O.K. Here's a funny story. I worked for Jenny Craig for a year. I loved my clients. I took the time to listen to them and work with them. I totally understand everyone's frustration with this program. I was frustrated also. My hands were tied by a 15 minute window of time to work with them. The disorganization resulted in many mix ups with client files and histories. I was pressured into selling products that they did not want or need. I was told that we would have extensive training and was put through a 5 day period at the beginning where we were given a basic outline of what was expected and we roll played with other "newbies". Many questions were left unanswered. My director was a joke. She was rude to clients and talked about them behind their backs during weekly staff meetings. The girls who worked with me were actually stoned half of the time. Total pot heads! As long as they bring in the money they continue to work. I quit because of the hypocrisy. I seriously miss my clients and hope they are all doing well.

I had a really unpleasant experience with one of the counselors. I was scheduled to go in on a Wednesday to start my program, but rescheduled for Thursday because it was my son's first birthday and I wanted to set that day aside for him because it was special to the whole family. When I told the counselor about the date change and why I was changing it... she said, "Sure, you just HAVE to get in that last piece of cake before you come in, don't you?" I was appalled!! I've never been talked to like that before, and it just made me feel even worse about myself. It had nothing to do with the cake, but she made it seem like it did. Needless to say, I canceled my appointment completely.

I agree with these reviews and feel it is a scam that our Jenny Craig reps are not reminding us of our renewal date. I lost my 30% discount because they never bothered to remind me of the renewal date. I told the director that it was not my job it was their's to notify me. It seems my consultant wrote a note that she spoke to me on 3/19/09 but that never happened I was there on the 13th and she never said a thing. I wrote to the corporate office and complained. I am a disabled person and rely on the food to assist me. NOTHING I said mattered to the director of the centre so I walked out certain another company would love my business. She thought I would pay the $99 and start as a beginner without any discount after 4 yrs. of being a loyal customer.... I DON'T THINK SO. So ladies walk away from this place and don't waste your energy on them because they do not care!
