      Nice place to work, as long as you never worked for Penguin.

      Pros

      Great Benefits, Nice working conditions. The building is fairly modern and well ventilated. Good location in downtown Manhattan. As long as you never worked for Penguin you probably have a decent chance of getting work there.

      Cons

      If you were unlucky enough to work for Penguin then Random House employees replaced everybody and Random House wants to cut all ties to anyone who used to work for Penguin. There was a merger you see in 2015 - the same way Germany merged with Poland in 1939. It's laughable that 'Penguin' has been kept in the company name. It was nice while it lasted. Ah well, time to move on.

      Pros

      Great co-workers, fun work sometimes, very easy work, Great trainers always try to teach you everything before sending you off on your own, learned many things, computer and equipment.

      Cons

      Management sucks and is rude, as is HR, nobody tries to help if you have a problem, the group leaders are rude, and there's gossip about everyone and everything
