Nature's Sunshine Products Work Values

Daily Duties at Nature's Sunshine Products:

Developed, validated, and trained four laboratory members in microbial testing protocols meeting the requirements of US Pharmacopeia, FDA, and 30 foreign governments. Initiated the investigation of a microbial contamination in four liquid products. Investigations prompted collaborative work with manufacturing to improve product quality by implementing novel cleaning and production-line maintenance during product development, saving the company over $20,000/month and reducing laboratory rework by 25%. Designed specific microbial testing methods for chemical based products that reacted with current reagents giving false positives. Initiatives improved productivity by decreasing product retesting by 20%.

What they like about Nature's Sunshine Products:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
