Pros

his role may appeal to someone who prefers a highly controlled environment with little need for independent strategy or creativity. Expectations, messaging, and processes are clearly dictated, and there can be downtime depending on call attendance

Cons

The culture is unsupportive and can feel intimidating rather than developmental. Onboarding is about one week and largely consists of watching pre-recorded videos, with zero real coaching. There is no opportunity for outbound outreach, everything is scripted, and you are required to use company email templates without deviation. Calls are pre-set (3-4 a day) and labeled as “qualified,” but the show rate sits around 30%, making quota extremely difficult to achieve. At the time of my tenure, no one on the team was hitting quota, and the base salary is low relative to expectations. Questions are not always welcomed, and feedback may be delivered publicly (you will be made an example of) Direction is limited; new hires are expected to figure things out using a vague document that covers only a handful of scenarios. Job security can feel uncertain, with reports of employees being let go abruptly and with little explanation. CEO likes to call people out in a group setting.

Pros

Great people to work with, they're all very enthusiastic and happy about their roles especially the higher up people like management and your coaches, who check in on how you're doing.

Cons

You make no money basically unless you force people to buy your magazines which honestly very little people will. I dont know why this company is telling their "publishers" they can make great money when they cant really. They basically make you do their work for them and it's in a dying market already. No one buys magazines anymore unless you're 60+. Espescially not ones that are just chock full of ads that can easily go digital and be seen by a bigger audience, hence actually helping their small business go somewhere. Very pyramid schemeish. If you want to actually have a good earning salary dont work here.

Our award-winning magazines are not for sale - they are 100% free and mailed directly to local residents. Every edition features a spotlight on a local family and includes other family-friendly, relevant content tailored towards the community it serves. We understand the Publisher role is not for everyone, but we've had hundreds of entrepreneurs build successful businesses because we offer one of the most impressive commission structures in the industry.
