A Typical Day : 
you work alone for the entire day- the Centre has  2 days split shifts, work morning till 12 come back at 4. You shoulder all responsibility, conducting consults, while phone rings,booking appointments, recording on a paper file clients week and menu all while more clients may walk in. Packing up all menu items and filling freezer room.
One day a week heavy frozen stock comes in, you are also performing alone. You can not give good service.
 You are to make all the client calls, basic telemarketing at times.
I learned how to multitask like it's no ones business, due to no other employee on shift when you are
 Upper management is in another Province, but give no support or training, they hire no support. They expect numbers and response to emails ASAP- but turn a blind eye to how over exerted busy being alone is at the centre level  
Workplace culture has no balance - disorganized,Senior management will destroy your passion for service by over working you at every angle. Making promises they do not keep.
 Hardest part of this job is working completely alone and doing the job of 3 people and Senior management has impaired empathy.
The most enjoyable part is supporting clients get healthy

The center I worked at has a flaky manager that just loves to tear employees a new one for minor things. Often times the manager herself will not follow rules set in place but will punish others for small issues. One girl was written up for being 2 minutes late and then reprimanded in front of clients. Extremely unprofessional. 

There is also the case of "clients come first", however clients have waited almost 15 minutes (The length of a consultation) because the manager wanted to go over sales with the consultant. 

People there openly talk about clients personal issues and sometimes even swear in front of clients. One of the consultants was talking about having "alone time" with her boyfriend in the front lobby. 

You are rarely given recognition for any hard work and when you do its followed by everything else you supposedly did wrong. 

The Vice president is a strange one. She will seem like a lovely women and she means well, but when she gave us a "motivation" session, she was completely degrading and picking on individuals in the room.

The place runs almost entirely on pushing sales. Forget changing lives and empathy, there is only ONE consultant I know focused on it. 

One consultant has admitted to me that she hates her job and her clients and only cares for commission. Her clients LOVE her and bring her gifts and cards all the time and thank her for changing their lives. Its heartless. 

I believe this center could be a wonderful place, but the people there are unprofessional and obviously do not care beyond making commission.

I would never work for this company again, for many reasons... it is not a family oriented business, the scheduling includes: mandatory Saturday shift, mandatory split shift, mandatory close shifts. This does not work if you have children in day care. Management is unapproachable, they expect you to always be there no matter what even if you are sick, the way the commission is set up it is next to impossible to reach- it should be designed for your FDA based on how many clients you have but it is based on a number that does not work if you do not have a full colum of clients. They do not genuinely care about the clientele, it is all about the money for them. Be prepared to be more of a telemarketer than anything else as cold calling makes up for the majority of your time. Lastly it is always your fault if your clients do not loose weight, management places all blame on the consultants and not the clients. I was a great consultant, my clients loved me, bought a full menu, and they lost weight. Still I was treated poorly and am very happy to be out of there.

The ladies were very friendly and helpful while the manager was away, which was most of the time. My first shift I was left alone to close and in my entire term of employment I never worked on shift with either another employee or the manager. I was instructed to call women to advertise and answer calls from women wishing to join the gym but told explicitly not to tell any of those women what the average monthly fee was. The quiet atmosphere was nice but the lack of management made it a very high stress job. During my three months three other girls quit, my paycheck bounced and my manager yelled at me for not being available three days a week during school. Despite the disappointment from the walnut grove location I heard lovely things from the ladies abut other curves locations, most notably the Langley location which could have at any given time three or up to six people on shift nearly always including the manager.

I worked as a consultant and assisted the manager with her duties on the busy days or when she was away. There was a lot of opportunity to learn, but it would be touch to move up in the company by position. The better the food and product sales, the better the pay cheque. They have a decent compensation system and they are making a difference in people's lives by offering help for them to lose weight and life a healthy lifestyle. I was on the program when I began working for them and lost 50 pounds alongside the clients I worked with. It was motivating and life changing. I definitely recommend this job and the program if you have the opportunity to try it out!

Very stressful job. At the end of the day it’s about sales and making as much money as possible for very little pay off in return. You work until done and even if you have lots of vacay days they will only let you take so much time off in a row. If you are sick for more than 1 day in a row they will only use 1 sick day at a time so be prepared to not get paid while sick at home or waste your vacay days to lay sick in bed. Work life balance is very off. Higher up positions don’t seem to help those in lower positions as much as they say. The job description is not accurate. There are plenty of tasks that end up being pushed onto you with very little support from the manager. 

If you love being micromanaged and having the Centre Director breathe down your neck, then this is the place for you. If you aren't with a client, you are expected to be phoning and harassing clients who haven't been in the centre for a while. I had a client whose mom died and I was told to call her every day.
Salary is commission based on food sales so other consultants try stealing your clients. 
They are all about numbers. You are given a quota of what to sell a month in food. Then you get in trouble if you don't meet that quota.
Very catty atmosphere. 
Hours suck. You have to work two evenings a week and one split shift a week and you have to work Saturday. 
This place is a joke.

The managers i had during my 6 years, helped to make my experience a positive one. And because we had good managers we had a great team. Learned a lot and met many wonderful people. However, corporate consistently verbalized how the Weight Loss Consultants were the "corner stone" of the company and how important we were. Unfortunately our salary and compensation plan didn't reflect are said value.

Meeting with clients on 15 minute intervals, anywhere from 40-60 clients a day. During that time would have to motivate the client and set up their work week along with any challenges they may face. I've learn from this job on how to properly talk to clients using open ended questions and dialogues.  As well I've learn many customer service skills and multi tasking. Seeing the clients was the best part of the job but unfortunately the management was a different story. I'm looking forward to working with a better team

I worked here for 2 years, in my eyes it is a poorly ran business that will not succeed. The employees are not treated well, and the marketing for Jenny Craig is not doing well. Clientele is going down hill, which means less money for Jenny and less in your pocket. Many of the policies and procedures need to be updated. Many of the Clients commented that they felt they were being harassed by the company. This is not a good look Jenny. 
Ps. food is WAY too expensive, your better off learning how to portion size and eat healthy than buy their food.
