Weight Watchers – “Weight Watchers was once a great place to work.”

Pros

The members are so wonderful and rely on your support at their weekly meetings. You get to know your community and be apart of a superior program that works, and helps so many members achieve their health and well being. If you are lucky and get to work with some of the better employees, you are part of a well oiled machine. Otherwise you tolerate the situation or give up the meeting.

Cons

Management examines your retention record. You are responsible to keep every person that joins in your meeting, otherwise you are penalized and can lose meetings. The pay is minimum wage, yet you are expected to work and perform as if you are a salaried employee. The new management procedures do not allow you to work more than 4 hours shifts, so you are forced to do split shifts. There is no compensation for mileage unless you go directly from one meeting to another, which rarely happens. Benefits and full time availability and non existent.

Advice to Senior Management

Millions are made each day on the backs of long term loyal employees, the younger generation is not so loyal.
