Pros

Talented people at ground level who genuinely care about customers and deliver despite constant changes. Decent product reputation globally.

Cons

The root problem sits at the top senior and president-level leadership within the Pharma/Nutra line. There is no clear strategy or direction — only reactive decisions driven by ego and personal bias. Instead of guiding and developing people, leadership often uses blame and intimidation. Constructive feedback is dismissed, and employees are spoken to disrespectfully or looked down upon. Effort from the ground team is rarely recognized, while upper levels take credit when things go well and shift blame when issues arise. Morale remains low because people are afraid to speak up, and talented staff eventually leave.

Pros

Easy work, great co workers

Cons

Too many unnecessary office employees, and management. Driver facing cameras. Childish policies. A lot of brainstorming that mostly revolves around how to blame a driver or how to take money back out of drivers pockets in favor of paying people in the office whose jobs should be consolidated or replaced. They started paying more after Covid because their hand was forced, then the big minds got together and made new policies to take more than half of that money back from the driver and people who work overtime because clearly those people aren’t smart enough to figure that out and will just take it.
