Pros

Many employees believe in the mission and are passionate about educating the public. The talented professionals I enjoyed working with are no longer with the company.

Cons

It is an abusive dictatorship. CEO and Owner verbally abuse employees routinely and allow the CIO to do so as well (no matter how many complaints are filed with HR. I witnessed incredibly unethical and questionable business practices. They claim to be educators but are solely driven by profits with no regard for human rights or, in some cases the law. I am a professional with over 20 years of experience, I have not ever been exposed to a diseased company culture such as this.

Great Benefits; Horrible Work Environment

Pros

The benefits that are given to the employee's are great which include medical, catered quality lunch, in office gym (trainers included), and company activities. However, any position within this company will find that this is the only benefit of working here.

Cons

This is an abusive corporate environment by the current leadership in place. The corporate leaders will have no hesitation to blame issues on one another or even you (using foul language). This is due to the lack of business plans in place to help move the company forward which is shown in stagnant company growth (and other negative reviews). This does not allow for an employee to move forward in their career. As well, the company only supplies an average or below average salary compared to the competitive market (possibly due to the lack of growth). The amount of work that an average employee is extremely large due to the management wanting to focus on too many projects within the company. Management has an unrealistic expectation of having large scale operations for a small company. After working at this company for quite some time, I never knew what the culture and values were besides getting your work done yesterday.

Do Not Work Here: Poor Management and Even Worse HR

Pros

Good benefits, free lunch. Pay is ok.

Cons

Like previous posts going back to IL, management plays favorites and is immature. There are few you can rely on and they get rid of the good ones for no good reason. There is no point going to HR for anything as they will not investigate or even bother getting the other side of a story. They believe whatever lies they are told and blindly do what management tells them to do. Save yourself the headache and seek employment at a larger company that will treat you with respect and transparency and provides the option for a long career. Mercola is not it!
