      Pros

      Melaleuca is an exceptional employment opportunity, especially in Idaho. I was amazed to find a billion dollar global company based out of Idaho Falls. The company is well run and offers many perks and benefits for its employees. The company excels at providing customer service and really emphasizes its mission statement to enhance the lives of its customers and Marketing Executives, and the employees and community as well. There is not any other company in Idaho that provides the kind of benefits that Melaleuca does, such as health care, 401k matching, employee fitness support, and other benefits--the company competes at a national level on these standards. Melaleuca values hard work, intelligence and drive, and will reward those who bring these characteristics to their work. There is a great camaraderie among the employees and the company lacks a lot of the political infighting that can be common in other corporate environments. The founding CEO, who is still leading the company 30 years later, instills a strong corporate work ethic and really believes the time tested values of hard work, staying out of debt and setting and achieving goals. It is a breath of fresh air in a corporate environment that at many other companies can become cynical and detached. Melaleuca's CEO is hands-on and involved in many aspects of the company and teaches correct business principles so that the company stays on track and moves forward. The company has had consistent growth for more than 30 years now. That is not an accident. The company is well led and without any debt, employees can rest assured that they will not face layoffs due to short-term economic downturns. Melaleuca rewards loyalty and annually pays out millions of dollars in bonuses to employees who have worked to build the company's success over the years. Bottom line is this is a great place to work and if you are smart enough to land a job here, you should feel comfortable in making this place your home.

      Cons

      You have to be sharp and enjoy challenging work to excel at the company.

      Pros

      Melaleuca offers the unique opportunity to engage in challenging work for a multi-national organization while living in a smaller, rural community. The company is quite complex and vertically integrated which provides ample opportunity to develop your career. Departments include manufacturing, supply chain, forecasting, marketing, sales, business development, logistics, call center, customer care, events, communications, R&D, QA, etc. as well as the traditional roles of purchasing, finance, HR, legal, IT, etc. The company does a good job of developing talent and providing employees with cross-functional opportunities. I have worked for several organizations and Melaleuca employees are top tier. I was constantly amazed by not only the output but the professionalism and the quality of the work. Due to the unique opportunity Melaleuca provides, retention (excluding the call center) is exceptional. While I do not know the avg. tenure of corporate employees, I would say the avg. of the departments I worked in was 7+ years (in contrast, my previous employers were probably closer to 3 years). The longer tenure can create challenges with upward mobility at times but employees who manage their career and are willing to take on additional responsibility outside their 'traditional' career path are promoted and rewarded accordingly. Coming from organizations that were not as open to providing employees with opportunities outside their traditional career path this was refreshing. While there were several other pros, I will mention just one final item. Having come from publicly traded entities it was a nice change of pace to work for a privately held organization. Instead of making rash, short-term decisions or 'compromising' to meet street estimates, management at Melaleuca made decisions for the long-term. They did not compromise. While some were critical I personally witnessed several of those decisions and considered it a blessing to work for a CEO and management team who (albeit are imperfect) moved forward with the best of intentions and strived to do right by their employees and other business partners.

      Cons

      While definitely the exception, I would say there is a small contingency of apathetic employees. Since it is impossible to find a professional opportunity equal to that of Melaleuca in the community, some mediocre employees remain and become apathetic. They become 'victims' of 'low wages' and other 'injustices' and do not realize it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. At times the complaints of this small minority can be frustrating. They point to colleagues who left and significantly increased their wages but fail to acknowledge that they had to move to Salt Lake City (completely different demographic and cost of living) to do so. I found that wages were competitive for the area.

      Pros

      It was a fun place to work. The job was easy. You got a lot of the new product with your coupon.

      Cons

      The management was to keep things quiet, They was mean to certain employees. And others could get away with every thing. It's like a meet market. There is a lot of cheating there. A lot of people cheat on their mate.
