Pros

They have a few good products that work well, Bioforge, Stimulate, X-tra power and Sugar Mover. Good benefits but no 401K Savings plan. Invest on your own.

Cons

Sadistic and controlling company owner likes to create chaos by creating 500 products that all overlap each other to keep everyone confused and he likes to create tension in the field by overlapping consultants with sales reps in the same territory so they compete against each other. Stoller has unwavering loyalty to 3rd party consultants, they walk on water no matter the dirty deeds and half truths that have been said to sell the product line. If you mess with them, you are out of a job. Very few policies set in place so there are no guidelines for anything, even management doesn't know, they just work on the fly. Forget about anyone in corporate doing anything to support the field level employees, incompetence is rewarded and rampant. There is zero follow through with most management staff. The company is under the guise of change but it's a facade. Nothing will change until there is a new owner in place and even then, it’s doubtful. Owner is more concerned with his Christian charities and that he is known as a Christian philanthropist, rather than an owner of concern who would address the unethical behavior of his close long time friends that work for him as contractors and have taken advantage of decent honest people. The good old boy club here prevails and it's all about the bottom line. If you are not in the good ole boy club, you are out. As mentioned above, there is no 401K savings plan. Good luck trying to move up, no advancement opportunities.

Pros

His best selling name brand products work well when prescribed correctly and used according to labeled rates.

Cons

The number one rule was keep your head down and do what you're told - don't question Stoller or his shady consultant friends or else nor try to learn how the product is performing; little did we know this is because they didn't want anybody to know the challenges or failures that the product as a system was experiencing... Stoller and consultants were overly optimistic about the state of the system, but had no sense of the reality of their products. There were way too many that overlapped and made no sense. The company has absolutely no structure. Stoller touts the greatness of his "Christian" charities and how the world is out to get him yet his company was just sued for 45 million for less than ethical business dealings which is par for the course. Little did we know we were just drinking the cool-aid. This is what you get when you hire your consultant yes-men and product management is run like a fraternity. Despite doing some of our best work as sales reps and believing in the product, many of us are doomed to be associated with this con-job for the rest of our careers...
