Benefits are great, a lot of opportunity for growth in the company and willingness to reach out to co-workers. Very friendly/family oriented company.

Give employees more opportunity to contribute to the workings of the company rather than top down format

Pros

Giving back, community involvement, nice people with great team support

Cons

salary was low compare to market value, only okay benefits, not much schedule flexibility, policies keep on changing

Advice to Management

be consistent and have a clear direction of where they want to go

Pros

-Free products (if you’re in to that) -Possible flexible hours -Good work atmosphere

Cons

-Pay is not competitive -No path for growth in the company -Little to no direction from top managers or corporate

Advice to Management

Management should have a vision of the future and be able to pass that on to employees and help them see their part in that future. Right now management does not have a clear idea if the future and therefore does not know who is going to help them get there.

Pros

Great Coworkers Simple but demanding work Assignment Diversity Benefits Holiday gifts Small bonuses (nothing to write home about) Work is monotonous so it's easy to zone out while listening to music or an audiobook

Cons

Some members of leadership are lazy, with the exception of poor attendance it feels like the lazy associates/ leads / trainers have to try to get terminated or quit out of boredom. Base pay in the shipping department varies from $12 -$14 an hour. Some senior (and I use that term loosely as hardly anyone makes it past 2 or 3 years) members of leadership make less than a dollar more than employees that just started yesterday....

Advice to Management

Compensate associates accordingly. An associate that knows the ins and outs, can operate machinery, and shows exceptional leadership skills shouldnt be making as little as the guy that started yesterday. Stop screwing associates out of yearly merits through shady practices. An associate with multiple years of experience in your warehouse is more valuable than the person that looks good on paper

Advice to Management

Continue to think globally striving to improve inefficiencies . Continue to partner with your lower level managers and directors on initiatives and strategy to avoid over committing resources and ensure we continue to deliver to our customers and employees expectations.

Pros

- There are some great people who work there - They feed you sometimes - The starting pay is a little above average

Cons

- I recently talked to management about rumors that there would be lay-offs. They denied them...and shortly thereafter they laid off a good handful of high performing employees - The company is expanding too quickly and is headed for financial instability - Very bureaucratic structure - A lot of the corporate executives lack business acumen and are there because they, with the founders, believe essential oils are God's...

Advice to Management

- This is a nearly 2 billion dollar mom and pop shop, when will it start running like an actual business? - Put the business needs before your own personal interests. (Don't partner with a CBD Oil company just because Jared Turner owns half of it) - Run this like a business not like a cult.
