Assistant Centre Director (Former Employee), Norman, OK – April 20, 2012
Pros: location, knowledge of losing weight.
Cons: poor management.
A typical day at work was stressful. It was hard to get anything done because upper management would breath done your neck quite a bit instead of doing their job. I learned quite a bit about weight management, and also the software they used for day to day functions. The upper management was not good at training, did not address concerns immediately – more... or at all, and played the scape goat game when things were not going well. I was in management and I truly enjoyed my employees. I enjoyed training them, getting to know them, and on all fronts they improved in their skills and were much happier. The hardest part of my job was not being allowed to do my job to the best of my ability. Upper management saw to it to interfere and critique harshly whenever possible and this ruined the happiness of helping people lose weight. The most enjoyable part of my job was helping my employees. If they had a concern or needed training, I helped them immediately. When my employees were happy, our customers were happy. The customers knew something was going on because employees kept leaving. But what I liked about these customers is that they understood how hard my employees and I were trying to make that centre work and help them succeed. – less

TERRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK FOR WITH RIDICULOUS COMMISSION PAY PLAN AND UNATTAINABLE EXPECTATIONS. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. THEY MASK THEIR MISION AS HELPING AND CARING ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS BUT REAL CONCERN IS SELLING AS MUCH OF THEIR OVER-PRICED FOOD AS POSSIBLE WITH ZERO MONITARY REWARD TO EMPLOYEES DOING ALL THE SELLING. CONSTANT CLIENT TURNOVER MOSTLY BECAUSE – more... CLIENTS CANT AFFORD HIGH COST OF THE WEEKLY FOOD. MAJORITY OF CLIENTS NEVER LOSE AMT. OF WEIGHT THEY HOPE TO WHEN THEY START. – less
