Pros

There are a few people left who are good and caring. The catered lunch is popular. There are some very good products.

Cons

The owner, Dr. Joseph Mercola, has become an erratic and controlling micromanager who fires anyone at any level at will. He is steadily running what was a profitable and growing business into the ground. Revenues have dropped sharply, expenses have skyrocketed (primarily recently hired IT resources). The CEO is a figurehead and has no business background. The culture is toxic. Fear is rampant. Most employees don't last a year.

Pros

Fully remote, good salary, good work life balance

Cons

Everything else. It’s impossible to actually do anything meaningful here because you have no autonomy or control over what you do. All directives from from the founder himself and his ideas are either illegal or impossible to accomplish for a variety of reasons. The CEO does not care about the company.
