Olive Tree People Reviews

The Founder is the problem. Same company as Oliveda and same bad reviews. Founder is rude and suffers from a personality problem. We believe he has anger and rage issues. Everyone in the office avoids him because he doesn't make sense, then yells at everyone because of his inefficiency. There is some shady stuff going on with promising company stock to the Consultants as well. pays everyone cash with no benefits.

I wish I could give a rating lower than one star. My overwhelming experience was that the business model felt more like a predatory MLM than a legitimate company. 
My time here was the most professionally damaging and stressful experience of my career. The company's structure felt fundamentally flawed, prioritizing recruitment over product sales, which created a high-pressure environment where employees were set up to fail from the start. The leadership's management style was cruel and unprofessional. I witnessed the CEO routinely yell at our team first thing in the morning, with tantrums that created a culture of fear. Directors and heads employed tactics that felt designed to isolate and micromanage employees. It was my observation that if you were not in favor with leadership, you were not fired outright. Instead, you were subjected to such intense pressure and undermining that resignation felt like the only way out. The favoritism was blatant and created a vicious cycle. A small in-group received special treatment, while others were subjected to what felt like a "crab bucket" mentality, where anyone trying to succeed was pulled down. I saw multiple kind and competent coworkers break down in tears at their desks due to the constant pressure and public humiliation. I also saw people let go abruptly, often on days when management seemed to be in a particularly bad mood, with no clear performance-based reason provided. The company is profoundly unstructured and unorganized. In my role, I saw no formal strategy and things were often made up on the fly. There is no functional HR department, so there is no safe channel to report the bullying and harassment I witnessed. Because of this, there is zero opportunity for genuine career growth. Given the high turnover, the toxic atmosphere, and the fact that I am aware of multiple ongoing lawsuits from former colleagues, I would not be surprised if the company struggles to continue operating. I am sharing this review solely to warn others. Please prioritize your mental health and professional well-being. I strongly advise staying away.
