      Pros

      Friendly co-workers who are passionate, great perks, (free perks!), great name for C.V., free coffee

      Cons

      Not much room for career advancement, many areas of the business are deadend. Issues with the industry as a whole can lead to morale dips.

      Pros

      Benefits and good systems make PRH a great place to work for folks in publishing. There is a drive for excellence and people are highly committed to their work.

      Cons

      The benefits are so good that it can be hard for people to leave. One downside: the slow but ongoing layoffs due to the integration of Penguin and Random House.
