Low pay, no growth, no raises, micromanager CEO

Pros

Friendly colleagues, free food, good location

Cons

The company is wasting money and resources on a TV network that no one watches, while its mobile app is a catastrophe. People are moving to mobile devices, but you'd never guess that working at Newsmax. Work hours are intentionally vague to keep people on the job too long. There's no respect for employees.

Thank you for your comments. We have been working to build a stronger culture of success. Improvements in both TV and mobile are underway right now and will help improve the company as a whole. Also, the company has been able to offer cost of living pay increases for the past several years, but we are hoping to do better in the future.

Pros

The experience you get working in this fast-paced, media company. You also work with some incredibly talented people who will later become valuable resources for your future job hunt.

Cons

They have an incredibly high turnover rate, such that even the best and brightest regularly fear for their jobs. They also micromanage to the point of ridiculousness. Regular memos are sent out, random drug testing is in place and your every move on the computer is monitored.

Pros

There isn’t a single pro.

Cons

This is the most racist, homophobic, hateful environment I have ever experienced in my life. I legitimately cannot believe how in 2023, people have no shame in very loudly proclaiming their homophobic and racist stands. Do your mental health a favor and RUN AWAY. Do not accept any offer they give you.
