LWI Lindora Franchisee

I worked for Lindora for years. I always gave 150%, was loyal, dedicated, and hard working. 
Nothing you do is ever appreciated. They will however quickly point out minor mistakes even after working double shifts 5 days a week and doing the job of manager since we didn't have one for a long time and were also very understaffed. If you did happen to get a raise, there was always a reason on why it was an insulting amount, and based off of a review given about you by an employee that doesn't work with you because again, there was no clinic manager to give one even though that is their policy. 
If you dont care to be a salesman or telemarketer, this is not the job for you.  This company is all about sales and sales calls which they use the guise of "care calls" which is actually great because they only care about your calls. They are so ridiculous with the calls that the patients literally get fed up with the amount of times we call. They even have us pull old patient files and have us call them as well, to entice them to come in to purchase. 
No matter how tirelessly you work for this company, if a patient complains, which they do often as in this company they will get rewarded, they will side with the patient caring none if the accusations are true or not. You're ALWAYS guilty and wrong. 
They pay is extremely low. It was even more insulting after having worked there for years when they would hire on new staff and pay them a higher hourly wage because they wanted them bad enough. Also giving new hires schedule preference after telling us we need to be available ALL HOURS. 
The area managers speak to you as though you're incompetent, very condescending and  very demeaning.
No matter how hard you work or how much of yourself you give, they will never make you feel  valued. They make it clear, you can be replaced. 
That place just went downhill as time went on and got worse and worse. 
Ps. LINDORA if you take care of your employees, especially hard working dedicated employees and they value their job, perhaps you wouldn't have such a high turnover rate and other employees would work harder to keep a good position.
Ive never been more relieved to leave a company, especially when you love what you do. Also, area managers, if you do have favorite employees don't make it so obvious along with your disdain for others. Really unprofessional.  Lots of hypocrisy. This is just the tip. Unless you really need the little money you will make and/or some quick experience.... this is a hard no!

Great for new nurses to gain some experience with light patient care. I got to learn blood draws, give injections and learned how to give dietary advisement. Coworkers and patients are really nice which makes the work place pleasant and enjoyable. The whole month revolves around making a financial clinic goal. If you dont make this goal, you won't make a bonus. "Bonus" (small) is what the company uses as an excuse for their extremey low pay rate. (Pay rate of a nursing aide) Therefore being a perfect stepping stone for a graduate new nurse to gain experience and then apply to a better paying position elsewhere. The older nurses in the company that have been there for many years have settled out of comfort and possible fear of change and/or application process to new places. (Very nice women). If they only new they can be getting paid anywhere from a 5-10 dollar difference an hour if they only looked. I do miss working at Lindora but I DONT miss my tiny pay check. Im getting paid 7 dollars an hour more now and I am still off on the weekends (which is another excuse the company gives as compensation). Lindora would be a much better place to work for if they changed what they pay. They would probably even make more money having a staff that felt more valued and compensated. They would probably keep a lot more of the good employees and not waste time training new ones over and over again.

Lately, work has so many new responsibilities that consume work time that doesn't allow for the completion of tasks needed to run a medical office. For example the inability to do phone calls that are necessary to follow up with patients. The inability to council patients in a  timely manner. The inability to train new team members & review weight loss strategies, & sales techniques.. The patient load can be so overwhelming , as many as 70 to over a hundred  a day . The staffing is based on total signins, but does not take into account that two nurses servicing 5-15 patients or more that come in at the same time, backs up the patient flow, with delays as much as 20 minutes for patients to be serviced.olo two people cannot give satisfactory service to incoming patients, answering phones, running up sales transactions, replenishing stock, sanitizing rooms, and answering phones. With adequate staff, this is a wonderful place to work. To be fair, it is understandable that with the pandemic Staffing needed to be curtailed down. But now with commercials bringing a new patients, CDC guidelines are lifting to allow people out more, there is no staff enough to meet the demand.bring back adequate staffing back, and let's all work together to bring the best service to our deserving patients!

