Better Being Co.

Nutraceutical / Better Being Company (aka Better Be A Man Company) has the lowest pay with the worst management. They are governed by their board members who gladly boast 45mill sales but say there isn’t enough money to hire instrumental people to accomplish their lofty goals, give mothers maternity leave, and pay their employees a livable (competitive) wage. 

The nepotism at Nutraceutical has created a team of upper management with ZERO knowledge of their industry and/or job, which has also created an extreme micro-managing environment due to their inadequacies. What’s even more frustrating, these same managers refuse to listen and collaborate with their subordinates. However, they have no problem delegating their workload or stacking more tasks (not in your job description) for same pay.  This could largely be due to the majority of Upper management having remote positions even though the company doesn’t allow for all “lower” employees….not even a hybrid model during COVID.

Lastly, HR specifically told me the growth path for the marketing department isn’t clear…they “hope to work on it soon”. This is undoubtedly code for the board has to decide they want to invest more money in their employees versus themselves. 

For a company that proclaims being better for people, they sure don’t care about the wellbeing of their employees. Stay away from this super toxic, dead zone of a company! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Relaxed work environment and good management. My only complaint was that, at least in the lab, there isn't a lot of room for growth and development. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company wanted materials to always be passing and would put a lot of scrutiny on failing materials but none on passing materials. They would eventually back off though with enough failing tests to corroborate initial results. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly good. A little bit of interdepartmental bickering, but the environment within departments was friendly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in, read emails, process the previous day's results, plan out the days samples and research new methods, eat lunch, run new samples on our instruments, monitor initial stages of runs then go home. A few meetings here and there but not to an excessive degree and better than most other companies I've worked for.

By far the worst working experience I've encountered as a graphic designer. They hire people, squeeze everything from them by overloading with a hard work (a lot of which is not part of the job description and responsibilities), then throw them out with no mercy, hire other employees - and do the same with the new one. Extremely high turnover with employees. 

Complaints to Human Resources are non-responsive. Management retaliates with gaslighting and insincere lip service. The work environment is rife with gossip and poor morale.

There's quite a bit of nepotism and cronyism within upper management. They're hired with zero qualifications and are deemed infallible due to their connections with the investment board. 

The so called bonus they offer is based on performance based review which doesn't provide criteria or guidelines to follow. It's all rated arbitrarily by managers who are aloof and have poor leadership ability. 

Better Being keeps getting better and better. Managements has made significant strides to listen to employees and implement things that make sense for the business and the general population. The culture is great and there are so many things the company does for "perks". Not everywhere can you work and also go to a health clinic and be treated for FREE! Love the regular food trucks for $3 lunches. Love the quarterly town hall meetings. I always feel informed of what is going on. We have a cool new app that the company shares regular news and posts on which makes it easier to receive information and know what's going on. I've also never been at a company that preaches and lives their core values like Better Being. 

There is so much nepotism and favoritism that goes on. For example, people will get promoted simply because they have a family member up in the management chain. Promotions are based on who you know rather than merits. Don't show that you are a hard worker because they will take advantage, while allowing others sit on their phones and waste the companies time. Upper management really needs to be looked at but since they're uppers, there never under any scrutiny. The company can simply get their production numbers up if they would let go of all the lazy workers but instead, they hire temps to do the lazy workers jobs.  There's also no communication whatsoever, you are expected to be informed without actually being told what's going on. There is so much potential for this company to be great and earn a lot more money but upper management messes all that up.

Busy and productive.  I liked my colleagues and co workers.  The lab and equipment were state of the art. I love Microbiology and after 16+ years I feel that I am pretty good at what I do.  Most of my day is spent managing the everyday lab processes and trouble shooting complicated sample matrices for testing.  Our group worked closely with other groups to strategize solutions for environmental issues, safety issues, and testing issues.  I learned a lot about management and team building and became a great Microbiologist.  The hardest part of the job is keeping up with daily operations and integrating new technologies but this was also what made my job enjoyable.

Company knows they aren't paying you enough so they get food trucks to come by and occasionally give out free stuff. They are desperate for employees and I was promoted quickly but not properly trained. Once they see what you're willing to do, they take advantage and ask you to do overtime and take on responsibilities of positions they can't fill. The pay isn't terrible but for the barely attainable standards they hold you to, it's not nearly enough. I will say that they are willing to find you any position within the company that you might like in order to get you to stay so if you don't vibe with one spot, you can ask to be put somewhere else.

Stable hours are great. Employee product giveaways and activities every quarter. NOT great place to work if you or a family member have chronic health issues or have any sort of family issue that could interrupt management's idea of a work schedule. They will give you a final write up without a prior verbal or previous written write ups.  They ask you to take on more than than are willing to compensate you for.  And whenever something goes wrong, they blame who ever they can through under the bus, instead of management taking accountability for their mistakes.

I love the fast paced environment and the people I worked with. Leadership and Management are very understanding and care about their associates. The schedule was the same every week which I like a lot as flexible scheduling can be difficult as it would be hard to manage life and family. The job can be physical with heavy lifting, however that is to be expected in this line of work. I quit because I was having some health problems that have now been resolved. I'd love more than anything to have my job back. I would definitely recommend working for Better Being to anyone. Oh and I forgot, the benefits are great and there are plenty of opportunities to learn everyday and grow 

Even if promoted, the small pay increases are not commensurate with increased duties. And by overworked, I mean that the job is unnecessarily complicated by equipment malfunctions, requiring time-consuming fixes which decrease productivity and, thus, incentives. Furthermore, Ogden, Utah is rapidly growing and experiencing high rent and home price inflation, with which Nutraceutical wages have not kept up.
