USANA Health Sciences develops and provides the highest-quality science-based health products, distributed internationally through network marketing, creating a rewarding financial opportunity for our independent associates, shareholders, and employees. Founded in 1992, USANA is now one of America’s leading companies in the field of health and nutrition and helps improve the lives of thousands of people around the world by helping them achieve true health and financial stability.

COMPANY CULTURE
USANA’s core values are integrity, excellence, health, and community. USANA employees demonstrate these values every day in an effort to promote a positive working environment. USANA employees love the creative freedom that is promoted in so many different departments of the corporate office.

EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AND AWARDS
Employees receive generous profit-sharing bonuses annually that are based on the sales and profitability of USANA. This program has allowed employees to earn an average of more than 13 percent of their base pay. All employees are eligible. With our manager “Good Employee” incentive program, if managers want to recognize an employee, they can have an allotted amount of money go onto the employee’s paycheck, or provide tickets to sporting events, movies, or other forms of entertainment, or gift cards. Once a year, USANA holds an on-site lunch to thank employees for their hard work during the company’s busiest time of the year (hosting our annual International Convention). The event is elegant and catered, and features highlights of employees at the convention. Each employee also receives a thank-you gift.

FITNESS BENEFITS
We have a locker room, showers, and a gym that includes stationary bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills, boxing bag, free weights, strength-training machines, floor mats, exercise balls, resistance bands, and ball weights. We also have a full-size basketball court. Group fitness classes include the boot-camp-style USANAFit, the principal strength-and-conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, plus elite and professional athletes worldwide. We also offer Zumba, which fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves, and yoga. Once a week, USANA has a massage therapist on-site to work on employees for a free 15-minute seated massage. USANA is equipped with an outside volleyball court for fun summer Fridays. USANA also offers many outdoor activities to employees, including a running club that meets weekly and quarterly 5K races that recognize runners and walkers (both experienced and new). Employees have also organized company intramural teams including soccer and softball. Departments regularly golf at the course located across the street from USANA headquarters.
