From the moment I walked in the door I sensed a lack of leadership from the executives running the business. I quickly learned that there had been a fire, ready, aim approach to marketing in the past, so I took steps to change the reactive mentality of marketing to a proactive, planned series of campaigns. I discovered that great products will sell themselves despite unclear plans for generating sales that had been spontaneously conceived and sloppily executed in the past. During my time with the company I managed to unify the marketing by building brand consistency across each touchpoint. Yet, in spite of my taking ownership to increase sales performance, I observed the vice president sabotage projects and undermine my work to serve his ego. I marketed products, increasing revenue without any acknowledgement, but was severely targeted for blame when sales dipped. There is no transparency in the company, even as marketing director I never had access to sales data, so I was unable to provide reporting on ROI or the effectiveness of a campaign strategy. The office requires professional dress and grooming, which I respected, however the culture of the office lacks a warm, friendly, engaged environment. The people are nice, but are under constant surveillance and there is a palpable tension in the air. Although there was an effort made to improve the culture of the company, there remains heaviness in the office. The executive management team is made up of the CEO and two vice presidents, who do not agree on how the business should be run. There is no trust for any employee and little respect from the executive team. This is a family owned business and occasionally familial disagreements or festering childhood resentment surfaces between the executives, to disrupt the workplace. Due to the dis-functional relationship the executives share, I left after 20 months of being targeted by the ego of the vice president, who made it his mission from the time I was hired, to prove he could run the marketing department without the interference of a qualified marketing professional.

As a proud member of the GlyMed Plus team, I am thrilled to share my positive experience working for this exceptional company. Nestled in the heart of the skincare industry, GlyMed Plus not only delivers top-notch products but also fosters a work environment that encourages growth, innovation, and collaboration.

In my role within Operations, I have been met with challenges that have pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. The dynamic nature of the job keeps me engaged and motivated, as I tackle new hurdles with confidence, knowing that I have the support of my colleagues and superiors.

One of the aspects that truly sets GlyMed Plus apart is the autonomy given to employees. Here, creativity is not just encouraged; it's celebrated. Whether it's streamlining processes, optimizing supply chain logistics, or implementing innovative solutions, I have the freedom to explore new ideas and contribute meaningfully to the company's success.

Working at GlyMed Plus has been an enriching and fulfilling experience. I am grateful for the opportunities for growth, the autonomy to innovate, and the supportive environment that encourages me to be the best version of myself. If you're seeking a company that values excellence, fosters creativity, and prioritizes employee well-being, look no further than GlyMed Plus.

You will succeed in this company if you keep your head down and maintain a strictly professional relationship with the management team. Nod your head even if you disagree with their poor planning, ineffective communication, and lack of organizational skills. They do not like to be contradicted, and they are intimidated by employees who are smarter than them. This company has a high turnover rate in nearly all departments because of the trickle-down effect. If you put in a two week notice be prepared to ask to leave that same day.  GlyMed+ is a tiny company for how long it’s been around (34 years). It could be so much bigger and much more successful if the appropriate people were leading teams. 

The company has potential, but leadership is a major concern. Decision-making often feels inconsistent and is not always aligned with best practices or company policies. Communication from the top can be difficult to follow, which makes it challenging for employees to stay on track. In my experience, policies in the handbook were not consistently applied, and that created an environment of uncertainty. Employee retention in HR also appeared to be an issue, and it raised concerns about stability in that department. Ultimately, these factors led me to seek opportunities elsewhere. My current employer has stronger leadership and a more consistent, transparent approach, which I value.

The only plus side of this job is a paycheck, healthcare, and PTO. Management is toxic, unorganized, 0 accountability, 0 communication. They don’t offer parental leave which sucks. It’s impossible to get promoted while new hires make more than senior employees. 

But most of all, I would say Management takes advantage of lower employees. They make them scrounge for resources, do not reward hard work, and dumps last minute projects and demands on them. The “Quarterly Bonuses” don’t come unless you hassle them for them. In Utah there is a culture of spoiling employees and giving them a ton of benefits/resources. If you’re looking for that, this is not the place for you. Be prepared to bust your tail, be ignored and taken advantage of. 

I have worked here for almost a year and have really enjoyed my experience so far. I really appreciate the work culture here. Everyone is encouraging and supportive. Co-workers congratulate you and tell you when you've done a good job. They wish you happy birthday and are delighted to see each other thrive. No toxicity whatsoever. 

I also have to give a shot out to my boss. He has no ego. He really cares about his employees and wants them to love their jobs and feel successful and appreciated. He believes in the company and what it does. He wants to help customers as well as employees.

I am very lucky to work for GlyMed Plus. I recommend this company to anyone looking for a job.

Working here has been a fun and challenging experience. I have grown so much from the feedback and training I have received. There are times when it gets really busy, but I know my manager is there to help. The culture is fun and welcoming. We have parties and events where food is provided. There are always snacks and stuff if I ever forget lunch. 

During my one-on-one with my manager, he asked me why I was still here after 5 years. I said, the company has treated me good. We have company parties, prizes, free snacks, lots of company holidays and pto. We have grown a lot over the last 2 years, which has been steady. Lots of good changes. 

Work load fluctuates. There are daily tasks, and other projects to get done. 
The skin care industry is interesting and applicable. Even without going to an esthetician school you can pick things up. 
Management holds to a good work/home balance. They are understanding and accommodating.
