Pearson Vue test centers

How many times have you had issues with this "wannabe" professional test center? IMO, this whole company sucks, and if I had the capital I would push them out of business. It seems they have done that with Prometric, but I am not sure how, perhaps they have the capital, idk.
I have had issues of 3 different Pearson Vue test centers in the past year that it's difficult to take certifications with them. Thankfully and hopefully proctored exams at home will become more available.
When I tested with Prometric in the past, it was a much better experience for ME. However, it doesn't seem they are doing IT certs anymore from what I can tell, only healthcare certs.
Just a little morning rant, if you want to express your opinion mannnnnn (or woman)...feel free to post

My LPI Linux exam was at a different location in a different town, the facility was basically a hole in the wall in some run down business lot. It was run by this guy who tried to rush everything from taking my picture, to getting all my stuff in a locker set up that looked like it was taken from a high school gym. He only had 2 test rooms and they were cramped and for some bizarre reason had fake plants really close to the computers and they were distracting. Like right on the desk. And he had headphones for the computers that looked like they were bought for $3 at a garage sale. Plus the guy was really rude too, looking away from me and talking behind a large computer despite my repeated informing him that I’m deaf and I need him to face me so I can lip-read. I have the location saved so that I can remember to not ever book an exam there again.
Some Pearson locations are decent and some are not so much, I think it’s just a matter of who is running the center.

Where are you guys located?
The PearsonVue facial recognition policy for online testing raised my eyebrows. I don’t pay hundreds of dollars to take an exam just to help them build an AI product. If they want to use me to improve their AI, then they should be providing compensation. No, taking exams at home with online proctoring isn’t compensation considering the COVID-19 situation.
In my opinion, it’s really crappy that they tied taking exams remotely to agreeing to this policy. It’s extra sh*tty that they make it seem like you can opt out of it by scheduling through their call center when in reality you can’t.
