Pros

Good benefits but that's all. Kuddos to the Director of Total Rewards.

Cons

iHerb has had about 5 lay offs since 2021. Goes to show you how unstable this company is. No matter how much you contribute to the company you are never safe. They let people go as often as you check your phone.... Stay away if you are looking for a long term position. Great place if you want to stay here for 6 months to get some e-comm experience.

Pros

iHerb pays 100% of medical benefits for you and your immediate family. They are generous with vacation accruals. Salaries are generous.

Cons

The company continues to operate with a small-business, "mom-and-pop" mentality despite its growth. Leadership is highly centralized, with most decisions driven by the CEO. Employees often perceive that those who are not viewed favorably by leadership are eventually managed out of the organization. There is a culture of fear around speaking up, as many employees worry about potential negative consequences to their employment. Favoritism among leaders is frequently observed, and advancement opportunities can be limited for individuals who are not part of the preferred inner circle.
