A Company That Lost Its Way - Clinic Manager Options Medical Weight Loss Employee Review

I worked at Options Medical Weight Loss, and while it once had potential, it has become entirely too sales-driven and mismanaged. The focus is no longer on patient care or employee well-being—it’s all about hitting unrealistic sales numbers, and if you don’t, you’re either pressured with scare tactics or cut loose. Medical exams? Barely 10 minutes long. This is terrible for patient care because it doesn’t allow enough time to properly assess a patient’s medical history, address their concerns, or create a truly personalized plan. Weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all, but these rushed appointments make it feel that way. Patients deserve more than a quick in-and-out visit that prioritizes sales over real health outcomes. The food they push might help with weight loss, but it’s not necessarily the healthiest. And don’t expect stability—the company constantly rolls out changes without employee feedback, only to backtrack when their “brilliant” ideas fail and negatively impact both patients and staff. The work environment is incredibly clique-based, with clear favoritism at every level. If you’re not part of the inner circle, don’t expect to advance—no matter how hard you work. There’s also a noticeable lack of diversity, especially in corporate. Hiring practices make it clear that there is little to no effort to bring in people of color, and there’s an unspoken but obvious bias that creates an unwelcoming atmosphere for minorities. The commission structure is changed frequently, and never in a way that benefits employees. Clinic managers are forced to work overtime without additional pay, and corporate support is nearly nonexistent—you’re on your own when problems arise. They’ve slashed the marketing budget, pushing that responsibility onto already overworked managers. As a result, consultations have dropped significantly, but leadership still wonders why sales are down. Instead of fixing existing problems, they continue pouring money into opening new clinics while current ones struggle. The greed has become undeniable—mass layoffs, canceled holiday parties (“not in the budget”), and a complete disregard for employee morale. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for instability, favoritism, unrealistic expectations, and little to no support. They used to care about their employees, but now it’s all about money. Proceed with caution.
