Rediculously CHEAP and Unethical!

Pros

There are only a few positive things I can say about working at LELO. They will buy and pay for your cell phone and get you a new laptop every few years (both of which you will turn in when you have had enough of the bull). People get to work from home and that is nice.

Cons

Oh where do I begin? Extremely low pay for the hours and travel you are required to work (10-14 hours a day with 10 days off per year). Management is clearly bi-polar, one day they have no idea whats going on and the next day you are micro managed to the point you want to cry and or quit. You clearly have no true professional leader in your corner. There is very little if no management support system, you are told if you don't like it then go work somewhere else. Management has selective memory and you barely see your annual raise in your paycheck as you are asked to write negative reviews online on competing products. HR and Payroll is managed by the same incompetent and controlling person, I wish for the day I never have to deal with this person again. If you want to be used, disrespected, ignored, made to feel stupid, overworked and grossly underpaid, please come and work for this global luxury brand. OH and get a part time weekend job, you'll need it to cover your bills. I'm outta here!

Far less professional than you would think

Pros

Great product line and some great employees on the team. International.

Cons

Unbelievably low salaries, no commissions or bonuses. Nepotism in the upper management has created a culture of incompetence and back stabbing that gets exhausting for someone who actually wants to do a good job.

Pros

Small company so you get a lot of responsibility, fast! For someone who is trying to get quick experience and skip to a senior positions, this company provides that. You are handed a plethora of things to do, meetings with big clients, etc., great way to get quick experience, or beef up your resume. Also, decent pay for the amount of work. They must have increased their hire budget, because my salary isn't too bad.

Cons

Where do I start. 1) You will not be able to successfully do your job because of the incompetence of the people in this company. LELO has built their company on old traditions and ways of business, and it's killing their talent and new hires. 2) If a colleague above you is wrong and screws up your job, meeting, project, etc, you will be blamed 100% of the time. Forget 360 feedback and reviews. This company defends their incompetent staff tooth and nail. Good luck trying to give any feedback, it will fall on deaf ears. 3) Half of your team isn't even around. You will be expected to work all hours of the day to accommodate with colleagues that work in 4 different time zones. Expect to respond to emails on weekends too. 4) No real culture in the company, everyone is working at their own pace, also, there are cliques. 5) I seriously do not recommend this company to anyone, until they really do some deep cleaning of the people in this company. They do not know how to retain talent, set goals, take and give feedback. 0/10 would not repeat this experience. 6) Telecommuting is non-existent, unless again, you're an "old timer" of the company and have seniority. 7) Did I mention you will fail no matter what? you will not be set up for success in this company, it's a constant disappointment, and be prepared to be thrown under the bus a few times by the people who wanted to "see you succeed" 8) You can tell I'm jaded by the experience, and feel I have wasted my time in this company. Please take my experience as a lesson. 9) Most of the senior level staff have extreme egos...even some junior levels as well. It's really sad because there are a few good apples in this company that are holding the entire company together. If it wasn't for those few people (and I mean 1-2 people), I would have been gone already.
