They call it a call center but in reality you are calling people off a list who did not renew their magazine subscription.

You receive no training on the computer and that would have been nice to have it. 

Your boss likes to watch NBA basketball on TV or other shows instead of doing his job. 

Most of the people you call are in their 70's who have not renewed their membership and you call the same list 3 days in a row??

The catch is they offer them free trials of additional newsletters hoping at there age they will forget so they won't cancel. 

When you offer 1 free off and they say no management gets upset  because you did not offer the other. 

Management says don't break rapport but yet want you to push clients to renew.

I see that as taking advantage of people.

They have no integrity & con older people and management only cares about $$$ not reputation. 

Management plays favourites and that is very obvious. If they like you then you get better lists to call. 

This way its easier to discriminate.

If your part time like I was they can make you look bad if they want. This is not a sales room because you can not establish value since they did not renew. 

Plus they never remove your name from a do not call list ..........

As an editor at Newsmax, I was excited to contribute to a growing media organization, but my experience quickly turned sour due to significant issues with the company's management of work-life balance and career growth opportunities.

The expectations placed on editorial staff are unrealistic, with frequent long hours and little regard for personal time. Burnout is inevitable, as there’s no effort to foster a healthy work-life balance. Weekend work and late-night deadlines became the norm, with no flexibility or support to alleviate the pressure.

Additionally, the company offers little in terms of career development. Despite putting in the hard work and going above and beyond, there’s no clear path for promotion or advancement within the editorial department. Senior positions seem unattainable, and professional growth is stifled. The lack of recognition for hard work and minimal opportunities to move up in the company left me feeling stagnant and undervalued.

If you're looking for a place to grow your career or maintain a balance between work and personal life, Newsmax is not the place for you.

I'm very impressed with Newsmax management and my colleagues.  I've known the CEO for more than a decade and he is an amazing entrepreneur who has built this company into a real contender in the media space, which is difficult.  On a daily basis, he will do or say something that really shows how much he is in tune with exactly what needs to be done to make this company even better.  So many CEO's don't really know what is going on in their company, including many I have worked for. Not so with Newsmax, this CEO knows his business very well and takes good care of us all.    

Most Managers in Customer Service were less qualified than the Service Representatives. High turnover rate. Promotions were never based on experience and qualifications. Business practices regarding subscriptions were not handled in the most ethical manner.
In the last year due to the Company's restructuring to acquire Newsmax TV, a lot of employees were laid off/fired.

Well, the Newsmax TV is new, so maybe after the dust settles from the growth spur, I imagine there should be new work opportunities.

Great place to work! Loved the diversity and the atmosphere of the call center. Literally team work made the dream work and the management team was very helpful and organized and they take care of the people that work there. Always had lunch catered when we hit our goals and they always made us feel good about ourselves and gave useful constructive criticism. I didn’t feel like a number. I felt like a member of a family that worked together towards a common goal. Never felt less than or inferior. I’ve had been at plenty of companies Newsmax is by far the best company I have ever worked for till this day. Thanks for the amazing experience-TD

The marketing department, and company as a whole, is quite chaotic. Each worker has multiple roles outside of his or her job description, making work never-ending. Pay and benefits are fair for corporate employees. The hardest part of the job is having great, rapid-fire answers and insights when questioned by the CEO regarding a project or a task, as well as the fear of being fired for personal reasons rather than under performance. The best part of the job is the camaraderie of the employees. However, the top level managers are disillusioned and not very helpful toward their employees.

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Micro-management! All the supervisor's and manager's had their favorites and if they didn't like you they sure would let you know it by being snobby and very rude. This place is ran by a bunch of 20 something's kids that haven't even got a clue as to how to properly manage a call center. Constantly gossiping instead of actually doing any work. And no room for growth with this place, not to mention the pay, you will never get a raise. Word of advice.....avoid this company like the plague.

Run away. This is not the company that anyone should ever work for. If you value  a healthy work environment and a company that wants to see that you are successful so that the company can be successful then this is not the company that you should work for. You might be fired without any warning without being given a reason like many people have been, that financial instability creates an unhealthy cut-throat work environment. Working for and at this company would only be recommend if you have nothing to lose, in summary; run away.

•	Interface with existing clients to obtain membership renewal subscriptions for political magazines, financial reports and nutritional supplements
•	Exceed weekly sales goals increasing the number of sales and revenue
•	Maintain detailed records for heavy sales volume
•	Coordinate with customers to achieve desired outcomes
•	Manage outbound telephone sales calls and generated leads
•	Execute orders according to the requirement of the client

I have to say that I was more than pleasantly surprised with my experience. It was overall a fun and exciting culture. My line of work what at the Boca Raton call center, where I was among a team twenty or so outbound call center agents. The call center in of itself was not by any means an ultimate career goal, but the company offers exciting opportunities from within. The benefits package is second to none.
