Pros

Pearson VUE was very good about granting time off. The IT folks are the "super stars" of the company so they are treated well, and given lots of incentives to do well.

Cons

Very high stress environment. Has a culture of finger pointing and placing blame. Management would often leave employees out to dry if a decision wasn't well received by the Senior Leadership Team. Also, the Bala Cynwyd office was a satellite office so it was not considered in big decisions made by the main office in MN.

Great seasonal opportunity. Can be repetitive and sometimes there are technical issues. Overall an easy quick job that is worth it if you stick through

None come to mind at all

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.
