Micro managing, constantly from Supervisors needed to tell people when you take lunch or are away from your dashboard for more than 2 hours. Says you can make your own schedule but aren't allowed to have more then 2 hour gaps in between that 7am-7pm window even if you have kids (need to pick them up, etc.) Transparency has gone down (used to know whenever a coach was leaving, now they've just been disappearing) Large disconnect between HQ workers and Remote workers Lots of unnecessary mandatory meetings Encourages coaches to have lunch during meetings or while they work (despite telling their users otherwise) rather than take their 1 hour lunch breaks. There's a large sense of "Compassion Fatigue" in the company. 1:1 Coaches can expect a high of 200-600 users AT A TIME. Group Coaches can expect 20 groups with 30 users in each group (600 users at once) Lack of individual appreciation or acknowledgement with the coaching team growing so fast - barely anyone knows anyone anymore. Some Veteran coaches have power issues and talk down to other coaches if they don't get what they want. This company is still considered a start-up despite being around for more than 8 years now? (maybe 10?) Allows you to join/create other Quest/Guilds in the company but you'd be doing a lot of extra work (research, meetings, etc) for FREE. No extra compensation. You're expected to fit it between coaching hundreds of users, Very small pay raise each year, and even if you get leadership roles, they're still not live-able wages. Most people in the company, even those in HQ have 2-3 jobs.

Lots of low-key creeps and only a dedicated few who puts the extra time & effort in to keep the place running. Manager barely kept tabs with me during my time there while she kept to herself and her social media. Fresh cooked meals on the daily is tasty and appreciated but gets tiring after a while. They say they'll train you and implement a certain protocol for when there exists disparities between a coach and user but they won't. Program and system is structured around archaic literature that's utilized by major bodies (DPP, AHA) that's been publicly utilized in every other medium for decades but we all know it doesn't work. Without the ability to actually prescribe actual eating/fitness routine, the coaches are forced to take a tedious and circuitous route of directing loaded questions at the users in hopes that the users will come across a weight loss solution on their own (a strategy to avoid litigation), leaving coaches with the sole task of being supportive and helping them just bringing the idea into practice. And in doing so, the Coaches get to call themselves "Clinicians". The program is just another remix of a “calorie restriction” program that every other weight loss program uses that also fails to be adaptable to the rapidly growing user demographics who seek to change body compositions while also seeing the numbers on the scale drop. Along with having to handle users from all over the world across various time zones and a weak social/group system that's a sad attempt at something of a Facebook, a 3rd of the paying users will drop out the first few weeks, then another 3rd the following month and so on. Coaches from Korea are stretched thin and burnt out while putting up a front to make it seem like things are great there but we all know the whole place is at the mercy of international investors. A closer look at any research/literature published by the Company's associates will show the subject pool is too small or that the data is inconclusive, proving that whatever last minute resources they reallocated towards their research projects was to no avail.
