Not even Covid-19 could keep me here. - Anonymous employee Pharmavite LLC Employee Review

I left this company in the middle of a pandemic. Don't listen to fluffy 5-star summer reviews. This company has many issues, and like most reviews point out, the company tries to deflect by saying it's in a time of transition, and those complaining don't want to change with the times. Yes, this company needed a change, but this company has no idea what they are doing. We push through projects to revamp the brand to have them crash and burn or have them scratched by senior leaders who can't agree. This company can't get on the same page, and senior management passes the blame. When you have lousy leadership, none of the new programs will succeed. I started job hunting last fall, hearing of the reorganizations and layoffs happening; my role was not impacted, but the changes negatively impacted our team. When the company moved to the new offices,' many employees doubled their commute times, and managers were not open to working from home or other options. HR would defer to their managers. There was no point in trying to talk to anyone for support. With Covid-19, all corporate employees have been working from home and getting work done to the manager's surprise. Treat employees like adults, stop trying to hide behind 1970 HR policies. The company made a massive push for the open space environment and coming into the millennium as a "hip" company. Yet, employees were given less freedom and treated more like children. The CEO says I want to empower you all to remove all the red tape, but the very leaders he brought on are the most significant red tape. We can't move forward when leaders want to micromanage and keep an eye on everything. It's challenging to work cross-functionally when leaders are bickering and just passing the blame to save their jobs instead of doing their jobs and collaborating. Hiring 2 innovation teams is not innovating; making leaders accountable for their behavior and changing the environment to do work and innovate is what is needed.
