Pros

Decent benefits beyond salary. I’ve been here for years and liked most people that I have worked with across multiple departments.

Cons

Upper management consists of several micro managers that ruin it for all the good ones. This influences the managers over the actual workers to be micro managers as well. My previous manager was amazing, but he got kicked out because he was too hands off for upper managements liking. Now that we had a micro manager in charge, our KPI’s have plummeted, but she finds a way to spin it to keep upper management happy. I get paid based on a 40-hour per week salary, but average 45-50 hours of actual work to keep up with the requests of my direct manager and our international employees.

Pros

- side benefits are okay - it is a median sort of job - I personally have some freedom do to personal professional development on the clock when there is no immediate need for my work (happens very little) - People half listen once they know you have been at Melaleuca after about 5 years

Cons

- No management that knows what they are doing - Not very customer-focused - Don't seek to fulfill their strategic imperatives or strategies or mission - Very hard for people to listen to you because you're new - They don't have a lot of integrity - Very slow to solve problems - Don't worry about making improvements in processes or tools we use - Slow AI usage and no proficiency in AI usage, strategies or implementation - Managers micromanage because Melaleuca is "unique" - Most of the positive things they tout all the time serves only the company's image, not the employees - Don't worry about giving raises in a timely manner - Not goal-oriented employer And I could probably keep going, but will stop here.
