Essendant reviews

Management team is a joke, they clearly do the absolute bare minimum to “earn” their salary. No one speaks up to corporate to shine a light on their atrocious business movements. We’ve since closed down a majority of all our facilities or basically surrendered them to competitors. The associates including myself have no real voice due to neglectful leadership. All meetings are a facade. I can imagine that it’s worse in the other facilities.

I went say this ship is sinking faster than the Titanic, but that would be insulting to the Titanic. Horrible leadership over the last few years that culminated with the most recent regime and CEO deciding to walk away from ~50% of their revenue and in turn lay off almost the same % of the staff. This includes people who have been with the company for decades and have been nothing but loyal. Instead of finding ways to get out of the mess by making better business decisions, they instead decide to do mass layoffs time and time again. But don't worry, right before announcing a layoff they will first "coincidentally" announce a change to their severance program and give what amounts to peanuts. This company won't be around in a year which is really sad considering it has been in business for over 100 years. To someone reading this and considering a job there in any department, do yourself a favor and delete your application.
