Pros

The biggest perk the company has to offer is schedule flexibility for higher grade employees.

Cons

Melaleuca lacks leadership from upper management and employs what can only be described as aggressive micromanaging as a management style with lower level managers. Very direspectful of employees, paying educated employees a near minimum wage salary and constantly targeting people to make an example out of. Career development is severely lacking, as there is no training program or opportunities to further education, and it's nearly impossible to get promoted if working in certain categories. Overall, highly frustrating experience for substandard wage.

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.
