Pros

When it does well, the 100,000 people who live here do okay (but not great, since it is run by a trickle-down CEO).

Cons

Melaleuca, Inc. may refuse to be called a pyramid scheme, but it's definitely a scheme of a pyramid-like nature. (Let's call it a dodecahedron scheme.) The CEO is at the top of the dodecahedron and their salary is nothing compared to how much they make off of every single marketing executive (all of whom are all in the down line of their side company, Tea Tree, Inc.). Melaleuca, Inc. is run by white, middle-age, Mormon males. There are no women or minorities on the board or in chief-level management.

Pros

Great to work for, the people are kind and willing to help you with any problem you run into.

Cons

They're stingy with promotions and probably won't utilize you to your fullest capacity

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.
