Pros

I've worked for Medifast for 2.5 years. Since that time I have rapidly assumed responsibility from my initial role and increased my compensation. I love the team I work with. There is a good work-life balance here. I'm 11 years out of college and have worked a number of different companies and this is by far the best work/life balance. When I tell people how much PTO I have (currently 4 weeks) they are amazed, since that is unusual for an American company. It makes me want to work harder because of how lucky I feel that I can take time off. I can also say that people treat each other with more respect here than I have observed at other companies - less office politics, more about getting results.

Cons

The organization is still figuring out it's approach to channel conflict - TSFL, Med Direct, Weight Control Centers, etc. I am confident it will find out a solution eventually, but these are not simple waters to navigate.

Pros

Business is growing. Adding more text to meet the five word minimum.

Cons

Everything else. Many departments are severely understaffed. Pay is well below the national average. There have been no cost-of-living increases in 6+ years. 'Merit increases' capped for everyone at 3% even though the company made a huge profit in 2017. Since the current CEO came on in October 2016, the company has eliminated all women and all but one person of color from executive leadership positions. The CEO himself is Problematic with a capital P. The general consensus is that you don't matter beyond the dollar signs you represent, especially if you are a woman or any kind of minority.
