Advice to Management

My advice to management is to keep USANA's culture maturing. I've seen it come a long way in the 12 years i've been at USANA. There is always room to improve and it will always need care and feeding over the years.

Pros

The people are great! Our execs are the best.

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.

Pros

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

*Makes large efforts to create and maintain the culture they want
*Work life balance
*Cares about its employees.
*Continually looking for ways to improve
*Executive leadership is fantastic
*They do a great job maintaining stability in our strategy and priorities
*They listen to their employees
*Job opportunities
*Promotes good health to their employees and the world
*Since I'm in IT, I want to say something specifically about the CIO - He is continually trying to improve the department and company and always does the right things for the right reasons. He listens to his people. He is always thinking about the culture of the department.

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.

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

Advice to Management

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

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 :-).

Advice to Management

Keep empowering the employees. The organization gets better when initiatives are primarily bottom-up.

Pros

Let me start out by saying that I have read the reviews on here. I have worked for companies that were very political and had a lot of nepotism. You can't get away from that completely, but USANA is mild in both of these categories.

The senior management here actually cares about employees. It's the first time I've felt like I can talk with an executive without any type of backlash. I have been impressed with how much they care about the culture and making sure everyone feels valued. I have loved working here.

I feel like this is a company that I can actually progress in and grow into a thriving career. The work/life balance is the best I've had anywhere. The vacation, while it seems terrible at first, is actually very generous. Starting out you get two weeks, plus a total of 6 floating holidays, 2 days of family time, and sick days. They have the standard paid holidays, so overall you're getting over 4 weeks of paid days off.

The benefits are better than any I have seen at other companies. People can complain about not being able to get the doctors they want, but it's still a fantastic plan and USANA is very generous in how much they pay for.

The onsite gym and basketball court is sweet. I love being able to go shoot baskets or play soccer on lunch breaks. It's easy to be active here.

It's really nice to get free products too! I haven't had to buy shampoo or conditioner in a year because of working here. I love it! Overall this is a fantastic company and I hope to spend many more years here.

Advice to Management

Keep cultivating a culture of caring. I love where we are headed.

Pros

Free product, discounted product, profit sharing, discounted logo wear, solid communication between us and supervisor, diverse, friendly work environment
