Pros

A few good teammates trying to make the best of a bad culture

Cons

Toxic environment, overwork, role bloat, stifled opinions, leadership self-protection, no real career path. I joined hoping to build a career and was genuinely excited about the industry. It became clear very quickly this was just a job with no real growth path. The culture is extremely toxic. I was directly encouraged to “stay small,” and that message runs deep: keep quiet, don’t question decisions, don’t expect growth. Opinions are welcome only when they mirror leadership. Leadership is the core issue. There’s no real direction, priorities change on a whim, and decisions are regularly reversed without explanation. It’s a mean-girl culture where rewards go to the inner circle, not to performance. Strategy is largely fluff. You end up doing multiple jobs with no clarity, recognition, or path forward. For a company that talks nonstop about “professionalism” and “protecting creators,” the internal behavior is the opposite. Multiple women raised concerns about leadership behavior and nothing meaningful changed. They loudly tout that creators should be valued and paid fairly while squeezing employees and refusing to invest in basic resourcing. The company obsesses over how much creators make, but the one group that clearly isn’t valued is the employees. Burnout is normalized, and you’ll struggle to get the tools you need to do your job. If you want to learn, grow, and be supported, look elsewhere. If you just need a paycheck and can tolerate a lot of dysfunction, you might manage.

Pros

- Used to be a really cool place with innovative, forward-thinking people everywhere. (A lot of the pros are "used" to be"] - There's room to get to know the people you're working with - Good brand recognition - Sometimes people have good ideas you can run with

Cons

Everything about the company now vs. 2-3 years ago is different and in a bad way. Everything is so very disjointed. Decisions are reactive and completely not thought through - they're also being made by tech bros who are simply not the target audience of this brand. They are out of touch and it's ripped the passion and potential right out of the business. Everyone feels like glorified taskhorses. No legit appreciation is given to anyone. All the things that used to make LTK great are no longer and, sadly, that probably means that ShopMy will absolutely run them into the ground. So much potential here which has been disappointing to watch disappear. Senior leadership ahs absolutely no idea what they are doing and they keep throwing things at the wall.
