Pros

- Each employee gets a chair and two monitors to work on - A filtered water system for employees - Company recycles paper from wasted print jobs from the copy machines and converted to "notepads" for employees to use - Company tends to hire employees that were under performers from other local companies so that they can implement those failing philosophies - Company Handbook has no meaning, so you don't have to worry about following any of those rules & regulations - If you know someone already working for Vitacost, you're a "shoe-in" to working for Vitacost - apply now since there are plenty of openings, but don't think the grass is greener here - You're able to purchase your own pens, notepads, post-its, and any other office supplies (but definitely not from Office Depot because half of the staff at Vitacost are former employees from there) with your own earned wages as you are not allowed to order these essential supplies to work due to frugal CEO - You'll get promoted if you're able to use pivot tables and Excel formulas, but not based on your industry knowledge - You get to spend lots of time away from your desk due to meetings with "executives" who delegate but really are just "YES" people and cover up mistakes and get recognized by projects actually executed by their subordinates - Bathrooms have toilet tissues and paper towels for drying off hands - HR stands for Horrible Reception to employees concerns and will not dare go against an Executive although HR ethics dictate otherwise

Cons
