Overall, working here was working behind a smokescreen. Prior to the layoffs, the company toted record sales and success. After calling the police, 25% of employees were laidoff with zero severance, which resulted in suicides and homelessness. The founders are greedy.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The company drastically undervalues employees. Until recently, they employed their staff through a "holding company" to shield themselves from legal action relating to employees.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Director-level and down (with exceptions) are well-qualified; however, the executive team exists on greed. The CEO and COO lease the corporate headquarters to themselves in order to make additional money. This contributed to releasing 25% of staff.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The culture is one of fear. The Sr. Director of HR has dinner with the company CEO and COO weekly, and will terminate any employees who speak ill of the executive team, even if it means fabricating cause.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company relied on operations in China, with Greater China accounting for 75% of sales; however, without being licensed to operate in China, crackdowns have led to layoffs. Focusing more on approved, legal operations will allow greater sustainability.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
In August 2019, Jeunesse laid-off 25% of their workforce due to declining China sales. The CEO and COO fled to their multi-million dollar California mansion to avoid seeing employees being released, while requesting a police presence for the layoffs.
