Pros

PRH was a great place to work. The Work/Life balance is really nice and the people are great. I felt as though the company cares about it's employees, for the most part. Benefits are wonderful, better than other, similar companies.

Cons

Unfortunately POC/minority employees tend to be paid less and there doesn't seem to be any effort to fix this. The only way to get any significant raise is to threaten to leave, and even then, this isn't guaranteed. Please take care of your current employees!

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
