Pros

If they actually donate to charity… probably a lie.

Cons

God forbid you have a last minute conflict, an emergency, a simple time off request, they’ll cut you with no remorse. They’ll lie and say it’s the best work life balance they’ve ever experienced, how their culture is bar none. Before I even started work they let me go. Yet they’re desperate for help. Make it make sense. Run by a bunch of psychos that need to be checked in ASAP! If you want your freedoms stripped, this is the place. FTO is a joke and do not fall into that trap!

Pros

iHerb pays 100% of medical benefits for you and your immediate family. They are generous with vacation accruals. Salaries are generous.

Cons

The company continues to operate with a small-business, "mom-and-pop" mentality despite its growth. Leadership is highly centralized, with most decisions driven by the CEO. Employees often perceive that those who are not viewed favorably by leadership are eventually managed out of the organization. There is a culture of fear around speaking up, as many employees worry about potential negative consequences to their employment. Favoritism among leaders is frequently observed, and advancement opportunities can be limited for individuals who are not part of the preferred inner circle.
