Pros

Benefits and yearly bonuses, free lunch and holiday parties are great. But that is pretty much it.

Cons

Little room to grow professionally, advancements are little, worked at Jarrow for 3+ years, only had 1 raise and it was chump change to be honest, especially when you've worked so hard throughout the years..So I felt the company does not value good employees..Too many rules, HR has enforced a very strict and micromanagement type mentally...constantly making us feel we can't be trusted..First year working here, was a lot more free and relaxing...But however the years to follow, it changed a lot...Maybe because of management or HR..Some employees and managers can be unfriendly, fake and intimidating at times, but there are also a few nice people. There are always a few cliques, and sewing circles which I guess is always typical anywhere..But overall I was unhappy and dreaded working here after the second year..PTO rate was minimal, took away floating holidays....I wish I can give this company a better review, but I cant..

Pros

You can get away with doing minimal work here because the place is so unorganized. If you need a foot into the nutraceutical industry, make this your very last resort.

Cons

Where to start? This "company" is filled with very negative and closed-minded individuals that will stay in one position for the rest of their lives. This "company" does not reflect the ever-so-changing world and is stuck in 1990. They call themselves "Jarrow Family" and that reflects the fact that it's a dysfunctional group of people working there. No sane person would want to be a part of this family. Overall, all the employees are underpaid, besides the upper management, who unfortunately are not trained to do their jobs. This leads to the misdirection of employees and very unproductive ways to perform daily tasks. No growth--at all! There's just no where to go. Upper management is not going anywhere because they would not be able to get those roles at any other "company". I've used quotations around company because this place does not seem like any professional setting I've ever been to. And if you work here, be prepared to listen to the company owner rant and scream about how he hates the current political administration. It will take up a lot of your time. It's an accepted tradition at this "company".

Pros

Free lunch first Wednesday of every month

Cons

This company is stuck in the 1970's, with the lack of competence in every single area of the business. From Sales to Marketing to Operations to HR, there has been no effort by upper-management to evolve, in part because they are not open to the concept, but also because they wouldn't know where to start. Everything--everything--is still done by paper and efforts to supply their employees with equipment and training to make them more productive is met with resistance by upper-management. Your input is not valued here. The CEO himself is unhinged, and being on the receiving end of one of his tantrums with regards to anything business or politics-related is considered a right of passage. It's laughed off by the older employees who have been here for decades and know nothing else outside of this company on how modern businesses actually function. In fact, if it came down to it, they would have a difficult time finding a job elsewhere because their role here has not afforded them actual skills to operate any company at a high level. It's difficult to say this, because I know the job market is difficult, but if you find yourself in a position here, as much as possible, do not stay for long and keep looking. Like myself, many of the employees here come from staffing agencies (that's the only way they're able to find employees because no one would apply here directly) and have already struggled to find work for some time. Otherwise, in such a toxic work environment, your self-worth is at risk, your skillset will atrophy, and you'll end up stuck here. Please, please keep looking.
