Rewarding environment but challenging at times
Service Provider/Mentor (Current Employee), CT – April 15, 2013
Pros: products are 1/2 price, positive vibes, great benefits, flexible work schedule
Cons: short shifts, but can work a long day from one location to another location, the compensation is very low, hard to survive on this to pay bills.
I thoroughly enjoy working for Weight Watchers as it empowers the members to believe in themselves. Overall, it is an enjoyable job and very rewarding to help members with their journey. However, the job can be challenging at times with poor communication.

nice place to work
Receptionist (Former Employee), Yuba City, CA – January 30, 2013
I would assist members with questions, weigh ins and sale products. I would also complete the proper paperwork for new memberships. At the end of the day, I would balance my cash drawer and send accounting paperwork to the corporate office. There were no computers or registers - everything was done by hand.
I learned how to do a paper talley (accounting – more... by hand). I learned alot about the company as I would attend regular meetings and training to stay up to date on issues.
Our territory manager was wonderful. She was professional and kind.
My co-workers were a great team. Everyone helped each other.
The hardest part of the job was not having a computer system. However, it was a good learning experience and I accepted the challenge with a positive and upbeat attitude.
The most enjoyable part of the job was being an encouragement to others and cheering them on with their weight loss journey. – less

extra comfortable work place large lounge with 55' flat screens on the wall
Computer Technician (Former Employee), New York , NY – January 4, 2013
Pros: always something new to learn
Cons: weight watchers laid off 900 employees in 2009, i just so happen to be one of them.
Helping the end user is the main focus when working IT/help desk.
Resolving computer issues over the phone while logged in remotely doing this as quickly as possible is your goal. I was what they called "The All Around Guy" since i was in charge of all hardware and i also worked on software, when on my field calls i was mainly networking.

Love meeting people with the same goal I had
Receptionist (Current Employee), Maple Ridge, BC – January 17, 2013
Pros: 50% off products and not paying for weighing in
Cons: having to get everything out and then away again.
Setting up the products to be sold, also setting up your weighing station.
I've learned how to do a tally, write out receipts and to do a float.
I love the women that I work with, always so cheerful and happy to be there as I am.
The hardest part would have to be filling out the tally and making sure it's right.
The most enjoyable part is being with – more... others and watching them succeed at their own goals. – less

Team member (Current Employee), Geelong – November 22, 2012
Pros: continally meeting different people
Cons: changing venues and work hours vary and are interesting
A typical day is meeting many people from different walks of life and dealing with them in a personal situation. I learn that courtesy and respect and interest in these clients creates a comfortable situation. I enjoy working with a like minded team over an age range. The hardest part of the job is to convince potential clients of the benefits of the – more... program in the long term and that changes happen slowly.
I enjoy the company of these people and that fact that we share a common interest in weight loss and health. – less
