Moving in the right direction

Pros

Good Salary, Excellent Benefits. I feel company bends over backwards to value its employees. The thing someone on here said about free food isn't true in Fort Lauderdale. Whether this is a pro or con or not depends, but this is a strait-laced conservative company culture. At the same time, they are easy going and tolerant. It's a little hard to describe how both of these are true until you experience it.

Cons

The company is moving in the right direction, but would benefit from jettisoning its owner's wacky views and direct mail strategies. The more they continue to target the average consumer rather than the person who thinks they're going to live to 150 by taking a lot of supplements, the better.

horrible working environment, some good people

Pros

Some great, dedicated staff although overall the turnover is much higher than other places I have worked. Typical workday is 8:30-5:30, with some flexibility depending on position. Casual workplace

Cons

The HQ building is dirty and dusty, so beware if you have allergies. Inside is very hot or very cold, sometimes on the same day. Located in a nasty neighborhood, so no errands are possible at lunch and you have to take an hour. On-site cafe regularly makes people sick, only fast food nearby. One refrigerator for everyone to use that is never cleaned out. The medical insurance is good for individuals but bad for families - lower cost insurance for kids on the exchanges. No paid maternity leave. No sick time - three "floating" days that must be used annually. Limited paid time off. Management can be clueless - after hurricane Irma staff were to report on-site at 11 am, one hour after the county-wide curfew was lifted at 10 am (no power, no school or day care, no working traffic lights and trees everywhere), People had to use vacation time to deal with the hurricane aftermath or return from evacuation - expect some hurricane common sense from a Florida company. The 401K match is low. Bonuses and raises are also low, so negotiate for a good base rate.

Excellent Work Environment

Pros

A place that truly values the employees! Top level management takes the time to make all employees feel appreciated! I challenge anyone to find employment that offers 100% employee health insurance as well as dental and vision. Everyday I feel appreciated, respected and comfortable in the knowledge that because I care about doing the best job I can with integrity, and pride that I appreciate that my efforts are recognize and I know that I am valued! The pay is excellent, the bonus structure is generous and fair and available to all employees that demonstrate the pride in delivering excellence as any employer would expect! Example: 2 years ago the top level management added 2 additional free paid days off added to the 1 paid day off they implemented the previous year, with no strings attached. That is 60% of a work week as additional paid time off for EVERY employee. I have never experienced such a generous display of thanks to all employees.

Cons

Honesty, I have nothing to complain about! I am 1 of several hundred employees and wanted to share my experience. I look forward to many years of employment as this is a stable, enjoyable workplace. I look forward to going to work everyday!
