What don't you like about working at Pearson?

"My experience with the Pearson Community Center as the Center Coordinator was bitter/sweet. There was an absolute lack of communication between upper management and middle mangement. the communication lines were totally disruptive and broken the majority of the time. We had several meetings concerning the lack of communication and following the chain of command. As the Center Coordinator, I had no input as to the hiring of my staff (new additional personnel). Concerning the Center decisions were made without my knowledge and/or given the opportunity to voice my input. Everytime I wanted to implement a contract class and/or program it was shot down by the COO (chief operating officer). He had very little knowledge and/or expereince in the daily operating functions of a Community Center. Thus the clients of the community were upset with the lack of activities fom the Center."

The existing personnel needs to be held accountable for their actions and the lack of control at the Center.
