Pros

Nice Owner who cares about employees and takes the time to listen. Free drinks and Fruit. Most employees are great hardworking people.

Cons

HR does not take the time to listen to employee issues. Especially when they are with one of the horrible Middle Eastern Directors who take micro management to a whole new level. You say you want to hire "the best employees who have years of experience in the field" yet when you bring them in you micro manage them to the point that it is a hostile and stressful work environment. Before I left I spoke with several people (management and non-management) who shared the same feelings and want out as well.

Pros

iHerb pays 100% of medical benefits for you and your immediate family. They are generous with vacation accruals. Salaries are generous.

Cons

The company continues to operate with a small-business, "mom-and-pop" mentality despite its growth. Leadership is highly centralized, with most decisions driven by the CEO. Employees often perceive that those who are not viewed favorably by leadership are eventually managed out of the organization. There is a culture of fear around speaking up, as many employees worry about potential negative consequences to their employment. Favoritism among leaders is frequently observed, and advancement opportunities can be limited for individuals who are not part of the preferred inner circle.
