Pros

Absolutely nothing. Do not take the "positive" reviews seriously. They are all fake. I highly recommend management to stop with these reviews or else proof of their email will be provided to Glassdoor to have all the positive reviews removed—yes, that's possible. I've already been in contact with Glassdoor's community team. Management recently sent an email to ALL employees enticing them to leave at least THREE positive reviews on various platforms in order to receive a $25 Amazon gift card. If that wasn't enough, management was kind enough to create a schedule for when & where the employees should post. Once their reviews are posted, each employee is required to check them off on the spreadsheet.

Cons

Everything. For a company to force its employees to leave positive reviews should tell you absolutely everything you need to know about the workplace. Also, only $25? At least make it worthwhile. Management offered $25 because they created a schedule for employees to leave their reviews. If the task wasn't completed, chances are they would have received some type of punishment.

Thank you for leaving a review. We’re appreciative of all feedback as it helps to grow our company and employee experience. While Lobeline is humble at the chance of receiving any reviews, this review leaves a lot to wonder. To clarify, the email from management was a request for all employees to leave honest reviews, albeit negative or positive. Leaving company reviews is not, nor has it ever been, mandatory to do so and there would never be any negative action taken because of one. Moreover, reviews left are usually anonymous and we have no way of verifying the review, so employees are encouraged to leave honest feedback. Would you be open to amending your review so it includes your experience working for our company? With team happy hours, holiday retreats, personable managers, and annual raises, we’d really like to know what the issues are that would prove someone to be so unhappy while working for us. Please give us a chance to make whatever this may be, right. We truly value each and every member of our team and want to ensure we move towards an even brighter light. Contact us any time at hr@lobeline.com.

Pros

This was my second internship in LA and it undeniably helped propel me to get one of the most coveted PR internships in the country after I was here. The owner was very vocally supportive of my writing, which helped me gain confidence in a way that's hard to put into words. My headline here is true, I got my next internship because Lobeline was allowing me to draft pitches, gain media connections and do social management that a FT post-grad specialist would typically work on. That undeniably helped my career and I will forever be grateful for my time here because of it. Working here was the kickoff to what has allowed me access to A list companies post-grad. If you're willing to put in the work here (it's a lot of cold pitching) -- it can pay off, but I would also say I was working a lot harder than other interns.

Cons

At the time I was an intern here, it was borderline full-time (25-30hrs/wk) and unpaid -- but it seems that has changed. It's a small business (less than 50 ee), and office politics really swayed the owner's opinion of interns futures at the company (after reading the negative reviews here, I would say it's safe to assume that culture is still somewhat alive). If you're too threatening to someone higher ranking, they'll boot you out of the office -- survivor style. You have some big personalities but if you stay pretty vanilla, I ran into no big issues -- but I also seldom spoke up when I disagreed with management because I was scolded for doing so once.
