Melaleuca Reviews

Pros

Great benefits, good culture, good pay

Cons

Monotonous, repetitive work, short breaks one 15 and one 30

Pros

Made some good friends working there.

Cons

The whole company is a scam. They don't care about their employees. It's impossible to get time off. Very low raises, low chance of getting a promotion. Have to accept verbal abuse on the phones. Not a good place to work.

Pros

Great Creative Team. You'll work with other talented creatives and they do actually have some decent/great products. You'll be FORCED to live in the immediate area. The pay is great if you are lured in from out of state as I was.

Cons

You are a slave to the machine and misused by the CEO and company. They seem all rah-rah - but you are cattle at the mercy of the whims of the CEO who never approves things or meets his deadlines on time for the Creative Dept. And I do mean never! Every month for example a publication is done with a letter from him and every month it's late going to press because of him. Also, the head of HR is a total tool. I would gladly use worse language if possible! BEWARE OF THE SIGNING BONUS! You'll be TRAPPED for 2 years.

Pros

Lots of room to grow in the company and you can be a superstar if you're willing to work hard and be competent at any type of technology. Idaho Falls is a beautiful location a 2 hr drive to Yellowstone and Teton national parks. Tip: Be very very picky about who your manager is because the promotion and bonus system is very painful and make sure to negotiate the heck out of your starting salary because it is challenging to earn a salary increase (no standardized performance requirements it's 100% your manager batting for you).

Cons

Systems and processes are antiquated (think lots of paper pushing, no standardized applications/tech between departments). Company is very nervous about transparency and criticism (I doubt they'll leave this review) and is built around the production lines, shipping dept, and call center so if you're used to a company that is built around admin departments it will be a culture shock and can feel condescending (ex: you get a piece of meat for your Christmas company gift no inclusive options for vegan, vegetarian, hallal folks or a free snack from the cafe as the department employee of the month, insurance premiums aren't included as a part of your compensation).

Pros

Benefits, voucher, and work / home life balance

Cons

Just like everywhere else as far as management goes

Pros

Melaleuca is a great place to work for. I have great friends here and enjoy the work that I do. We are definitely going through growing pains and struggling through impacts of the pandemic and logistics, but it's a good place. The new CEO is awesome.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive given that other companies would allow me to work from home where here I am forced to come into work. We've also increased our pricing across our products to adjust for inflation, but when it comes to wage increases my salary increase didn't even come close. I am making less this year then I did last year due to inflation. It's also painfully obvious that IT and other individuals are compensated and given special benefits over everyone else. I'm dishing out like $150-200 a month on fuel to come into work, that's a car payment and/or food on the table that I'll never get back. Yet we give this benefit to others because of a role title or department their in. If your going to force me to come into work and allow others to stay home it would be considerate to provide vouchers or additional pay.

Pros

Melaleuca provides a wide variety of corporate experience, and does promote from within. Those interested in trying a flavor of various departments will find that opportunity with Melaleuca.

Cons

The management systems are outdated, and yet the company has a reputation for wanting to keep with their traditional roots. This can be endearing, but also create unnecessary growing pains that can be costly to employees and customers.

Pros

They pride themselves for never having layoffs.

Cons

They celebrated the fact that some one was a fork lift driver for 30 years. If you want to move up good luck. And the anniversary bonus.... If they paid department of labor compatible wages for the area you would earn in 1.5 instead of 5 yr

Pros

Great place to work while going to school! Flexible with scheduling, plus they really care about your personal growth and development.

Cons

Not perfect, (no company is) however from my experience they try really hard to make it a good place to work, and to take care of their employees.

Pros

get to take products home. Get discounts on more too. hq has a nice gym and cafeteria

Cons

no working from home option anymore.
