USANA Health Sciences Reviews

Pros

Great developers! Great people! Benefits are pretty good. Profit Sharing is great. Gym is incredible. Health products available at an amazing discount.

Advice to Management

When someone gives you 23 years of service and fellow coworkers you work with every day back you and say you do your job, fight for the employee. Not the new director who has been there a month.

Pros

USANA goes the extra mile for its employees, associates, customers, and community. There are a lot of great perks as an employee that you just don't see at other employers. I enjoy that we get things like covered parking, on-site gym and cafe, good benefits, very involved wellness program, scores of employee (and family) activities, employee recognition events, free product, the best company swag ever, awesome profit sharing, mentoring programs, monthly health/wellness seminars, and even free fruit every day. The list goes on.

One of the awesome parts is our charity organization that does an incredible job all over the world fighting hunger for children and families. It's great to be able to to donate straight from your paycheck to help feed the less fortunate. USANA is very involved in the local community as well. Service projects are routine events that you can participate in, very often during work hours which is really rewarding and generous of the company.

One of the things we are very lucky to have are excellent leaders all over the company. Senior and executive leadership are very involved with their teams, they're approachable, down to earth (you should see their music videos), and as you get to know them you realize that we have genuinely good and generous people at the helm which is reassuring as an employee. The "lunch with an executive" events are a treat. As you go down the ranks you continue to find very intelligent and accomplished professionals all over the place who are willing to share their knowledge and skills to help you be better at your own job. You get a sense that you can make a difference and contribution that matters.

It is all hands on deck during the annual convention and while it can be a lot of work, it can be really exciting to meet so many people from all over the world in one place. The company does a lot to say thanks for everyone's hard work.

I think departments work well with each other at USANA and it has been wonderful to partner with so many people all over the world to accomplish awesome things.

USANA is a great place to work!

I have worked in USANA's IT department for over 10 years. There are a lot of great things to say about USANA:

The list goes on and on. Needless to say, USANA has been such a great place to work for a long time. There have been bumps along the way, but USANA always manages to make things right and continually strives for greatness.

Advice to Management

Continue in the direction you are moving. USANA is getting better and better every day.

USANA has done a wonderful job of building a healthy environment for software engineering. They truly care about their employees and strongly promote a healthy work life balance. The CIO himself is a terrific example by keeping a great balance himself. The management makes decisions but they listen and take your input seriously.

Advice to Management

Keep promoting the culture the way you have in the last 2 years.

Pros

IT management is committed to empowering its development teams. It is refreshing to work alongside so many smart people who really care about the quality of the results they produce. The company culture has matured significantly in the two years since I have been here. Opportunities for advancement are created as change is introduced. And you have to love the profit sharing, because the company is doing very well :-).

Pros

Here's my list of why I love it here at USANA

Opportunity - The ability to grow and learn at USANA has been amazing. If you truly want to learn and grow there are many great leaders that are willing to listen and mentor.

Employee Appreciation - USANA has an amazingly active HR. Reward events, recognition for contribution and time at USANA, department events/parties, meaningful training courses, actively improving the wants and needs of everyone at USANA.

Benefits - Paid time off is generous, Vacation Time, Sick Time, Family Time, and Floating Holidays. Maternal and Paternal Leave. Low costs on medical, dental, vision and great 401k retirement options.

Health and Wellness - USANA has done a great job on making sure the employees feel at home while at work. Full on-site gym, full basketball court, on-site free fitness training, free fitness group classes. Employees have a few ways of getting USANA products, shakes, vitamins, healthy supplements that are all top tier products.

The Employees - I personally work with most departments and countries at USANA, I have never been part of such a great team! Most groups have the want to grow and be better and I have never felt like an outsider when asking questions or working with other departments.

Advice to Management

The improvements in our IT department have been a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work!

Pros

USANA's IT department was a mess when I started almost 5 years ago. There were no standards on anything and it was hard to manage and keep up with changes. With a new CIO and IT upper management it has improved immensely. The IT department has over 200 employees and all the teams work well together. We all have direction and are all working on the same goal to improve even more. There is still room for improvement and that's what makes it exciting - to see the changes and improvements being made make me proud to be part of the IT department.

USANA as a whole is an amazing place to work. The culture is amazing, everyone is so nice and will to do everything they can to help. The chief officers know that work is not the only thing in life and promote a healthy work / life balance because they want that for themselves too!

There are some great benefits as well: full gym, basketball court, fitness classes, healthy onsite cafeteria, 401k matching, profit sharing, health benefits are decent, great people to work with and for.
