Pros
The company has its priorities in the right places. By putting its people first, it has found ways to achieve unbelievable growth and success. The leaders also manage to find fun in the work they do, which trickles down to the rest of the organization in the form of a culture that unites folks via a universal truth: work isn't work when you're having fun. Career opportunities are abundant at a company that is ranked the second fastest growing company on the planet by Fortune, yet they've managed to avoid promoting people that aren't ready for the position, thus keeping quality in leadership. The organization’s roots as a family company are shown in the flexibility it provides the Medifast teammates. From generous PTO amounts to on-site health screenings, the organization goes the extra step to ensure good work/life balance
Cons
The MLM industry reflects poorly on Medifast despite there being key differences between the organization and other MLM businesses. Medifast has an entirely different incentive vehicle from the rest of the industry, is a public company on the New York Stock Exchange, and Medifast as well as its leaders have been recognized by organizations such as Fortune and the Baltimore Business Journal. I hope people can see the differences that make Medifast unique in the industry.
