Great Company with Room For Improvement - Anonymous employee Melaleuca Employee Review

The only reason I didn't give this a 4-star was because the cons outweigh the pros. I spent multiple years at Melaleuca in both their Rexburg Call Center and Home Office. Many people find success in Melaleuca, but there is a definite inner-political environment there. The talent that is available, not to mention the cost saving opportunity that internal promotion creates, is often overlooked. If you look at the company now, I'd say that those who graduated from BYU-Idaho specifically, tend to try to stay 1-3 years to find internal promotional opportunities. Yes, at times, talent is found outside of the company, but it is much easier to train someone in a position, than to have to train and find someone who fits with your culture. If you look around LinkedIn or other sources, you can notice the talent that Melaleuca has passed on by the careers that people are developing outside of the Melabubble as some might call it. Inevitably, you are always going to find employees who leave for better jobs or opportunities, however, I felt that Melaleuca lost a lot of talent because instead of looking to promote within, they are looking outside. There is talent out there, but you are going to have to work twice as hard to find someone who believes in the company as much as the tenured employees do.
