Penguin Random House

This review applies to the office in downtown Toronto, only a few blocks from the TTC fand Union Station.  Work is remote now because of Covid.  PRHC was really great helping people adjust to the Covid changes.  This was once a really great place to be.   There was a mixture of publishing veterans who were here to help and mentor all the new employees.  You really felt like you were part of the past and future at the same time.  (All of the professionals were let go and some of the most toxic managers were promoted.  And their managers are even worse.)  Send help PRH Corporate.

PRHC is not very different from any other publishing house experience. In the last few years they have loved to throw about the term work / life balance, even though there is almost none associated with this company. They really like to think they are inclusive and diverse, but there are so many incredible talents that they bleed yearly. These talented people think that they're going to be able to affect change from within, but the culture is so toxic and ingrained that those people burn out and move on as fast as they can (good for them). They like to complain about the Indigo big wigs having too many Yes Men in upper mgmt, but they're just as bad here.

Random House is a great place to work if you are ambitious and have a passion for publishing. I started working at Random House when the ebook project first kicked off and so it has been a challenging, exciting and very rewarding experience watching its universal growth and development. I love books and so being able to create an ebook that hopefully matches the enjoyable reading experience of a physical book has been amazing.

A typical day of work starts at 8 a.m  to 4 p.m, Monday to Friday. I learned to become a team player, focused and alert at work especially when am scanning the books returned. Get along well with co- workers. Well, this job assigned to me as a return operator is easy and simple.

Dealing with Customer Returns and Pick/Pack/Shipping duties.

Being my first work experience in Canada, I felt very welcome by both staff and management. I learned that unity and happy staff got great production.

Loved the job. The hardest part was when 80% of the Company moved to the States and they down sized.

Like a family. Staff and Management were a privilege to work with.

It was a short experience, where you get out what you put in. I was able to try many aspects of an Editorial Assistant's job, and was even trusted with submissions. Overall, I learned a lot and developed many new skills in a short time.

VERY GOOD COMPANY, I HAVE LEARNED ALOT

I ENJOYED DOING GIFT SHOWS, DOING, AND WORKING WITH OVER TWO THOUSAND ACCOUNTS.

Some of the best managers I’ve ever had. I always felt supported and learned a lot about myself during my time here. The managers were committed to my development as a professional.

A great work environment, friendly people, access to plenty of books, never seen so many books in one place except a library. Creativity is very much encouraged.
