Pros

There are none to speak of just don't do it.

Cons

Absolutely the worst place in terms of political and favoritism. CEO has his favs and no matter how they act they are never disciplined or fired. He is also the biggest micro managing person I have ever seen. Just save yourself some stress and don't work here.

Pros

The free food. The free drinks.The free tv watching.

Cons

When you do the math for your part-time with bills you realize how even working in a corporate environment is not the best. I was let go without notice. One second I was working the next day I was gone. I think the worst types of companies are the ones that smile in your face but plots to get rid of you. If you're working at NewsMax HQ then you will find out why people don't talk to you- it's simple you won't last long. It's friendly people with venom behind their backs. I don't approve of the COO nor do I approve of the products they sell or represent. Conservative is one word but more of an agenda. Your views don't matter if it's not with the CEO views of support for Trump, border walls and etc. This is a relaxed environment at first but even this is naive. Don't work here take your positions elsewhere.

Thank you for your input. We are always trying to improve our sales, as well as our communication. The department you were part of is a new area for Newsmax and we have been working to improve the exact things that you mentioned. Unfortunately, that department is results based.

Pros

Not one I can think of.

Cons

The glowing reviews written here in 2019 were commissioned by CEO Chris Ruddy and managed by CFO Andy Brown and HR. Few FT employees remain. They are seeking to hire. DO NOT put Newsmax on your resume. It's a death knell in the broadcast and media industry.

Newsmax has over 120 full time employees and while that may be down from the largest employee count that we've been, it's not honest to say that there are few full time employees remaining. Our TV distribution is at the largest that it's ever been since the inception of TV and content changes are planned for the next few months that will continue to improve the success of the company. I'm sorry that Newsmax wasn't a good place for you, but we're constantly trying to improve the company and the offering to our employees and value the feedback from our staff.
