Pros

Supporting and getting to know so many amazing clients!

Cons

LOTS but to name a few: -Always about the "sale" and never about the client or the employee. -Unbelievably high amount of employee turnover. -Management team at franchise office is fake, dishonest and ruthless - all in the name of money! -No work/life balance. -Split shifts and extended 2-3 hour lunches. -Questionable sales tactics and program and food costs are outrageous. RUN - this is not a company you want to work for.

Pros

The benefits are a plus and are even offered to P/T workers

Cons

They have recently franchised a lot of the centers (all of Texas-that they decided to keep open) to a company in Mexico. The "commission" everyone speaks of has been revamped and basically cut in half for all F/T workers. When hired, I was told the products, "sell themselves", but now I spend most of my days making cold calls to people who no longer visit the center. Member visits have dropped due to lack of advertising (they went black for the month of October) and lack of "special offers". They expect the employees to compensate for this by making calls to expired and inactive members

Pros

Work hours, minimal overtime, holiday celebrations opportunity to meet others with similar concerns. Encourages healthy eating so the employees don't become the future customers.

Cons

Very much still a company full of nepotism with senior managers who haven't a clue about the weight loss industry, nor how expensive the product is. Too many employee turn-overs. Deluded into thinking that the product can be sold worldwide, much less in second world countries to the south and countries with populations smaller than California to the north.
