Pros

One of best paying firms in San Fernando valley, especially for the executives, directors and managers. The bonus structure can be spectacular for executives, if business goals were achieved. Supplements sold to employees 80% cheaper than in retailers. Free parking.

Cons

Weak leadership is observed, at times making questionable business choices, coupled with top down directions and strategies that often are unsuitable to achieve the stated business goals. A track record of "throwing people under the bus" when things inevitably go wrong, or blame "the weather" for the weak results. High executive turnover and long gaps before replacements arrive make it a delicate work environment. Career progression is more likely if the executive likes you than for having good performance. Good people frequently leave when they cannot get promoted, or do not belong to favored ex-Mars or ex-P&G clans. Lack of innovation and a stifling work environment in corporate offices that favors compliance and loyalty over transparency and respect.

Pharmavite is the best company I have worked for. The culture is positive, supportive, and empowering. As an HRBP, I am trusted to make decisions based on business needs and am viewed as a strategic partner. I appreciate the autonomy, career development opportunities, and strong support from leadership. As a woman, I value the visible representation of women in senior leadership roles and the opportunities available for advancement. Employee morale is excellent, and Pharmavite truly creates an environment where people can grow, succeed, and enjoy coming to work every day.

Cons

I honestly have enjoyed every minute of my time at Pharmavite. I love the work that I do and the people I work with.
