Pros

Insurance, gift cards, company picnics.

Cons

Upper management has to approve everything, it's insane. Micro-managers, Upper manager thrives on chaos. They don't follow their own mission statement.

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

Some camaraderie and fellowship exists among rank and file . . .

Cons

. . . but that camaraderie and fellowship are undermined by "differentiation." • Gospel of author and former GE CEO Jack Welch followed insofar as it empowers directors to carry out their personal agendas with no repercussions • "Cultivate the strong and cull the weak" (Welch's words) can only take place when an organization can effectively identify the strong and the weak; Melaleuca does a terrible job of doing that and rankings are a popularity contest • No women in executive leadership • No minorities in executive leadership • Right-wing political propaganda at mandatory company meetings • Non-LDS at disadvantage for advancement
