Pros

Beauty company- got to test products

Cons

Makes sure employees know they are replaceable. Full-time positions are not paid fair market prices, usually 20-40% (or more) below the market average. Employees are then scolded for doing research about what fair wages are. Solicits good reviews from customers by paying them. Do not pay influencers a fair market price for their content (if they are paid at all). Little to no communication with superiors, unless you are being reprimanded. They pride themselves on being a healthy, fun workplace but this couldn't be farther from the truth. Their priorities are making themselves (CEO/COO) look good and taking absolutely no accountability for the problems that come because of their actions.

Pros

Alleyoop has been one of the most positive work experiences I’ve had, largely because of the people leading the company. The founder, COO, and VP of Operations have built an incredibly supportive, encouraging, and motivating environment that makes employees feel valued and trusted. There is a strong sense that leadership truly cares, not just about growing the business, but also about helping the team grow with it. The culture is one of Alleyoop’s biggest strengths. Everyone works hard, but it never feels cutthroat or overly corporate. The team is collaborative, uplifting, and always willing to help each other, which makes day to day work enjoyable even during busy periods. Leadership does a great job of making people feel heard, giving them ownership, and creating excitement around where the company is headed. It is a fast growing business with a lot of opportunity, and being part of that growth has been incredibly rewarding.

Cons

As with any growing startup, priorities can move quickly and there are times when employees need to be flexible and wear multiple hats. For me, this was part of the learning experience.
