Jenny Craig Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Jenny Craig full-time for more than a year

Pros – The clients are the best part of the company.

Cons – Very poorly managed, high turnover, unwarrented stress, and a glass cieling on income. Corporate weightloss becomes preditory at this level.

Advice to Senior Management – Make it a more valuable job. Loyalty to the clients is the reason consultants stay--not loyalty to the company.

Pros – Building a rapport with a lot of the clients.
Seeing clients get to their goal.

Cons – Pays crappy. Unless you have 90 clients you don't make a whole lot of money.
All about quotas. If a client doesn't buy a full week of food you get in trouble.
Being treated like a four year old.
Major micromanaging.
Being spied on to make sure you are doing your job.
Work every Saturday.
If a client no shows their appointment it is all YOUR fault because you must not have provided them with a "quality consultation."
Listening to people make excuses about why they didn't follow the program.

Advice to Senior Management – Maybe if you stopped treating your employees like children, there wouldn't be such a high turnover at the centre.

Current Employee – been working at Jenny Craig

Pros – -The clients really make the job. I have made some true connections with clients. I have had clients cry on my shoulder and tell me "thank you for helping me achieve this goal"
- Overall, if you have a good client base, you get left alone for the most part.

Cons – - The consultants are cut throat, with commissions so low and the pay terrible, people really get greedy.
- You are micromanaged
- benefits are a joke. you need to maintain 30 hours over a 3 month time frame. If you are at an average of 29 hours, you lose all your full time benefits ( keep in mind, you went down to 29 hours, because your market director demanded your center cut hours, so you have no choice in staying full time from month to month) you don't get paid for holidays when you're full time if you the holiday falls on one of your days off.
- Ive been with the company for over 6 years and never get the chance to move up. Every market director knows who they want to take the spot so interviewing is a joke. I was actually told, I am too beneficial being a consultant, or my center would lose to much money if I moved to a different position.
- you work every saturday.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees! restructure your markets. There is no reason to have 6 floats in a 10 center market.
Corp, open your eyes, you are running a circus and clients are starting to notice.

Pros – The people you work with are great and the customers are great. It is a fantastic work enviroment and the consultants really care.

Cons – The only downside I can think of is that the salary could be a little higher, but it is easy fun work and I can't complain.

Former Employee – worked at Jenny Craig full-time for less than a year

Pros – Some nice clients, being able to help people achieve their goals.

Cons – Management turns a blind eye to all the things going wrong in their centres. Very outdated training and policy's. You are treated like a toddler. Hours and splits are horrible, you are worked like s lave for pennies.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your staff, they have the answers to help your company from falling apart!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Jenny Craig

Pros – The chance to work with different people on a daily basis and help change their lives by losing weight and keeping it off - the program itself is very good and definitely works

Cons – Terrible pay, working every weekend, almost constantly short-staffed, unreasonable expectations regarding quotas, being threatened with your job if you don't make quotas, no internet/email to help or keep in contact with clients, only 2 weeks vacation after having to wait for one year to take them - the list goes on....

Advice to Senior Management – You need a complete overhaul of the way things are done. Way too old-school. First and foremost is look after the employees, pay a way better salary (especially to keep the competent ones around), The consultants are the frontline people (and are the reason clients come in week after week) When a consultant leaves, so do the clients!! Its not only about $$$! Lack of technology sets them way back - give people email and internet access to keep up with the times. That's only the tip of the iceberg!
