Medifast reviews

The company has grown too quickly. As a result, there is no money for advertising or marketing and you are expected to do it on your own. The corporate office is incompetent and tries to keep afloat by always changing the rules. Prices, guidelines, procedures, and daily practices change without notice or logic. The training is terrible and does not prepare you for when you are actually on the job. There is no quality of life as everyone is expected to be at the workplace every open day and hour from open to close. This company is a confused, uncaring, money-driven nightmare.

*Every employee is forced to work from open to close every day that the centers are open - including every Saturday - even though that is NOT what we were told when we were hired *There are only 2 employees in many of the centers. This means very little time off and very, very long days. *The company offers a lot of PTO, but not much opportunity to use it. *No work-life balance. We all have to work until 7 two nights per week, until 8 one night, and work every Saturday from 8-3. They used to let us alternate opening and closing shifts so no one had to work from open to close, but that changed a couple of months ago. *Inconsistent direction from management - RMs tell you one thing, DMs another. Unprofessional behavior exhibited by RM (condescending, bullying behaviors). *Increasing micro-management, redundant paperwork, constant pressure and nagging to call anyone who asks for information about the Medifast program but does not become a member *No positive feedback from upper management; constant focus on what isn't being done right. Many employees feel like they don't do anything right, as the focus is always on $$$$ and never on how our members are progressing *Centers are not staffed adequately - if one staff member is sick or needs to take time off, many centers are left with only one person working.
