Pros

Great products and you get $80 of them for free which really is amazing. Some good leadership.

Cons

I have worked at Melaleuca for a long time now. I won't say exactly how long but long enough to have seen the mighty fall. I decided to stay with the company as a career years ago when I fell in love with the fact that the company backed up their motto. "Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals." I can sadly say I no longer feel that is true. The company is more interested in their bottom line than actually enhancing the lives of their employees. Working conditions have decreased significantly due to a lack of staff. We keep being told that things will get better but they don't. Associates are told they will get training time from supervisors but due to staffing restrictions that rarely happens. Supervisors whose prime responsibility is training and motivating their teams spend a significant time on the phones themselves because there aren't enough people to handle the call volume. Ever since the new CFO came on the scene to many things have gone through that reduce peoples ability to do their jobs or even know how to do their jobs that I can't recommend working for this company anymore.

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.
