Pros

The talent management department is being held together by individuals doing their best in a broken system. A lot of great people there. That's part of why I signed on and because I believed what they sold me on. But unless you’re okay with being underpaid, unsupported, and complicit in misleading creators, stay far away The brand side may be ok, not sure, but any positive review re: management side is 100% fake

Cons

The company offers zero resources to support talent managers. I mean ZERO. They exclusively offer exclusive management, but expect you to manage 40–60 creators (not exaggerating) with no tools, no CRM, no systems, and no onboarding whatsoever, again not exaggerrating, literally not even one onboarding call. It seems too crazy to be real and it felt that way. This is not a real agency. It’s clear the strategy is to bring in as many creators as possible just to get their inbound deals, not to actually develop or support talent. The interview process is incredibly deceptive and so is the pay. The culture is all about appearances. Leadership, particularly the CEO, is focused on optics and investor relationships, not internal operations. The CEO brags about big-name investors while paying his team minimum wage in Los Angeles. It’s smoke and mirrors. Investors should be ashamed to be associated with this company.

Pros

I have learned more in 7 months as an EA at a startup than I could anywhere else. Working alongside the CEO has helped deepen my knowledge and understanding of business as a whole, as well as challenged me both personally and professionally. Excited to see how I can grow and progress in my role here.

Cons

Although it can be overwhelming wearing multiple hats, it has benefited my ability to multi-task and take on more and more responsibilities.

Pros

Joining Pearpop was hands down one of the best career moves I’ve made. From day one, the support I received from my team and leadership made a huge difference. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to help me get up to speed. The onboarding process was smooth, and I always felt like I had someone to turn to if I had questions or needed guidance. The people at Pearpop are truly what make it special. The office is full of smart, kind, and genuinely passionate individuals. There’s this positive energy that makes you actually want to come in every day—which, let’s be honest, is rare. I found myself excited to go to work, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel supported, challenged, and surrounded by great people, I can’t recommend Pearpop enough.

Cons

the workload given can be challenging at times, but what start up/small company will you not be challenged with work at?
