Pros

You should now consider yourself warned. I wish I was.

Cons

Newsmax managers fear the CEO and the spooky treasurer and spread fear to employees for a good reason. Many people don't often last a year like the 4 of the 10 people laid off since January 2018 will say. Too many layoffs to count in past 3 years. Ask for a tour of both sides before you take job. You'll see 50 to 100 empty desks and they won't be getting refilled. The reason for all the lay offs is that CEO has a lavish lifestyle he pays for out of the business, and a tv station that not many watch so it's losing a god awful amount of money every month.

Pros

Pay is ok. There are some nice and talented people working there.

Cons

The company is totally dysfunctional. The IT department is anonymously managed by the broadcast department whose executives are not qualified to manage and direct the company's technological practices yet make all the decisions. On the other hand, the IT department is frequently criticized and blamed for any perceived shortcomings, which are brought on by a lack of leadership accompanied by a lack of respect for the skills of its members. Management does not have the technical experience to manage its subordinate staff. Managerial policies are based on privilege and area code. As far as technical issues, they would rather feign than correct and fix. Efficiency and aptitude are not supported and any attempt at it gives way to authoritarian compliance. Communication is sub-par at best. Backstabbing, blaming, and finger pointing become common place behavior among co-workers. Best practices run into dictatorship and cover up. Accuracy collides with intentional diversion and disinformation campaigns launched for the purpose of surviving the outputs of the systemic inefficiency that plagues this company.

Pros

The Pros is you learn what bad tv is. You won’t feel out of place because everyone is just finding out what to do

Cons

Your co workers are fake. If you are black you better be republican and not voice any opinion. They will fire you so fast for no reason at all. Nobody in the building knows what the CEO wants to do. Everything is a guess. Super bias conservative station in NYC (makes no sense).
