Pros

- Work life balance is good if your job does not require extensive work - Benefits are good - People are very open and willing to learn

Cons

- Pay is very dependent on your level; staff and below are not paid a decent wage - Management does not value the time and effort that staff put into their work, as pay is pretty low. - Advancement is unlikely due to the company being small and budget cuts

Overworked and Underpaid

Pros

The thought of helping at-risk individuals achieve healthy lifestyle transformation was my initial attraction to this company. The company promotes its 35-year history of helping over a million people achieve healthy weight loss at the recommendation of 20,000 physicians.

Cons

Long hours, low salaries and perpetual pressure to sell overpriced products with no marketing support was a constant. Every meeting involved quotas or projections; the more programs sold, the higher the expectations. In addition to 12-hour workdays, vacations practically didn't exist, and many employees were forced to work second jobs because of near minimum-wages. Corporate employees were clueless about center operations, when making unreasonable and untimely demands. Combined with antiquated computer systems and cumbersome administrative processes, this was a paper-pushing nightmare of corporate greed.
