Livea Weight Control Centers

I worked for this company for less than a year.  Having already put in my time with a  career I was looking for something where I could give back. 
The best part of the job is: The clients are wonderful!  The management is another story.  Minnetonka Medifast has one goal and that is to have 1000 active paying members per month.  Great goal! But the human resource director as well as the managing director at the location are way over the top regarding productivity and selling memberships. I learned that it really wasn't about the client as much as it was about memberships.

A typical day is seeing a client every 15 minutes and if you do not keep your CPH (clients per hour) at that level you are let go. I think the hardest part of the job is keeping a 15 minute consultation. Management will not give you a consistent schedule so that you can plan for your personal life and family.  There is no balance at this location.  If the Director had a sense of balance I think the Center would be wonderful. But when you can not plan for an event or a hair appointment it's very frustrating.
I have to say the other counselors were all there for the right reasons: to help people. All the staff there is very frustrated with no outlet for requesting change. HR Director and Managing Director are too close and instead of handling problems professionally they terminate them.
The counselors are a great group of people helping people, just very poor management.

A typical day at work:

Seeing clients for 15 minute appointments, back-to-back because they are understaffing to save on hours. 
You will be very rushed. 
You will easily forget who is in front of you because you have to weigh the client, review notes, enter new notes, toss out a few affirmations and take & pack a food order within that fifteen minutes.  
Then you will rush that client out and race to grab the next one because there are not enough employees to breathe between clients. 
All day long. 
You do get one unpaid lunch break. 
If you truly care about/want to help people, you will be mentally exhausted at day’s end. 

The medical side is currently in complete chaos with lots of turnover as well. Rarely, a client will report they are losing weight, so it is very disheartening and stressful to listen to most others complain about the money they are wasting while not losing. 

What you believe you learned:

This company does not value its number one client—their employees.  
“Employee Appreciation Week” consists of allowing you to wear the one piece of Livea Gear they give you for an entire week. 

After working here for any length of time you will probably question your own integrity.  I did. 

Working at Livea has significantly enhanced my clinical expertise while also strengthening my overall professional skills, particularly in collaborative, interdisciplinary settings. The company’s commitment to servant leadership has empowered me to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others by contributing to a welcoming and supportive community where everyone is encouraged to grow and reach their fullest potential.

Livea fosters a highly professional environment rooted in mutual respect, continuous learning, and teamwork. The medical team is dedicated to providing holistic, evidence-based care, with a strong emphasis on safety and accessibility. I am especially proud to be part of an organization that stays at the forefront of medical innovation, offering our clients safe access to the latest advancements in weight loss medications.

Overall, Livea is a place where both clients and team members are supported, valued, and inspired to thrive.

I love our mission of helping people on a daily basis to achieve their health and wellness goals and to become the best versions of themselves.  Whether contributing directly to this mission in center on a daily basis or indirectly and behind the scenes to support those who do, every day there is a real sense of purpose and a very real motivation to bring your best and give your best because what we do matter and makes a difference in the lives of others.  We work with a wonderful team of experts in field and in each department that are supportive, encouraging, and inspiring.  We lift each other up and drive each other to be better.  There's often a time commitment that comes with this sense of responsibility, but it honestly comes from within because we want to do what we can to help! 

Great place to work if you gain satisfaction from helping others make big changes in their lives. Work culture is positive, and the Livea team is great and supportive. If you are a quick learner, you will have no problem adjusting to the role. Be ready to be on your feet and bring in clients one after another as there is little breathing room for yourself on fully booked days. Not recommended for someone who requires a strong balance between life and work because the hours are long and dependent on the hours the center is open, which can make it difficult to maintain a healthy balance between the two. Many people also move up in the company over time, so if you're looking to grow with one company, Livea is a great place to start.

Good job for those looking to gain experience, lots of experience with face to face nutrition counseling with clients. Clients are wonderful people. Also had great coworkers. Upper management (corporate) is terrible. Their interests are only in gaining more clients for profits, not taking care of the clients they already have. Expected to hit unrealistic clients per hour numbers to bonus (aka have a normal paycheck). They even have employees remove expiration dates from their food products and put new dates on to extend shelf life. Only get one weekend off per month, sick time is included in already limited PTO days. The entire corporate team is very cliquey. 


At Livea you get the chance to help change people's lives on a daily basis. It is a fast paced, busy environment as you are supporting clients via phone, virtual or in center along with completing tasks to be done around the center. Having said that, communication has always been great and leadership focuses on avoiding burnout. There is definitely room to grow in this organization. You are expected to work certain hours (including Saturdays) but I have never had an issue with flexibility to make it to appointments, have days off, etc. - communication with leadership is key in all facets! There are several things you can get involved in other than seeing clients to have variety in the work day (as time allows). The differences you can make it someone's life and following their progress is the most amazing part!

Working at Livea has been a truly rewarding experience. The workplace culture is supportive, collaborative, and health-focused, which aligns perfectly with the values of those passionate about wellness and client care.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of my role has been the opportunity to work closely with our clients. Meeting with them regularly allows me to build meaningful relationships and offer consistent support throughout their weight loss journey. It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness their progress not just in numbers, but in confidence, energy, and overall well-being.

If you enjoy a positive team environment and are passionate about helping others improve their health, Livea is a great place to be.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You get to know the clients very well and can develop a personal connection with them

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The employee turnover, leadership constantly cutting corners, and the expectations to work like a robot. There is VERY little room for naturally occurring human error.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They go though periods of cutting hours and then needing you last minute. The environment is inconsistent. Many of the staff get burnt out which leads to an inequitable workload put on others.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is hectic, but slow early in the week.

Medifast is truly a wonderful company to work for. For one, each day you get the opportunity to meet with a variety of people, and support them in changing their lives for the better! What could be better then that? Watching people transform inside and out as they work toward their goal is truly inspiring. Secondly, the staff consists of wonderful men and women. The training, support, and respect you receive from your fellow co-workers and management team, is not only thorough and reliable, but truly authentic. If you are passionate about nutrition, helping others, and overall health and wellness, consider Medifast.
