I worked foe L.A.Weight Loss for 8 months. I loved the clients as well as the job. However my manager was a money hungry evil person that worked ther for 6 years and let the employees know that she would never be fired so she could walk over anyone and get away with it. Long story short i stood up to her one day and she tatled on me to the owner whitch resulted in my termination.

I can’t stand it any longer!!!!

Please know most of your counselors do truely care!!! We received word that they are closing our centers to be done by May 2, 2008 through a box. Iside the box were letters to employees and clients saying they are sorry!

What? We do not even warrant a phone call????

I want everyone to know that I am a counselor and if you have any questions or need help with the plan…. I am here….

I DO THIS FOR THE SUCCESS OF MY CLIENTS…….

Buzz is that the franchise centers are in just as much trouble as PURE/Corporate LAWL was. One of the largest franchisees, Barry Goodman, out of Brentwood, TN has shut down all of his south Florida centers with more on the way. At one time, Goodman owned over 100 LA Weight Loss Franchise Centers and was one of LAWL Franchise Companies biggest franchisees.

Also reported on other sites is that centers in Austin, TX, Corpus Christy, TX, and Victoria,TX are closing in additon to centers across the Tennessee area.

As a consumer or a potential franchisee– I would stay clear of this company. Looks like they are on their last legs.
