Muscle Pharm Corporation (MSLPQ)

[TheExpertHimself]

not only investors are treated like nobodies, look at how employees are treated (notice that the Pros section is a whole lot shorter than the Cons section)

I worked at MusclePharm full-time (more than an year)

Pros
MP has fun people to work with and there is a state of the art gym that can be used at the facility which is fantastic. You get free supplements and come into contact with some cool athletes a few times a year. Not very PC place which makes it feel less corporate, more of a "bro" friendly environment. Taking an extra hour to hang with the owners and play basketball isn't a bad way to break up your day.
Cons
There is a lot of talk about team and succeeding together when in reality it's a few people busting their ass and not getting paid their worth. Always asked for extra time and hours to be put in with no real regard for a life outside of the office. A what have you done for me lately place where your hard work is forgotten quickly. Owners make far more money than they should when in reality they could get 2x as much from employees if they really where a "team" and spread the wealth.
Advice to Management
Pay your people their worth. You don't do this all on your own believe it or not. The company doubled then quadrupled in the money and sales and yet employees saw nothing. When you are going from 10M to 20M to over 70M you should reward the people who helped get you there.

Happy employees normally means happy investors. Companies that treat their employees well, like Washington State champs Starbucks and Costco have outperformed competitors by a mile.
