Pros

The pros of working at Loot Crate are few and far between. At one time people would say "Wow! You work for Loot Crate! How'd you get that job? I bet you'll never leave!" with excitement in their voice, but nobody says that anymore. Soon after all of the talent at Loot Crate "levelled up" to other companies. They leveraged their jobs into new companies (mostly entertainment companies) because employers would say "Oh, Loot Crate! Very nice. They're growing quick so hopefully you can help our company grow quick". Now, unfortunately other employers cringe and say "Oh. Loot Crate. I've heard some not so nice things about them!". I've even heard a few people say they didn't get a job because of their association with Loot Crate (and the bad practises involved here). But they do a good job of masking the problems with free food and nerf gun fights (which btw basically never happen unless they're filming it for social media). If you're a fan of having the wool pulled over your eyes and living in ignorance than Loot Crate is your bliss.

Cons

Where to start? How about the top! Loot Crate was founded by two individuals, the CEO and the CXO. The CEO is unequipped to run a company and has decided to not bring in any true help. Instead (and as many other reviews here have stated) he's brought in his fraternity friends and the ex-Mattel Mafia. The CXO is a totally different story. Never have I met a person who was so petty, so immature, and such a bully. He spends a good 90% of his day scrolling through social media, battling customers one by one. If he isn't doing that, he's posting fake positive reviews about Loot Crate. The small remainder of his time is spent trying desperately to undermine that destroy the competition. If you're a female employee get set to be marginalized. Loot Crate has recently been profiling and showcasing their female employees on social media in an effort to curve the image of "females not wanted" that they've got, but this is just another distraction to the truth. All of the senior team are men, all of them came after many of the females who deserved those promotions, and most of the female team has left to other companies. As many have already pointed out, the yearly layoffs are currently underway. It's a terrible feeling to watch someone who has left another good job for the "LC opportunity" get laid off less than a year in. Loot Crate actively brings people on board knowing that their job is in jeopardy before the employee even enters the building, but they also don't care. Most of these people have families to support. It's just awful. Loot Crate is losing subscribers at an alarming rate, they're making major mistakes on many of their boxes and on top of everything they're constantly lying to their audience. I could continue but I fear my efforts are falling on deaf earns anyways as a few fake positive reviews will be posted above mine in short order, pushing my review out of sight. That's the Loot Crate way!
