10yI'm sorry to hear that you felt as though you were treated like a second class citizen. That is definitely not iHerb's vision. All team members add tremendous value.

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.
