IDLife Reviews

IDLife will initially bring you into the company with many promises about career growth, opportunity, leadership opportunities, compensation, etc. None of this is true. Management will always lie to make you feel important. Don’t believe them. IDLife is a family owned business, and managerial opportunities are non-existent unless you are part the family. Nearly everything that is communicated by the CEO or the President of the company is a lie, so be careful about what you believe from them. As specifically said by the CEO in a company-wide meeting, there won't ever be raises, bonuses, or promotions. He does not believe companies should give yearly raises to their employees, or “pat them in the back” for doing a good job. Career advancement is nonexistent. IDLife is where careers come to die. No matter how much they say you will be promoted, that the company is growing and you grow with it, it is not true. In a period of 6 months over 7 people have quit, and very few of them have gotten replaced. The workload is passed along to existing employees who are incredibly overworked and severely underpaid. Management tell everyone (especially new hires) that those people got fired, but it is not true - they all left on their own. Apart from the constant lies, broken promises, there is absolutely no communication. Promotions, sales, and announcements are decided hours, if not minutes, before they go live. The executive team does not listen to reason, or ideas to improve this. Everything is blamed on the company being a “startup”, and they are not a startup.

If you aren't apart of the "clique" in the office, you can forget about any kind of perks. The advocates are treated like the red headed step child. They don't get any of the perks, bonuses, or get to be apart of the fun. Advocates are left out of everything. When there are potlucks or lunches, the advocates are asked to stay behind and work at their desks, or they are split into groups, keeping the entire "team" from celebrating together. Company doesn't hire from within like they promise. There are a lot of events for corporate to participate in, but only if you aren't an advocate. Although the Independent Associates would much rather spend their time with the advocates that they actually talk to and work with on a daily basis. Many times I was asked if we could go on trips, or events and when I told them we couldn't go, they would say they don't want to see the people they don't know, they'd much rather see the advocates at the events, since they "know" the advocates. (Notice the good reviews don't come from advocates!!)
