You need to do a complete overhaul of senior management and listen to some of your mid level employees. They come from awesome companies with much knowledge to share! They too want to serve our community.

Total Nightmare
|
|
Exciting to be apart of one of the most iconic Black media brands.
|
Essence Communications Inc. is a complete joke, run by the most incompetent “leaders” only looking out for their own good and pockets. At the beginning of the year, the company had mass layoffs making the working environment stressful with very few resources. Then there was the scandal of take back ESSENCE that happened this summer and the “internal investigation” that was really only a PR cover-up. Fast forward to the current furloughs. Totally irresponsible. We worked our butts off during the virtual Essence Fest while leadership knew this was coming. Early measures could have saved people’s jobs and allowed employees to receive pandemic assistance. This magazine is going to fold and it is extremely sad to see. What once was a dream job turned into a nightmare. Best of luck to the 5 people who remain on staff.

This company gave me a great opportunity to advance my skill set. Very project oriented environment and the management team worked close with the staff. Best work experience I ever had.

I worked there for 18 years. It was very hard to get an official management position before I left.

You should look within your staff to promote. You trained many good people, but you tend to overlook them.
