Cecelia Health

Best RD job I have ever had.  Before CH I worked at a series of academic med centers and a rehab hospital. This job is very chill and SUPER FLEXIBLE with my work hours so I can spend a ton of time with my kids.  My managers have been competent, complementary, and supportive of my feedback/input (unlike all the other RD managers I have had who were neurotic, type A, and micromanaging). I have the flexibility not only to work when I want, but also to accomplish my work tasks as I see fit (within some reasonable parameters of course).  I am super happy with this job.  The company is also growing very fast and they promote from within, so I see more opportunities for advancement here than any other place I worked where there were maybe 30 RDs and a couple of managers. 

The company is positive and inclusive. As a contract worker, the role is flexible, able to self schedule. The mission to improve the health of diabetics and those with other chronic conditions is a good one. Initial training was only a few days. Weekly meetings do provide some additional training. I got conflicting information from different leaders. I felt micromanaged and personal weekly feedback was sometimes inconsistent with other instruction from other leaders and sample calls in training material. Some patient interaction expectations felt unnatural in the flow of conversation in certain circumstances (particularly with those expressing mental health or financial difficulties) and difficult to address within expected time limits. Very data and metric focused. Records system could use an update from a professional EMR business.  

Endless opportunities for new programs and very supportive management. I have moved twice with no issues.  Day to day you have control over your own schedule, never been hassled about taking time off and engaging and new opportunities are on the horizon.  Concerns are addressed with management.  Things can change day to day but that is part of new programs and learning from mistakes or finding better ways to achieve outcomes. 

Company leadership is always looking for new opportunities and I've had more of any issue limiting my personal hours vs not enough work.  The job has offered me a sense of purpose with control over my own life.  I feel significantly less stressed in my personal life with this opportunity.  Highly recommend!!

I worked with the organization for over two years and recently resigned. Given the scope of responsibilities, the compensation is low. The role increasingly felt more like insurance-driven case management than clinical dietetics. Over time, additional administrative tasks were added—forms, follow-ups, and tracking members who missed appointments—on top of an already broad workload.

There is significant monitoring of daily activity, along with expectations to submit exemplary calls and chats each month. While the schedule flexibility was genuinely helpful and my colleagues were supportive, the overall structure prioritizes revenue metrics over sustainable workloads and quality of care. I shared my perspective on turnover with my team lead, who agreed, but there appears to be little appetite at the leadership level to address these issues.


So you will notice that the glowing reviews were all submitted by managers and team leads around the same day in June because they couldn't get enough RDs to cover the new employee health contracts they secured.  This company is beholden to the employee health plans they are contracted with and big pharma who calls the shots.  Patients are generally very angry that they have to meet with an RD in order to get their antiobesity medications covered by their insurace.   The number of rules and requirements and different EHR platforms, will make your head spin.  Your day is very monotonous spent filling out forms and collecting data.  

The most enjoyable part of the job is working with patients who want to improve their health and who are motivated.  Of course there are those who are just dependent on medication and who don’t care to make life style changes. 
The culture is one of busy work, questionnaires and impossible schedules given how much is expected for each session.  It is all about profits without consideration of how stressful it all is for the RD.

Every day cold calling people who think they have been signed up for a financial assistance program, and not support program.    Day to day involves scheduling follow up calls with patients, answering questions, and reporting adverse events.  Management typically could not provide direct answers regarding matters, nor followed up well.  Job provides autonomy, and flexibility of hours.  NO benefits, mostly all contract work that can be cancelled on a dime.  No advancement opportunities.  

I love working remotely as a dietitian/CDCES with Cecelia Health.  The virtual platform allows greater access and efficient care for patients and flexibility for the employee.  I have truly enjoyed building relationships and providing education and support to people across the nation while maintaining a work/life balance for myself.  The company culture is extremely positive and supportive!  My co-workers and managers are genuine, compassionate and professional.

As a clinician you will get to work with a diverse patient population and choose the hours you work while optimizing outreach to patients. You have ongoing support from a team leader and your manager and get to virtually meet with your team members on a weekly basis. The leadership has high ethical standards and truly cares about their employees and the patients we interact with. 

I absolutely love working for Cecelia Health. They truly understand & appreciate me as a person and all the work I am doing for them. A great sense of community, despite it being a remote & virtual job. Which is another plus to working for the company, you may live anywhere within the United States. I feel that all the work I do, is noticed and appreciated & I recommend applying to any of their job openings!
