Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, distributes great healthy products. Great potential with the right leadership.

Cons

Leadership can’t figure out the future. Constant strategy changes, high turnover in all departments. Low pay compared to others in the industry. Customers are not being serviced like they should be due to lack of resources and execution. They can’t figure out or understand the system is broken and gets worse every year. That’s why stock price is flat.
