Pros

You get an $80 product check for any personal wellness products from Melaleuca. Company is probably more family oriented than most. Company has always had an increase in revenue since their opening in 1985. I really enjoy their products and am proud of what Melaleuca stands for. Management really wants everyone to get out of debt and stay there. The company itself is in no debt. Frank has promised over and over that he will lay nobody off which, even though it might happen anyway, at least he is promising. What other company is doing that? Frank has kept Melaleuca growing for over 20 years.

Cons

It is VERY difficult to get raises. In order to get a good raise you have to quite and work somewhere else, then come back. Management and marketing has made some shortsighted decisions which has cost the company a lot of money. There is not really good communication between supervisors and their subordinates. I have even seen Marketing supervisors not know what is going on when something was going to directly affect them. I found out before they did and they should have known at least at the same time. The raise thing is really serious. They seem to not really care and are stingy but when it comes to decorating they sure do well. I'm a little confused because they always talk about how much the employees mean to them but then they babysit us and treat us like babies.

Pros

Good 'starter' company. You can have a lot of responsibilities and then take those to another employer who will pay you more. The company is still a rather young company in terms of average age of 'professional level' employees and the company as a whole.

Cons

Time commitment, recognition of who really does the work, politics. The executive staff has had a 100% turnover within the past 2-3 years. Every new product is approved by the CEO. For a company approaching $1billion in annual sales, they should allow the people hired to make decisions actually make them.
