Pros

Free products each month for evaluation. Nice amenities in the Corporate office. Low traffic southeastern Idaho community. Company events such as picnic and Christmas party.

Cons

As a member of the IT department for a number of years I have seen lots of changes. Some good some not so good. Although nothing as severe as what has happened in the last 12 months. At least 30% of the entire department has been laid-off, quit, or fired. Sadly there will be many more to follow. A new CIO was on-boarded a year ago and that is when the trouble began. The CIO has no idea what he is doing and is a dishonest individual. Crafting tall tells and taking others ideas as his own. He is he** bent on saving the company money. And that is what he is doing. Running the IT department right into the ground. Its easy to save money when you have eliminated the need to pay anyone as they all have left. This CIO thinks he knows the IT industry well based on his current experience of working for the LDS church. Nothing could be further from the truth. New workspace in the new corporate headquarters for IT is inhumane. The entire department feels that they are treated like low class citizens being force to work on a 6 foot slab with no privacy or opportunity to have a quiet thought.

Pros

- side benefits are okay - it is a median sort of job - I personally have some freedom do to personal professional development on the clock when there is no immediate need for my work (happens very little) - People half listen once they know you have been at Melaleuca after about 5 years

Cons

- No management that knows what they are doing - Not very customer-focused - Don't seek to fulfill their strategic imperatives or strategies or mission - Very hard for people to listen to you because you're new - They don't have a lot of integrity - Very slow to solve problems - Don't worry about making improvements in processes or tools we use - Slow AI usage and no proficiency in AI usage, strategies or implementation - Managers micromanage because Melaleuca is "unique" - Most of the positive things they tout all the time serves only the company's image, not the employees - Don't worry about giving raises in a timely manner - Not goal-oriented employer And I could probably keep going, but will stop here.
