Pros

A free gym is the only pro and I would spend as much time as I could there to work off all the frustration of working for Medifast.

Cons

Where to start... Exec management is terrible and all part of the same family. If you are not family or a friend of the family you will never make it anywhere at this company. Your job is never safe and you could be laid off at any second. You have to follow whatever crazy policy the family decides to put in the handbook that day. There is no constituency with anything. They will work you to death and you will never even receive a thank you. The benefits and 401K are terrible because the family that runs Medifast does not care about their employees. The family only cares about putting money in their pocket.

Pros

Only 2- creating connections with members, and my coworkers.

Cons

Incompetent management at all levels. Complete disconnect between coprporate office and centers. Corporate has no idea what goes on in-center. Entire focus is on money and not on helping people lose weight as they claim. Recruiters and management lie about position duties and growth potential; there is none, unless you want to be a center manager. The redundancy of reports is ridiculous. Corporate decisions are usually illogical, slow to be communicated if at all, and employee feedback is ignored. They can't even make up their mind about the hours of operation. The amount of phone calls management forces employees to make to members borders on harassment and if a member states he/she no longer wants to be contacted, employees are told to ignore them and keep calling.
