Horrible work environment. Very dishonest atmosphere

Pros

It was nice to see people lose weight

Cons

The focus was completely taken off weight loss and placed on dollars spent. If you want to be a telemarketer and perform robotic work, then this job may be for you. If you really sincerely want to be honest and help people run far, far away.

The worst company/job ever.

Pros

It's a paycheck, nothing more, no one there cares about the employees or the clients.

Cons

Upper management is clueless, they are not from the weight management industry and don't understand it. They threaten, intimidate and mistreat employees. There is such as "desperate" desire for success they swing through the air grabbing at anything that they believe will make them money. They have no direction, no communication and NO accountability coming out of Owings Mills, it's all about who your buddies and family are. There is zero integrity, no respect and no appreciation at all. Worst place I've ever working in my life.

It’s always difficult to hear things like this, and we hope that, while you were at Medifast, you brought any concerns that you had to your manager and HR.

Pros

Sundays off and helping others be optimistic to lose weight

Cons

Very retail. Became more interested in clients buying food then their weight loss success. The counselors had no clue on how to motivate. They just read pamphlet's and kept very black and white.
