Pros

My commute was great. Coworkers were nice.

Cons

This is a wanna be hip company with their snacks and “flexible” time off. But in reality this company thrives on nepotism, slavery, and antiquated management antics. Stay away. Far away. You have been warned.

Let me start by thanking you for your honest and direct feedback. Even though you're no longer with iHerb, you took the time to share an opinion and we appreciate it. It's true, we offer snacks and paid time off to team members, and our team members are a great community of friendly and productive people! All of our team members are hired through iHerb's recruiting processes, and we strive to promote a fair workplace - through performance, through pay, through benefits, through work assignments - for our team members at iHerb. We respectfully disagree that iHerb tolerates "nepotism [or] slavery". We wish you the best in your continued career pursuits.

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.
