Pros

I liked the benefits here. Decent Health Care benefits and 401k plans. There were a few fun perks such as free products, a built-in gym, and cafeteria. Some holidays off.

Cons

Many of the reviews I see here are by "marketing executives." It's SO important to realize these are NOT actually EMPLOYEES of the company. They are simply selling Melaleuca products. BIG difference! There is no room for personal growth. Unless you are related to someone in upper management. Or if you are willing to kiss upper management's behind the most. Compensation is awful. For the area I suppose it's about as high as you will get, but they are truly holding back on employee earning rates. You are subject to the big man's very conservative opinions in every aspect of work. He does not take advice from anyone, why should he have to when he is a millionaire. He also is very lawsuit happy. If you look up his name, plus the word lawsuit, you will find several dozens. It's not for the money, so you can assume it's for the power trip. They also have a horrid structure for raises, promotions, and terminations. I feel there would be a lot more lawsuits against the upper management if they weren't so threatening. These are just my own observations. Take it for what it's worth!

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.
