Penguin Random House Environment Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The perks, the canteen, interacting with warehouse staff.

Nothing Get high level Managemejt to run that shift properly!

i learn new skills often and personal/professional development are clearly important to management, yet promotions and growth are still extremely slow, largely due to the oligopoly of the book industry

Review from Operations Dept

Everyone is friendly and willing to help you

Corporate treats use amazing with insurance, 401k, bonus and unbeatable vacation time. Local managers are horrible, as least on 3rd shift. I can't speak for other shifts.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

More authentic and inclusive. More diverse leadership.

Encoursge big picture thinking; get employees to buy in to company mission and vision

Review from Operations Dept

Management has a lot of favorites that they tend to use over others. Unsafe work areas are a real problem at my WESTMINSTER site.

Employees are confused because of lack of direction and feel overwhelmed.
