Pros

- Enjoyed helping people lose weight - Made great connects with my clients, which will help with networking in the future.

Cons

- Recruiters lie to you about commission, upward mobility potential, weekends you are required to work and holidays during the interview process. - Do not have a standard protocol for conducting performance reviews, thus making it impossible to receive a promotion or pay increase. - Hours for Center Employees were constantly being expanded on weekends without providing extra staff to help cover those hours or compensation for current employees. - Most centers are understaffed requiring extra work for employees as well as limited time off. No balance between life/work. - A lot of clients returned programs due to medical problems they had after eating the food. - Poor HR

Pros

Pretty relaxed work environment. Some employees are really great and fun to work with.

Cons

Everything: The pay, the "commission" (which pretty much doesn't exist), the corporate office is absolutely HORRIBLE. They are completely unprofessional.
