Pros

Energetic atmosphere, motivational speeches, scam

Cons

I don't usually write reviews online, but after my awful experience with this company I feel I need to inform others so they don't become victims of this as well. This job is a lie. The interview process was extremely short and sketchy, the employees make you feel very special that you have made it to the interview however, it is not that great. They advertise the job to you and break down the business using labels like "brand ambassador" or "account manager" to make it sound like you are going to be successful in a short period of time. They also make you think you will be making $500 dollars a week and then up to $1,500 by the the third week, but this is not necessarily true. The company is 100% commission based, so you can only make that money if you make sales. I went around New York tri-state area to different zip codes, selling department of labor law posters. I was told that every business needed these posters to be compliant with the law, and we were "providing" these posters but we were actually just selling them. I felt like I was taking advantage of business owners because Loop charges them for the posters, when they can get them for cheaper and sometimes for free from their payroll. The hours are also insane. 8am-7:30pm Mon-Sat. THIS IS A SALES POSITION WHERE YOU WALK AROUND ALL DAY IN RANDOM PARTS OF NEW YORK, please know this before you go. Also my feet are killing me still.

Cons

Working at a startup like Loop comes with its unique challenges that can also serve as growth opportunities. The fast-paced environment often requires wearing multiple hats, which can sometimes blur roles and responsibilities. As a growing company, processes and structures are still evolving, which may lead to occasional ambiguity. However, these challenges provide valuable experiences, a sense of ownership, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in shaping the company's future.

Pros

Young crowd with lots of enthusiasm. This seems like a group of people that get along well, work hard, and have fun in the process.

Cons

Lack of clarity regarding what the company actually does. All the positions, whether hr or marketing or business development, seem to be the same. Get trained, recruit new hires, get people on the street to like your client with cheap direct marketing, and repeat. The essence of any position is to start entry level and to work your way up by building your own team. The goal is to eventually manage your own office or branch. At the end of the day, this is a multi level marketing company. Familiar with vector marketing? What about allure? Same concept. It's a very controversial model and companies rarely sustain themselves this way. From what I've heard and researched, there is no base salary and no health benefits. If you're looking to really build a career in marketing or advertising or whatever else Loop says they do, look elsewhere. I wish it was not true, but this company is a scam and all the people working there are either in on it or naive.

Hi there and thanks for the review. We're sorry that you seem to have a negative opinion of our company, but from reading through your review it seems apparent that a lot of your issues are based on hearsay rather than your own experience. It's difficult for us to respond to something like that, because you're not raising a specific issue with our company. For example, "From what I've heard and researched..." It's tough to respond to things you've heard or taken from other people. Then other parts of your review aren't even about us. They are about other companies. Again it's very difficult for us to make any comment on other companies and how they operate. We can really only comment on our own company. What we can say for sure is that we think if you'd given us more of a chance, and carried on with your interview, we think we would have changed your opinion, and we certainly could have responded to any concerns. We're always open to criticism. It's one of the best ways to improve. If you do have any issues with our company specifically please do get in touch and we'll try and help.
