Pros

Competitive benefit packages and salaries Disconts in product and merchandise and other perks Discretionary work from home Onsite gym and health training opportunities

Cons

Cronyism and favoritism at its finest! Top heavy organization with a minimal number of personnel at the workforce level Limited upward mobility; hiring from within is never an option Poor management practices drive away talent, encourage micromanagement and increase workload Poor internal communications; serious email and meetings dependency Bureaucratic, no work-life balance at the workforce level Inefficient training; most staff have to learn by trial and error “This is the way we’ve always done it” attitude High turnover rate due to disproportionate numbers of contractors vs. regular staff

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.
