Pros

There are no shortages of surprises that keep you on your toes and everyone entertained, as long as one of those surprises isn't you getting fired or demoted (but most likely it was your colleague who was though). There is a beach volleyball court outside where you can watch Verizon employees play for 2 hours a day while you contemplate where your career went wrong. Sometimes the only thing that gets you through the day is the hope that one day when you get your severance package, you'll finally join them for some volleyball! If you have commitment issues then you don't have to worry, your friends and coworkers won't be around too long for you to get attached. They occasionally hire some young cute co-eds, but you'll have to get in line after the President who will promote them to his "personal" project manager. There is a real-life robot wars arena in office! Just need to find robot engineers who still have all their fingers.

Cons

Can't really think of any real cons, except sometimes the cheese in the kitchen runs out too quickly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. Sifting through the sarcasm/humor, we can assure you and everyone else we don't have real-life robot wars or robot engineers. We are however working on exciting things which one of them is warehouse robotics. We definitely hope you are able to figure things out and get your career on track with us or another opportunity. One thing that will definitely help is focusing on learning and advancing your own trade skills and doing good work versus speculation about President, managers, or others.

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.
