Pros

It was a great opportunity to earn above minimum wage in Rexburg, which is a difficult place to find work. I loved being able to grow my French and customer service skills.

Cons

It's difficult in any job to sit and answer calls all day I didn't like the constant review process of grading my phone calls and making sure I hit all sales pitches

Great Company with Room For Improvement

Pros

If you are looking for a company with benefits, this is the company for you. Matched 401K, Insurance rates, competitive pay, loyalty bonuses --- all great reasons to be with Melaleuca. Not to mention, the job environment is with friendly people who are generally, pretty successful at what they do. The benefits of having a gym in the office, cafeteria (payroll deducted) and day care on site, is a huge advantage for those with families. Frank Vandersloot is a one of a kind leader who you can honestly tell cares about his company and the internal culture within. I remember him calling an official mandatory meeting so that he could address his concerns. Not many CEO's take that opportunity and that is why Melaleuca is different.

Cons

The only reason I didn't give this a 4-star was because the cons outweigh the pros. I spent multiple years at Melaleuca in both their Rexburg Call Center and Home Office. Many people find success in Melaleuca, but there is a definite inner-political environment there. The talent that is available, not to mention the cost saving opportunity that internal promotion creates, is often overlooked. If you look at the company now, I'd say that those who graduated from BYU-Idaho specifically, tend to try to stay 1-3 years to find internal promotional opportunities. Yes, at times, talent is found outside of the company, but it is much easier to train someone in a position, than to have to train and find someone who fits with your culture. If you look around LinkedIn or other sources, you can notice the talent that Melaleuca has passed on by the careers that people are developing outside of the Melabubble as some might call it. Inevitably, you are always going to find employees who leave for better jobs or opportunities, however, I felt that Melaleuca lost a lot of talent because instead of looking to promote within, they are looking outside. There is talent out there, but you are going to have to work twice as hard to find someone who believes in the company as much as the tenured employees do.

Pros

Great benefits, stable company, competitive pay for mid- to upper-management, great work environment, great area for outdoor enthusiasts.

Cons

Frequent late-nights and a lot of employees are overloaded with work projects, which often results in sacrificing quality for just getting on to the next project.
