Young Living Essential Oils Reviews

Pros

Overall, Young Living is an amazing company to work for. Management actively cultivates a supportive culture and provides pay, benefits, perks, and space that show that they believe in the people they hire and want them to be happy. Mary, the CEO and co-founder, is an inspiration to everyone.

Cons

During my almost three years at Young Living, I worked on three different teams, and the quality of each team's leadership varied greatly, from the best I've experienced in my career to the worst. Although belief in the company's mission was never in short supply among my supervisors, the inconsistency in their management styles was disconcerting to me. I strive to adapt to any management style, but I was stretched too thin.

Pros

decent hours and great pay

Cons

management can be overbearing at times

Pros

Free young living products each month.

Cons

They fired almost all of the Executive team, people are getting fired left and right and even though they have made some really good changes to get customer satisfaction up and product out in a timely manner they are continuing to make unnecessary changes that are effecting company culture. The company used to have a very relaxed and welcoming feeling, now you feel like you have to watch your back or you will be next... They spy on employees, (mic is always hot) and record your screen. they have a team just to watch this and fire people if someone says something they do not like even if you are not on with a member and you are just saying something under your breath... their expectations of what you say and don't say is insane and the expectation to follow script is very unrealistic... the new culture is not something I like being apart of... They also hired a bunch of people during covid and promised that everyone would work from home from now on. then when a new director was hired they told us we could not work remote anymore. They do not keep their word.

Pros

The co-workers are amazing! I have made so many friends from working here. The benefits are good.

Cons

The company seems to be constantly changing their minds about policies, procedures, rules, etc. for not only their employees but also their customers. This makes it hard to make forward progress because things are constantly changing at the last minute, and pre-planning rarely occurs. There have been a lot of broken promises, and people going against their word causing stressful work situations and a feeling of not being needed or wanted for the company. Inter-departmental communication is lacking and overall organization of projects is rocky. I have been in many different departments in this company and have seen these issues over and over again.

Pros

It’s the only job I could find in a short period of time that offered full benefits. Was looking forward to tuition reimbursement before they forced me out. It’s so toxic here that none of the “pros” even matter. For the same pay you could work in food service and at least get a free meal out of it and not have people screaming at you on the phone for an hour at a time.

Cons

Every week a new rule came up with no announcement, you would just get a 0% on your call grade and they wouldn’t even tell you beforehand that something was changing or had changed. Completely in the dark on what’s going on until it’s too late. A lot of time the members know things before employees???? Insane. They took away employee bonuses and recognition, completely dissolved our culture and engagement department and never put anything else in place. CLEARLY they do not care about their own employees anymore. It’s all about cutting corners and saving every penny they can, and working the phone agents to death. Worst communication I have ever experienced in any job I’ve had in the last 11 years!!! I’m not even certain there is a dedicated comm team... I would be shocked if there is one because there is almost no communication, you basically have to go searching on your own for updates every single day and hope you can even find them. You can’t get promoted unless you’re BFFs with someone in management already and lick their boots from day 1. I’ve seen phone agents doing the work for the team leads and not getting paid any different for it. They exploit everyone at entry level so they can gossip and snack all day. Extremely toxic environment. I saw so many people quit for their mental health alone. I opened up about my disability and from that point on I was ridiculed and critiqued extremely hard on my calls, before that I was acing my calls at 100%.... HR had no compassion whatsoever and I felt they forced me to quit.
