Pros

Owners possessed great vision and ambition for the media brands that they acquired from Johnson Publishing Company in 2016 (EBONY and JET). However, they lacked the capital to invest in those visions. Sadly, those bright visions for the future were not brought to fruition for lack of funds.

Cons

Lack of funds made operating the media brand business nearly impossible. Traditional publishing is a pricey endeavor. A solid financial plan and a strategic business plan would have benefited this organization greatly.

Pros

Once there, you realize there are no pros.

Cons

The CEO is strategically shallow, out of her depth, and lacks the skill sets and experience to lead a digital publisher in today’s modern marketing world. The head of Human Resources and People Ops is a complete nightmare, ineffective, and reactive, creating organizational risk and eroding trust. Employee conversations with HR are not confidential creating an unsafe workplace. Nothing is real, everything is substance-free, and a complete sham.
