Pros

Above average PTO and perks; free products in pantry, onsite gym, subsidized cafeteria, company sponsored events, good 401K, ok health plans, company anniversary celebrations, discounted product to purchase, monthly birthday celebrations. If you are buddy-buddy with your boss you can get far. Advancements and promotions are based purely on appearances and how good you are at brown nosing, not the quality or quantity of your work. If your work ethic is poor, you lack basic skills and have no relevant experience but you are great at schmoozing and kissing butt this is the place for you!

Cons

Promotions are dished out on completely frivolous reasons and empty “achievements” and are only based on your relationship with your superior. Ex. The superior has a handful of favorites, only they receive additional training or additional ‘responsibilities’ that lead to promotions, this it true across every department, not just the one I worked at. Pervasive racial bias so blatant and obvious it is essentially illegal discrimination and racism, exp: An Asian higher up for 2 years only hired and promotes employees of Asian descent, a Filipino higher up hired 5 out of 5 Filipinos to her group, an Indian only promoted those who are Indian, this pattern persists across all departments, HR is either complacent or completely asleep at the wheel. If you try to advance or move departments your direct management will retaliate against you by denying any future promotions and scheme behind your back to make sure you can’t move, your only available option is to leave the company.

Pros

The group that I joined was small but everyone was great to work with. My manager was also great to communicate with when I had questions. Great experience overall.

Cons

Really nothing much from my experience.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with the team at Herbalife. The people were highly collaborative, intellectually strong, and genuinely positive to work with. We worked on challenging projects involving advanced technology, and I felt the company had strong leadership, solid resources, and clear direction. Compared to some of my previous experiences, it stood out as a very healthy and growth-oriented environment.

Cons

One area where I think Herbalife could evolve further is around remote-first flexibility. Given how international and cross-functional the organization is, I think there’s strong value in supporting a more flexible hybrid model. Certain types of collaboration absolutely benefit from in-person interaction, and the company has an impressive headquarters and office environment. At the same time, many workflows are already highly digital and meeting-driven, so enabling more remote flexibility could improve efficiency, accessibility, and work-life balance without sacrificing collaboration.
