recognized for good work and so I like coming here every day. Though the work environment is far – more... better than other places I have been, Publishing itself is going through some major changes, and major setbacks are coming for those who have built their careers in it, so I'll take the good with the bad. – less

management was very nice and had communication with each other. co-workers were the same. i learned to drive a fork lift there.

Company offers great products and services to students and learners. It is a decent company with values as it pertains to their products.

I've learned an enormous amount during my time at Pearson, from my very talented colleagues and as a result of working on high-profile, high stakes, market-leading educational materials. I have enjoyed being part of a world class team.
