Pros

Benefits were great. The owner is very friendly and cares for his employees and it shows with the type of benefits they offer and the amount of the cost covered by the employer,

Cons

Managers took micro-managing to an extreme. They never gave the benefit of the doubt, always assumed the worse. It ended up being a very stressful situation. Also a very young group in the accounting dept, a bit too young and immature.

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.
