Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 6 weeks)
Weight Watchers flags members' records when they are at goal. At a monthly check in I was asked if I would like to apply for a position. I filled out an online application, which included many timed personality questions. A recruiter called me within a week and asked many general questions about my Weight Watchers experience and what my interest was in applying. She then scheduled a face to face interview for the next week. That was more of the same sort of questions. This was right before Thanksgiving and nothing came of it until after the new year when I was invited to a group interview, and by group WW means you will be interviewed by the hiring manager at the same time as other applicants. It isn't a panel interview with you sitting across from multiple managers. I've read that at this point everyone gets hired.
I declined to go to the last interview based on the negative comments I've read here on Glassdoor. I have no need to work; indeed, it would have been a hobby job for me, something a leader in a recent meeting confirmed for me. Weight Watchers apparently prefers very part time employees. Recent changes to the organization are not being received well, either. It does not sound like a happy place to work. I certainly don't want to stand in a mostly empty "store" for an afternoon, hoping someone will come in to be weighed and buy a few products. A popular leader, one who I just started to follow, announced she was being pulled from her best-attended time slot. Employees shouldn't be walking around wondering why things are happening. No thanks.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I was contacted by an HR representative to set up an interview at the their headquarters in the city. The interview consisted of two directors interviewing me asking pretty standard questions about my resume. I was contacted later that day to set up a phone interview which walked me through the job. I offered the position later in the day.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
After becoming a gold member of weightwatchers, my own leader approached me and asked if I had ever considered becoming a leader. I applied online at the weightwatchers recruitment website. I was then contacted via telephone for a telephone screening/interview. After sucessful screening, I was invited to a 3 hour assessment centre, where I had to do a motivational and inspirational presentation, a formal interview and a scenario skills test.
Everyone in the assessment centre were very friendly, approachable and encouraging.
I think, as long as you can prove that you are motivated, friendly and hard working you will get on fine. Confidence and an ability to speak in a crowd, and keep them interested is a must. You must also show that you have a genuine care for people and their goals.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Lacey, WA (took a day)
The hiring manager was friendly and eager over the phone. I came in, overqualified for the job and clear about the position, but unfortunately in this situation am 5'8" and slender/fit. I understand that they want someone who can relate to what their clients are going through, but I have a strong background in social services and behavioral health.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
Attended an open/group interview, then was invited to a 1-to-1 interview two days later. I was referred by a current Weight Watchers employee (leader). I had been a member of WW for two years, losing 74 pounds.
I was offered a job at the second interview with the Territory Manager. They are most interested in upbeat personalities, those who understand the WW philosophy, those who are personable, and those with flexible schedules. In NYC most WW reception work is around the lunch hours 11-2. All employees have been
successful WW members, so most are highly motivated and enthusiastic. Most enjoy careers/jobs helping others. Reception is low pay. So it is a decent job for a retiree or someone selfemployed or looking for part-time. Health benefits are excellent for "full timers" Full time is 27.5 WW hours per week.

Negotiation Details
No. Pay rates are formulaic and standard to all.
