Pros

The mission of the company is impactful and meaningful... it's nice to know you are making a difference in people's lives. The base salaries are very competitive. The physical work environment - the corporate home office - is very high end... nice furniture, nice computer equipment, etc. From the perspective of those individuals looking in from the outside, it seems like an excellent place to work.

Cons

Executive management lacks competency and character. The workplace is full of politics. It is a very reactive environment that operates based on emotion instead of objectivity and logic. Communication is beyond substandard. No one shares information and everyone is preoccupied with covering things up to make themselves look good. It is an extremely stressful environment to work in. The mission of the company is focused on physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, but the company does not walk the talk with its employees. Employees are not recognized for their accomplishments and there is zero employee development or career advancement opportunities. Advancement is only an option if you are related or close to the Ellison family. Although salaries are competitive, it's not worth it... if you are considering a career with TriVita, I would HIGHLY recommend you think twice and seek employment elsewhere.

Pros

There are none. If the products were made using no synthetic ingredients and were Organic it would be much better

Cons

Not getting paid your due compensation! When you acquired customers through the old Coop system you earned compensation at 21% of 70-80% of the product value. In recent years that dropped to 20% of approx. 52% of product value. The new Coop program is currently paying those that spend the money to participate in this program get 40% of the product value weekly, for now. We have to pay back office fees to access our customers and we have to spend money every month qualifying our account in order to get the compensation. So far we are not getting that compensation but if we miss qualifying our account we will not get paid our compensation. It costs us money every month to qualify our account yet they are behind in paying us what they owe us. Eventually I believe people will stop giving TriVita the money to qualify their account and the compensation ,when it eventually pays, will go to the upline. A large amount of customers in the database are duplicates which means that if compensation is paid it only goes to one person yet many ITBO's acquired these customers through the Coop program at a cost of approx. $100.00 per contact. These customers made TriVita money by being in the system more than once and in some cases 5,6 7 times. If a customer doesn't order for a few months their phone number disappears from the back office, that we pay to maintain ,so we have no way of contacting them. These customers were to have paid compensation to the ITBO's for life once acquired. The uplines that have a lot of ITBO's under them will get the compensation so they won't be complaining about our loss of compensation.

Pros

The people at TriVita are amazing, the Wellness Center group is awesome. Having the onsite medical and workout area is wonderful and very helpful. You feel like they really want to help on your wellness journey. The mid management people are wonderful and helpful when they can be, but their hands are tied. PTO amount is very generous.

Cons

Wellness feels forced, whether you want to be on a journey or not, you need to be on one if you want to be "happy" at work. Upper Management need to quit being "yes men" and start actually telling Mr Ellison what is going on, and give true opinions instead of just agreeing with him - don't get me wrong, he is an amazing man and has wonderful ideas. I believe he truly cares but, he needs to know how things are really happening and that not ALL of his ideas are great.
