Pros

Good Benefits. Got hot girlfriend out of it.

Cons

Soul crushing culture of blame and fear. I gave my heart and soul to this job but was consistently chewed out by management for things outside of my control. I began having panic attacks and trouble sleeping. My whole life has improved since leaving. I was quickly promoted and praised at my new job... I'm not incompetent after all! I make way more money and leadership can actually be nice and encouraging!

Pros

Paycheck that clears, free drinks and fruit, decent office and friendly colleagues

Cons

As others have mentioned, this place is fear based and "do what you're told without questions asked" type of culture. Management does not value employees and will grind you up until it's time for your replacement. This definitely isn't a long term gig and recommend seasoned professionals to look elsewhere for a quality job. A lot of colleagues I know are not happy with things and are actively searching to get out. If you're cool with executing whatever they want without having an opinion, working OT frequently without pay and an overall drab environment, by all means this is your place. Otherwise, keep looking and find a better gig for yourself.

It disappointing to hear that you are not pleased with your working environment. As iHerb continues to evolve, changes will continue as we position the business for growth. However, we have great empathy and patience as an organization, in regards to our current team member’s contributions to the overall business’s adaptation. We encourage our current team members to connect with their Management and/or H.R teams to address any concerns in an effort to find resolution.
