Pros

Flexible scheduling options for full time college students. Also within walking distance to campus. Only incoming calls.

Cons

Sometimes customers think they know everything and you have to deal with them.

Pros

Great exposure to the company functions and back ground. I learned more in my position here than I would elsewhere because they require so much from you with little pay and title recognition. They people I worked with and served were very knowledgeable and fun to work with. The projects assigned to me were fun and fast paced, and whenever help was needed it was given. Great experience to help further your career elsewhere.

Cons

This company will take advantage of anyone that works there. They'll work you into the ground and pay you the least amount they can get away with. Promotion with in this company is hard, it requires more than seven years in your current position or some major butt kissing of upper management. The people that stay within the company for years are the ones who have settled with the way they're treated and have adapted to the slow growth and compensation plan. Management will string you along, making promises to you about advancement, tasks, etc. without planning on actually delivering. You can't trust anyone to have your back/look out for your career, they're all way too concerned about themselves. Not a great place to commit long term to, but it is a great short term opportunity to help launch your career further elsewhere.

Pros

Free product every month. Health insurance is outstanding. Products good. However, they just take products off of the shelf and have their scientists deconstruct them and then add a different component and then Melaleuca calls it their own and "launches" the "new" product. Because they are a private company, they can do this. The FDA doesn't govern their products.

Cons

Upper management is a "good old boy" system. Having new ideas, innovative technology ideas, or thinking differently than management = firing or being "managed out" (as their human resource department refers to it.) Cycle over new employees every 2-3 years to get rid of middle management and earned raises. Have fired or are firing many right before their performance bonuses were to be paid out. Poor management style which creates an atmosphere of distrust, fear, and disgust.
