Pros

• There are wonderful people who work here, it’s a welcoming and friendly environment for the most part. • I suggest applying if you‘re looking to get your foot in the door and gain experience at your first office job. • There is room for growth, as AlgaeCal has been expanding rapidly the past few years. • You’ll learn a lot, and that will likely be supported through online courses, conferences, etc. If you’re interested in natural healing, nutrition, etc, you’ll gain a lot of knowledge in a customer service role. • The product is fantastic — it works. And it’s gratifying to hear about customers positive results. • There are fun team trips to parts of BC and Cabo.

Cons

• You will not be paid well, despite claims that pay is above market value. • I experienced sexism/discrimination, gaslighting, and bullying toward myself and others from company leaders. • Top leadership is inauthentic and lack empathy, and use manipulative tactics to portray a false image of positivity and support. • Genuine feedback and open communication is nonexistent. Team members have learned if you go against the grain, you risk putting your job on the line – there is a fear-based culture.

Pros

Great company culture. Caring individuals. Good work life balance. Good opportunities for advancement/learning.

Cons

It's hard me to receive a plan for my career as I have a unique role, but that's not really fault of the company per se.

Pros

•AlgaeCal is very intentional about creating a great company culture. They look for people who are smart, driven, and good with people. This creates a positive, healthy work environment. •The supplements AlgaeCal sells are backed by science. No other company can say their natural calcium supplements have been shown in clinical studies to actually *increase* bone density. These products really work, and they genuinely transform lives. So when you work at AlgaeCal, you can feel good about what you're selling.

Cons

•It would be nice if the company offered a healthcare package to its U.S. employees, but you can still get health insurance through the marketplace, so this isn't a "make or break" thing for most people. The lack of what Americans would consider standard employee benefits is the only reason I didn't rate the "Compensations & Benefits" category a 5/5. In general, AlgaeCal is a great place to work!
