Pros

There are no pros to this place.

Cons

The owner makes promises she cannot keep. She is M.I.A. All of the time and expects all of her employees to run her company. Then when she does decide to make an appearance she plays Monday morning quarterback. She does not pay well, benefits are mediocre at best, and things that are issues never improve. If you want to intern here to see what not to do- go for it. But I would never suggest working for this company. Nothing you do will ever be acknowledged or good enough. Also, she is not a fan of paying reps or vendors. She will try and find a way to wiggle or talk her way out of paying them or even her employees. And then you get an "This industry is just crazy" as an excuse with an awkward stare that lasts entirely too long.

Pros

I spent a little less than a year at Leota and will be leaving with nothing but respect and admiration for this company and the team behind it. Working in a small company, you really get firsthand experience of all the hard work that goes into a brand’s success. I was able to grow so much within a short amount of time and felt rewarded in my role and the work I got to do daily. Another aspect that I enjoyed was that I got to form close relationships with my team, being in an intimate environment. I was able to learn about brand operations outside of my role from our designer, head of sales, CEO, etc. Overall, my time spent with Leota was extremely rewarding and I left with so much knowledge that'll help me in future endeavors. Thank you to the wonderful team at Leota for such a memorable experience!

Cons

Since things can move so quickly we experienced the normal ups and downs that any business does & always worked together as a team to find a solution in the end. I wouldn't say there were any real cons within my time spent at Leota.

Pros

Fellow coworkers were amazing, and made the experience better.

Cons

Owner of the company never paid their factories on time so most of the job was convincing factories to basically keep working for free. Money was mainly focused on PR. Owner of the company cycled through several production managers due to unrealistic time line which she promised to buyers. Due to poor management we lost our biggest customer at the time before blaming the rest of the staff. Most of the people working at her company were new people and they were gaslit into working long hours for little pay. Some were let go for asking for a raise and were asked to lie about them being let go saying it was for other reasons.
