Pros

Air conditioning, SOME neat co-workers

Cons

If you are a temp and clock in even a minute late, you will be penalized for it. Regardless if your supervisor says you get a 3 minute grace period. They will lie to you to keep their numbers up. They never call break on time. You should get 2 1/2 minutes before break is called, you're lucky if you even get one. If you leave before break is called by a lead or supervisor, they will pull you aside and talk down to you. They play favorites with the faster workers and tell other employees to favor them.

We are so sorry that you had a difficult experience while working for a temporary agency. Since you worked for the agency and not for iHerb, we recommend that having direct communication with the temp agency is key to a successful work experience.

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.
