Jeunesse Employee Reviews
Out of 34 Jeunesse employee reviews, 53% were positive. The remaining 47% were constructive reviews with the goal of helping Jeunesse improve their work culture.
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.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Putting in extra work and long hours gets you nowhere if you're not a brown noser with no shame or related to the owners.
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 do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Work environment is awful. People hate being there.
Stop stabbing each other in the backs. No job is worth that. Especially one that pays as far below market value as Jeunesse does.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Nepotism needs to stop. Inflating profit numbers to placate worried employees needs to stop.
Stop lying about how much money you're making. You're spending it faster than you can make it. Give bonuses for good work, not just to the brown-nosing directors.
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 would you improve about your company's interview process?
More questions about work/life balance would get better candidates in the door.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Too many to count. All of which have been brought up by others and not addressed. No reason to think that will change.
It's all very contrived. The entire MLM idea is nothing but a pyramid scheme. At least market it as such so that people don't lose their life savings attempting (but never achieving) "Diamond" status.
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.
