I'm sorry to hear that your experience working for iHerb was less than great. iHerb takes compensation of its team members seriously and we are very competitive in the market. Since I am not aware of what department you worked in I can't address the politics comment; however, I can address the comment as a whole. Many team members may misconstrued certain changes to their work environment as politically motivated when in fact it is what is in the best interest of iHerb as a company.

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.
