Pros

The only pro about Maximized Living is the genuine love that the chiropractic clinics who sign up to be part of Maximized Living have for helping people. Unfortunately, many of these clinics have no idea what a mess the corporate office is and follow Maximized Living blindly even though the focus of ML isn't about saving lives... but about turning a profit.

Cons

The two founders of the company absolutely DO NOT get along. They both have completely different visions for success and their "goals" for management and the overall company is unattainable. The company has gone through three different CEO's in the last three years. (So if that doesn't speak volumes on lack of sustainability and poor culture... I don't know what does.) The latest CEO they hired is one of the most difficult people I have ever worked with. His leadership style is based on fear, racist comments, condescending conversations and abuse. I have no idea how he has gotten away with half the things he has said or done over the last year... but I guess it pays to be "on the board" and CEO. Many of the people who work at Maximized Living corporate feel strongly about living a healthy lifestyle... the problem is though that the corporate environment is so toxic it is impossible to have any sort of balance. With the founders who constantly fight in front of employees, poor leadership, serious reputation problems (just google Maximized Living... you will see for yourself all the scam claims,) cash flow issues, scared employees who worry about losing their jobs daily and the horrific culture (I could go on and on) this is a place YOU DO NOT WANT TO WORK AT. Bottom line, STAY AWAY from working here. I promise you will thank yourself for reading this review and staying clear from this company who is in a serious company crisis.

Pros

You get to learn some great things about what real health is. And...nope. That's it.

Cons

Where to begin...the office I worked at in Indiana was run by 2 doctors that put on a wildly happy face for patients and turned around to give us their disapproval, negative feedback, constant criticism, and overall air of indifference to our hard work. I love living a healthy life. Lift those weights, keep your body healthy, be conscious of what you put in and on your body...but in the handbook it actually said for sick time that you have the tools in the office to stay healthy so you should not really need it. Good. News. They found all the cures. Can you say "jack pot?" Or smile and let the word "fraudulent" run through your head over and over. They intimidate their staff to get patients. They intimidate their patients to continue care. They intimidate their prospects to become patients. And the seminars? You know Jim Jones? If I ever wondered to myself, "I wonder what it would be like to suddenly find yourself inside of a cult", I had to wonder no more. The most successful offices had 1,000 patients (bec success is measured by how many patients you can spend less than 3 min with weekly). They all look and talk and dress exactly the same...it's bizarre. Oh and if you like working 7 days a week from 7-9 moms-Friday and all your weekends being dictated by a job you get paid $11/ hour for, then by golly this is the job for you. Also, no overtime. To be clear: you work overtime but you don't get paid overtime. They get away with it by giving you per patient "bonus" which always ends up being less than overtime rate pay. There's so much more...

Pros

Travel to Florida or Colorado for training was fun when it could be afforded by the practitioner. Free chiropractic care for you and your spouse and/or children. Discounts on supplements. Overall positive health values that you extended to your well-being as well as the patients. Depending on the clinic, your job duties will line up with your interests. For example, marketing tasks or patient nutrition consultations. It really is satisfying when you see a patient that has a very positive experience whether it is getting out of pain, losing weight, getting off medications, or eating better. I loved the patients and that is the number one reason I came to work every day!

Cons

The revenue goal bonuses at the clinic I worked at were out of reach for me for over a year and during that time, I received a $1.00 raise per hour. I started at $10.00 and ended at $12.00 an hour during the two years I was employed. The ML clinics have long hours and require weekend work frequently. There is often no work/life balance for the rate of pay and the amount of work you are tasked with. Another con are the split shifts (Example, Mon 8a-10a and 3p-5p). No benefits, retirement, etc. And, lastly, little room to deviate from the 'scripts' that the corporate office wanted you to use on a daily basis when interacting with patients during the different stages of their care. It could become very mundane and sometimes, even, an insult to one's intelligence.
