Penguin Random House Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

My Health Benefits through Anthem.

Review from Operations Dept

The salary I receive for my job

Health Insurance is amazing. 6 percent match for 401k is great.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

do way more than im supposed to for same wages

Management is disrespectful at the line level. Upoer management talks a good game, but line mananhers are rude and disrespectful. I would feel more positive if I were paid more and treated with respect

Review from Operations Dept

We had a miserable year as people but one of the best years ever for the business (largely because employees absorbed many costs of the business in quarantine) and instead of investing in human capital they bought the competition.

Review from Operations Dept

Working beyond 40 hrs/week is necessary to meet the needs of the job and the leadership and clients expect that and more but are unwilling to pay more for standard of living for employees residing in New York City. It's impossible to support a healthy family with this workload and pay.

Compared to other folks that handle the load I do , I feel I make less.
