Essendant reviews

Company is headquartered in Deerfield, IL an affluent suburb of Chicago. If you work there you have a better chance of success. Otherwise you could lose your job at any time or for any reason. There is a superiority complex within the company such that all locations other than Deerfield are considered stepchildren, so to speak.

Based on my experience with them, Essendant's management is complacent and ineffectual. Although management paid lip-service to welcoming suggestions, they routinely dismissed and ignored my suggestions for improvement. My pay was embarrassingly low. Citing budgetary reasons and no fault on my part, Essendant terminated my contract with no warning, and no acknowledgement of the harm they are doing. When my contract was terminated, I only heard from the agency representative; I never heard a word from any of the glad-handing management people at Essendant. (Thanks to many great people at the client site, I now work for the client in a much better position -- no thanks to Essendant!)
