      Pros

      While nothing is perfect, as a whole, Penguin Random House is a great company to work for. Not the best pay, but great benefits and time off make up for it. Very collaborative and team-oriented environment, plenty of opportunities for learning and development. You can get a lot of exposure to different departments no matter where you are.

      Cons

      The pay is competitive for publishing, but could be better to help retain valued employees.

      Pros

      PRH is a good company overall. I only worked on the Young Readers Sales side so can't speak for other departments. The benefits were excellent and HR was responsive to needs.

      Cons

      I only worked on the Young Readers Sales side so can't speak for other departments. On our side management was not very supportive. The hours were long and they base pay was low with no commission or bonus until you got to a certain level.
