Leap Reviews

Unlimited PTO is a scam. HUGE disconnect between the actual backbone of the company (RETAIL) and their HQ offices (corporate). Calls themselves a “tech company” which still doesn’t make sense to me, and my only explanation for it is that they use that term for investors in order to be valued at ~4x their actual valuation. Management tends to talk out of both sides of their mouth. They want you to “own your own business” yet constantly micromanage you with the smallest of details, and want to standardize the company even though each brand is unique and at a different point in their own business. Working at multiple different brands can be incredibly taxing for employees, and the hours allotted per store don’t allow you to hire real talent, so you’re typically trying to motivate young adults while seeing them maybe once a week.

There are too many issues to site that I've personally witnessed and experienced first hand as a corporate employee. I think it's incredible telling that all the people of color in operations and HR were let go and the people who remained have less experience and qualifications. Go back, look at LinkedIn, this feedback has been validated. Next, Under performance recognized in individuals who were "favorites" of the CEO were not treated or expected to perform with the same expectations as peers. Can anyone tell me what engineering has built in 2020,2021, 2022? To say the men in the leadership team were unsupportive is an understatement, since all of LT lacked diversity and any female presence to represent over 50% of the workforce. The Co-CEOs created a culture of fear and became often times unhinged when an employee would question a decision or their leadership. What's very troubling is the verbal abuse and unfair work conditions created by one Co-CEO in particular was never addressed. I've heard from many individuals who have left Leap in the last year who are now seeking therapy and counseling from professionals for the trauma, abuse, and overall experience they endured during their employment under the current and former leadership. There needs to be stronger employment laws to protect individuals from hard that can occur at the hands of indivdiuals who are in roles of power who use it in appropriately. As a women and mother, I would often be asked to get on last minute evening calls with leadership during the times when I was scheduled to feed/nurse my baby. Skipping that connection time with my child and putting my body through undue hardship just to appease the senior leaders of Leap. Ugh, so many lessons learned from this job and experience. I would never recommend Leap to anyone who has a family, this company does not care for it's people, and working for Leap will impact your home life for sure.