It’s all about making money. They say “medical clinic” but it’s just a diet pushing products and shots. Staffing is inadequate. You get angry patients that feel like their money is being taken and they feel that staff doesn’t care. Nurses try to let upper management & corporate know that patients are not given the attention they need due to understaffing. Patients call to complain and scream at staff.  The answer from supervisors and corporate is just to deal with it. Pushing products, calling patients as care calls but In reality is to inform them of sales and sell vitamin shots. Making monthly quota is all they care about. You’re promised a bonus after performing, but then last minute they change the bonus details and you no longer qualify. Pay is terrible practically minimum wages. There are no raises. Forget about vacations. If you get have to take a day off due to being sick that takes away from vacation time. So when you request to take vacation, it’s automatically denied. Regionals are uncaring. Corporate has no empathy. Morale is low.  It’s just a terrible place to be. Do yourself a favor. Stay far away from this company. 

I’ve been a nurse 2 decades and wanted to try something new in the field and out of the hospital setting. Applying to Lindora was something I was enthusiastic about because I didn’t know they hired nurses to work in their clinics. My entire team is the BEST TEAM I have ever worked with in all 20 years of my nursing experience. I finally know people mean when they say “when you love doing your job it doesn’t feel like work” and it truly does not. Everyday I learning something new that interests and intrigues me by being a nurse in the wellness aspect of nursing now. The company is truly like one big family and everyone seem so happy to be employed there. The hardest part of the job was learning their charting system but once you learn that everything else is pretty simple. They are more focused on customer service aspect than the nursing aspect which gives me the experience in sales I never had before. I am always looking learning something new about the high protein low card diet and patient education on wellness & I am looking forward to my future here with Lindora!!

This is a good company if you are looking for a monday-friday job and relatively regular hours. It is primarily a sales atmosphere with less emphasis on nursing and patient care. Management is sales driven, not employee friendly at times. The people working there are usually very nice. Hardest part of the job is dealing with the fact that you are a nurse and yet they expect you to be a nurse, sales person, inventory person, receptionist, cashier, educator, etc, additionally, I worked there for over 5 years and never received a raise and the bonuses that they promise you upon hire are based on your sales so if you're not a sales person (which usually we are nurses) then the bonus really isn't worth the hassle you have to go through for it. The most enjoyable part of the job is the satisfaction you feel when your patients do well.

Let's see......they have taken away raises, bonuses have gotten smaller, and hours gotten longer. They don't tell u when your hired but they cut your hours during holidays with no notice, can make u work in clinics far from home if someone calls off or quits, can make u work split shifts (which isn't reasonable if u have kids and paying for day care), work 12 hour shifts and change schedule on a weekly basis. The employees are not happy and creates a hostile work environment and who ever kisses butt, lies and taddle tales are the people moving up so it's never going to get better, and HR doesn't do anything about it even after many employees have come to them about their "area managers" with concerns. The gossip is horrible and bounces clinic to clinic. Half the patients are in a hurry and complain and really don't even want the help you are giving them and constantly complaining.

In a typical workday, you will be counseling and educating patients about the Lindora weight loss plan. A full time nurse is expected to see and counsel up to 40 patients / day and do 50 phone calls (patient care calls)/ day. You will also be selling products, giving injections, taking blood pressure, pulse, measurements, drawing labs and performing/ explaining body composition analysis to patients. There is a high turnover in general staff and management due to low pay scale and lack of bonding. No more company parties or learning festivals (pre-pandemic). The hardest part of the job is completing all of the phone calls expected and making your sales quota for the day. The most enjoyable part of the job is when the patient follows the program and has an epiphany as to why they first gained weight and how they can now control it and change their life path.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Discounts on injections, treatments, and product. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Understaffed for client volume. Company moved from a successful computer system to "zenoti" on tablets that are time consuming, ineffective, and leaves a high chance for error. Clinic managers need training on leadership, professionalism, and how to treat staff with dignity and respect.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Demanding clientele. Understaffed for client volume leading to a stressful environment, poor management from clinic managers (judgemental and condescending). Corporate management is kind but oblivious to the lack of professionalism from clinic managers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced, stressful, in anticipation of being ridiculed by clinic manager.

Lindora Lean for Life weight loss plan gives overweight and obese people hope and tools to gain control over their weight as they learn to become healthy again. Typically I have the opportunity each working day to meet with people who are looking for help to lose weight. I do a brief exam, review their medical history, discuss with them their lab results and implications to weight loss, then help them in developing a plan to begin the journey. I have learned to be more patient and understanding with those who struggle to follow their weight loss plan, and rejoice with them as they succeed. These are both the hardest and the most enjoyable parts of the job. We have recently had major administrative changes, and the new leadership is positively brimming with new direction and ideas. The change is good.
