Merical, LLC

Your co-workers in Utah were the best part of going to work everyday. Everyone cared about their roles and worked hard to deliver quality and on-time results. Some had been part of the workforce for decades, but were quickly removed from their roles when the California company reduced the workforce by more than 50% at the beginning of the year. They removed most of their long-term staff (high salaries), and kept those who were under-paid and lacking knowledge/work experience.

This place never had a reduction in workforce before I was hired (the company had a different name as well). But since California's Merical purchased the previous manufacturing site and staff--the new management seemed to lack scientific efficacy and understanding. California's HR policies caused tremendous turmoil within Utah's manufacturing division--with the inability to retain quality staff their manufacturing division suffered the consequences.

MeriCal, LLC is developing into a large manufacturing company for nutraceutical supplements.  From its beginning as a small custom packaging and distributing operation, MeriCal eventually developed into one of the dietary supplement industry’s leading formulation and custom packaging specialists.MeriCal is expert in the manufacturing of tablets, capsules and powders as well as endless packaging capabilities.

No two days are alike as MeriCal offers custom solutions for its customers.  One day you are on the manufacturing floor checking production batches and another day in meetings developing formulas for existing customers or potential clients.

The hardest part is not being able to go home until you have completed assignments and end up working up to 13 hours a day.

It is enjoyable to see the life cycle of a product from raw material stage to a bottled product.

Worse company to work for. Management has no clue of what they are doing. They do not follow GMPs. If you try to do the right thing they dislike you and will fire you. They have no control of inventory. They mix allergens with non allergens without a care for consumers. HR is only there for the company not the employees. If you report any problems they will get rid of you. Everyone is always on the phone in the production rooms. They have a bunch of employees that act like a mafia. If they get a new member that knows how to do thinks the right way. They will make up rumors and complaints about that employee until they get rid of them. It is just a terrible company to work for.

I've had an opportunity to work at other nutraceutical companies and Merical has been a standout. The teams work together to meet our customers needs, and as you can expect it gets challenging, however there is tremendous support from the management and executive leadership.  Several of the team leaders have been promoted from within so if you apply yourself, there can be opportunities. The company also puts resources toward it's employees by providing training and skills development. Merical offers a full benefits package so overall I've been happy to be here and I'm excited about the future company growth.

At the beginning. It had lots of opetunities as the time passed by they talk bunch of false promises and no support from supervisor or manager they are big 100% favoritism with some people .. and people that actually work and dedicate time to learn and do something for this company…. They reward them with warnings and laid off …  no respect for people at this company .. that’s only for manufacturing…. Now packaging is another story … people at packaging they take over the leads and managers lame no CULTURE … stay away from this company

MeriCal was recently bought by an investment company.  Linden LLC prior to the buyout MeriCal was a wonderful place to work.  Since the buyout it has become a cut throat operation.  Many long time employees were let go for no substantial reason.  There is no feeling of job security.

The foundation this company is built on is crumbling. I saw it everyday. The management team is incompetent and hold no educational background to support the departments they are leading. 

Health and quality violations at every corner, the human  resources department is only there to keep pushing the papers, they are no help. The management team focuses on numbers and disregard quality, safety and employees.

Being hired at Merical to start up the new gummy line as a operator has been a great experience the overall management staff very pleasant making the transition smooth,The company is very diverse I really enjoy the team that I’m on.This company takes COVID safety very serious that’s something I appreciate.I’m very grateful  to have been chosen to joined.
