Caxton Newspapers Reviews

 

Excellent and good working enviroment

It has lots of facilities and opportunities that some can get some career growth and opportunities learn and get some more experience. It helps me a lot to have training most courses like The Conflict Management to resolve and create a professional working enviroment. I also learn to work under severe pressure without any supervision,to have an experience of working with deadlines,to create your goals. To make every employee feels welcome to work as a team player.

Pros: Learning Opportunities
Cons: Public Holidays I work as to avoid queries from our consumers

BRILLIANT TRAINING ABILITIES

A typical day at work is answering to all new emails, answering switchboard, In bound & Out bound sales, compiling artwork, getting adverts approved, up-grading clients, collect out standing payments, email invoices, send quotes. I have a great relationship with my colleague's who I encourage & help. I have the ability to independently or in a team. From all my training I have learnt to be a strong sales person. I have learnt how to plan my day & how to be organised. I love talking & engaging with my clients, helping them build their business. Its challenging in this economy to cold call as most clients don't want to advertise & they are wanting to save their money.. But I love a good challenge.

Pros: Stable company, no retrenchment
Cons: no room for growth

Good learning curve

Typical work day includes making appointments and going out to interview sources, writing articles to publish online. I have a great relationship with my co-workers, we work well as a team. I have learnt the craft of interviewing people from different backgrounds - from security guards to CEOs of companies and politicians. I love gathering information for a story, doing research and interviewing the people in the story. The challenging part is being able to come up with different stories each day for our digital pages and chasing deadlines however I enjoy the thrill of it.

Pros: Great company for people who want to gain experience in the industry.
Cons: Not enough opportunities for growth.

Fast paced Industry

Caxton is a fast paced company as they do the Newspapers trough out South Africa which means there aren't anytime for downtime. At Caxton we are always on Deadline as we are pushing out Newspapers for all the Suburbs on a daily basis which means all calls IT Related needs to be attended to directly as they are being logged. The atmosphere at Caxton is great and the people as well, it really does feel like one big family as everyone are close with one another and always humorous. There are always stress and tension going around on a daily basis so it's what we all do day to day to make it through the day. The most challenging part is to make sure that all calls do get attended to as quick as possible so that we do not lose out on production which taught me and my team a lot about call management and how to work close to one another as a team to make sure things do go smoothly no matter the pressure. Here a Caxton it's all about hard work, we are always on the move!!

Pros: Good learning curve
Cons: Long working hours, no time to take leave, can't grow further from my position

Great opportunity.

A good company to work for at entry level and for the purpose of gaining work experience. It had a work friendly office environment and allowed for pressure to be easily handled through that. It was also very fast paced at times, especially during deadline days. The people were friendly and we worked well as a team as a team and individuals.

Pros: Interaction with people of different levels in various fields.
Cons: Night shift duty on alternate days,standby
