Bodybuilding.com reviews

Poor pay with no opportunity for merit raises (I have gone the last 2 years as a top performer without a raise and even got a promotion in that time range). No communication, trust or transparency from the C level folks. If you're lucky, you'll see them once or twice a year after major layoffs for a pep talk only to spend the next couple quarters wondering if you're next. I'd only use this company as a temporary job until you find something better, I dodged layoffs for several years but most of my friends have not been that fortunate.

This isn't a very stable place. A year ago they hired A LOT of new people. Six months later they had mass layoffs, which included laying off many of the people they had just hired. Individuals who had relocated and/or left previous employers were suddenly left jobless. Over the past year, many in the company were jumping ship and taking jobs elsewhere. Those positions weren't backfilled (not a great sign). Even worse, the company kept job listings open, solicited applications, and even interviewed candidates. But they weren't necessarily hiring anyone. That's pretty disrespectful to qualified applicants who waste their time applying. It also suggests executives might not be sure where the company is supposed to be going. Hire, fire, hire, fire, interview, don't hire...yikes! The “management” aspect is bizarre. There are just soooo many managers…a ton of managers. After one of the seemingly perpetual reorganizations, my department had 13 people in it but 7 managers. What is that? Literally a manager who managed a manager who managed no-one. And, for all those managers, there’s not a whole lot of actual managing going on. No real discussions about career development, reviews (when they did happen) were mostly just box-checking, never witnessed a manager asking their team for ideas or feedback, etc. Pay is not great. They don't do an annual cost-of-living pay increase. No built-in structures to discuss raises. Even if you're a super star the chance of getting a raise is next to none. Bottom line…don’t leave your job to work here. Definitely DON'T RELOCATE! If you’re already in Boise, you just need a job, and you’re not super concerned with growing your career this would be an option.
