      Pros

      Terrific benefits, autonomy on projects, and great growth opportunities

      Cons

      The book business is tough! It's hard to promote books in this news climate, and sometimes it can be discouraging.

      Pros

      The people are wonderful, and the purpose--making books that people will love--is hard to beat.

      Cons

      Long hours. It wasn't uncommon to work an 11 hour day, and on the way out see others still at their desk.

      Best publishing company to work for.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are kind, creative, and intelligent; the company is committed to increasing diversity in both the staff they hire and the books they publish. Great vacation and leave policies.

      Cons

      While PRH has the highest entry-level salaries in the publishing industry, it’s still very hard to make ends meet in NYC on just under 40k. On the editorial side, there are few opportunities for promotions and moving internally is neither publicized nor encouraged.
