-Savvas (headed by Bethlam Forsa) furloughed a massive group of talented and dedicated people in 2020 for 6-8 mos in some cases. Within 1 mos of ending those people's hopes of getting any salary back that year, they gave "bonuses" to the rest of the company. Perhaps a better method might have been reducing everyone's salaries by 10% so that people who have been with the company for 20+ years retained their jobs AND those left weren't then handling two people's jobs.
-Benefits USED to be good at Pearson, Savvas continue to get worse and worse.
-Raises? Figure max 2.5%/yr over an 8-year period of time (across the board). Not even to cost of living standards. Negotiate your salary well before coming on board here!
-Nepotism. Shown at its worst in 2020, but pervasive through 2021, more at mid-management level (Director) promoting friends without any repercussions except talented people eventually leaving.
