Jenny Craig Review #178 by Nikki CC on March 30th, 2009 at 6:08 PM CDT

I work at one of the Jenny Craig centers. I will say that it is all about the money. I wanted to work at JC to learn more about healthy weightloss because i had lost about 30 pounds on my own and I believed that the environment would be good for me as well as I could be a help to others who've struggled with weight for a long time. Not the case at all. JC requires so much from the consultants (who only make $7.25 per hour+ a ridiculously small commission). Consultants are often times chastised for going off of the scripted conversation that is the required dialogue. Thus the disconnect between client and consultant. The idea of having a consultant to help educate the clients about food and physical activity is a great one. However JC is not delivering. Consultants are encouraged to sell, consistently call clients and sell some more. Consultant turnover is very high due to the misleading salary range that is offered during the hiring process. I would not recommend anyone to join the program. I would discourage anyone who would like to work for the company from doing so. There are hidden fees and payments when joining the program and it ends up being way too expensive. Jenny Craig is a company that does not care about it's employees or clients. Jenny Craig is all about money.

I too was on the Jenny Craig rewards system. I had lost about 30lbs and then had to go out of the country to take care of my mother, at my last appointment, which was in September, (my membership had lapsed in August), my "Counselor" omitted to remind me that my program was up and that I needed to renew at the rate of $39. When I returned from England and went back for my appointment I was informed that my rewards program was gone and that I had to sign up all over again for $99. I now have no discounts and have to start from scratch again paying the ridiculously expensive prices. I spoke to the manager and was told that there was nothing they could do. I was told that my week of food would be $156.00 and with a "giggle" was told "It's a lot more without your discount" I almost strangled her. Go with any other program available, I am very disappointed after being a loyal member of Jenny Rewards Program for a whole year. No Customer Service here.

I too am VERY dissapointed with Jenny Craig. I was getting a 35% discount on their food, but because of an oversight lost the rewards program. Even with the 35% discount the food is very expensive. I spoke to a manager and she wasn't able to help me at all. They told me that I had to join another one of their programs so I had to pay $99 plus the cost of food. This is after I had initially paid $350.00 to get into the rewards program. I'm sure if they wanted to help me they would've at least give me some % off the food, but no, they flat out refused. To say I'm upset is putting it mildly.
