Pros
A lot of hands on experience that will good on your resume when you inevitably apply to other jobs.
Cons
Working at Look Media wrecked havoc on my personal life and mental well-being. Most of the scheduled activations happen during the weekend, which means you are expected work almost every single weekend. BAs have access to your personal cell (the uptick in your phone bill is not compensated by LM) and I fielded texts and calls at 11pm on weeknights and 6am on Saturdays. There are no benefits other than what you are legally obliged to (company is too small to offer health insurance or WageWorks) and yet management expects you to consistently sacrifice your personal time in exchange for nothing in return. Despite being paid a non-exempt salary, I was not paid overtime and was instead given PTO, which would be illegal in NYS if this company was larger. Brand ambassadors got paid a higher hourly wage than what I made and yet the CEO plays dumb about mine and my co-workers' wages being “what you’re worth.” Denying employees a salary that is commensurate with the amount of responsibility and labor they put in based on how far they are in their career/how many years out of college they are is shortsighted and a bad business practice. The CEO speaks often of wanting to hire intelligent employees but anyone with an iota of intelligence quickly sees through the borderline unfair labor practices used at Look Media. Additionally many tasks are insanely boring (ie spending 3 consecutive business days calling grocery stores on your personal cell phone) and a complete waste of time. At the end of the day, this job would be so much more bearable if there was any form of support in the office. Stressful jobs can be mitigated by great company culture, but everyone who works here is miserable. And good work will go unnoticed - the CEO is completely out of touch with the day to day operations of the company. His responses to the reviews on here just exemplify how he spends his time during the day. Working here is a thankless and unfulfilling job and a little bit of respect and acknowledgement from your boss would go a long way. The Look Media office is small, dusty, and cramped. No one who works at Look Media enjoys being there. Some of this could be easily remedied (see benefits and wages). And lastly, turnover rate here is high in part because, well, who is passionate about grocery store demos?
