Good Company, Bad Industry - Associate Publicist Penguin Random House Employee Review

Pros

People who you work with really feel like family. Everyone helps each other and bands together to make sure things get done. They really care about your personal wellbeing

Cons

Hours expected to work are very long and the low pay means you are barely able to support yourself for the first few years in this career. Some of the older employees in high level management jobs aren't open to change and insist on sticking with old practices that are no longer effective in the changing environment.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
