Pros
I would only recommend working here ONLY if I HAD to live in the Idaho Falls area, and I mean if your spouse was going to leave you if you didn't live in Idaho Falls/surrounding area. I would recommend this place ONLY if you enjoy going to a employee recognition meeting but 85% is spent on how great the management is and how lucky you are to work there. The remaining 30 minutes (after 3-4 hours) will then be spent hastily thanking people who have been there for a while. I would also recommend working here ONLY if you like manipulating numbers to fit a story that management wants, not what is actually happening. On two different occasions I was told how the data was to support the story that management wanted instead of what it actually said. To the point where I was told to delete the data. Health insurance is actually ok but I don't believe it will stay that way.
Cons
Most positive reviews here are by Marketing Executives who are not actual employees but are like independent distributors or by the management team so they can inflate the rank. I recommend reading the lower reviews to get a more realistic view of the culture at Melaleuca. Pay raises are below average for most employees. 401K is well below average for a company that size, for the region, and for the profitability. Culture is one of micromanagement and covering your butt. Managers (everyone there is a manager because there are no leaders) micromanage their employees or else they know they will face the wrath of the person above them. The person above them in turn will also feel the wrath of their manager, all the way up to Frank, who pushes down this type of culture on everyone. With this fear everyone is worried about covering their butt so that they can point the finger which usually entails managers passing the blame down to individual employees instead of running interference. However if praise comes down the line, it somehow seems to stop before it reaches the employees. I consider Melaleuca more political than Congress. If you were to open a dictionary created by Melaleuca, Meritocracy would still be undefined because it is not recognized by their management team. Be prepared to have the Sunday blues (read everyday blues) on a regular basis. The work isn't too difficult, but the management makes it unbearable. Most people are able to finish their job in a 25-30 hour work week but need to be looking busy for the extra 20 hours that Melaleuca wants you in your seat. To quote, "If you're not in your seat and visible, then Frank doesn't think you're working."
