Longman Pearson
Marketing Assistant (Former Employee), White Plains, NY –
I filed paper work daily as well as data entry in Excel. The work atmosphere was great. I enjoyed working there because I was able to move around and get to know everyone. My co-workers were excellent. There wasn't a hard part at all.

Hot warehouse
General Laborer (Former Employee), Lebanon, IN –
Everyday, you would clock in then report to a specified area for a team meeting before reporting to your assigned position, which for me was the packing area. The work was not always stable and reliable, and there was often some downtime. My manager was not very agreeable and often had disputes with those who worked under him, and my coworkers were – more...  often not willing to work as a team, which was one of the most difficult parts of the job. – less

Nice place to work short term
Equipment Operator (Current Employee), Cranberry NJ –
A typical day at Pearson consist of hard labor to keep it simple. Depending on which department your in daily productivity for an equipment operator consist of 250 to 280 cases daily. Productivity is only allowed to increase never to decrease. At Pearson you learn how to communicate with different cultures and how to operate heavy equipment safely. – more...  The hardest part of the day is waking up in the morning, i live in the NY and Pearson is located in Cranberry NJ. That means i have to wake up really early just to commute and make on time. The best part of it all would be your co workers. There's a lot of great people working there, there's plenty of snitches and people who want to do harm instead to good deeds but every work place has those. At the end of the day the people around you including some leads make your day and help you smile. One of the things that make it Pearson not a great place for a career is there temp program. You start as a temp with no benefits for 6 months, Pearson does this to save money by not paying for employee benefits. You might be a great employee, but you are most likely to get laid off after your hours are completed. – less

Scorer (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX –
Pros: meeting new people
Cons: training is only one day
Pearson just recently changed their pay scale from per hour to per diem. Reading the results of the students responses makes me realize that our future resides in children that will not be ready for the world.

Busy at times with lack of leadership skills from higher managers for business .
Supervisor (Former Employee), Austin, TX –
Pros: health insurance, stock program, 401 k
A day at pearson is like never knowing which way the day is going to begin, to many changes during the process after most of the employees have already began working. I've learn from this company that middle management and upper managers need to be able to make business decisions for business improvements and agree on them together and a positive manner – more...  and also be able to work together as professionals from other departments.To many managers wanting to make decisions for overall company improvements causing stress throughout the pearson company.Also working for pearson allows you to meet wonderful working people from all over the world which I enjoyed the most about this company and I do believe that Pearson can become a good company to work for some day. – less

Productive and a fun work environment
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Bloomington, MN –
Pros: team work and helping people
Cons: call times and small bathrooms
Come in and Administer Licensed Exams/Fingerprints for Candidates and Students Nationwide over the phone.

I learned the true meaning of exquisite customer service and all related programs/licenses/exams/policies/procedures/etc. of the job.

Management was fair, honest and fun. As a new employee I received the best training and hands on experience.

My – more...  Co-workers were fun, energetic, focused and all around excellent to work with.

The hardest part of my job was learning and administering new exams/policies/and procedures to customers. My Audio times/reviews were very challenging. However, once I became more familiar with the exams and took every bit of constructive critisism as learning tools, applied them to my best ability, I became an excellent Customer Service Rep for the call center and each day was an achievement.

The most enjoyable part of my occupation was the chance to be part of one of the best company teams out there. To contribute and represent the company and to help people all over the country further their education and improve their lives...Every moment was enjoyable and my difficult tasks I took as a way to improve my profession and my life. – less

good place to work if you have a good manager
Financial Analyst (Former Employee), Iowa City, IA –
Pros: excellant pay structure and benefits
Cons: some departments tend to reorganize often
Pearson is a very good place to work if you have a good manager. My manager was extremely caring about personal development and growth as well as getting the job done. I was downsized when upper management decided to decentralize a lot of the tasks previously centralized to that department. I'd love to find another job at Pearson again.
