Former Employee – worked at Jenny Craig full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – If you work hard the paycheques are great.
Cons – Getting time off is like pulling teeth, company does not care about employees, movement upwards within the company is difficult after a certain point, the position is incredibly high stress expect to work way more than the 38.5 hours a week you're told you'll be working. Everything is scripted. Management has no idea what they are doing. High staff turnover.
Advice to Senior Management – If you want to keep staff around who are good at their job, treat them with more respect and don't burn them out in the first 3 years.

Current Employee – been working at Jenny Craig full-time
Pros – Supporting clients with their health and fitness goals. Consultants do a great job of running the centre without supervision.
Cons – Management has done a great job of creating a hostile and abusive work environment. Isn't it supposed to be about helping the client? Instead employees' time is spent listening to management's dysfunctional private life and then being disciplined for not completing paperwork. Also, there's not much support for the male clients. Compensation is low.
Advice to Senior Management – Wait, isn't this why you're paid the big bucks?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
