LA Weightloss ripoff will not refund money- medical leave Winston Salem North Carolina
Be careful when buying bulk with LA Weightloss!!!! I was on the plan for 5 months. I fell at work and broke my back. They were nice enough to place me on medical leave. However, they did not tell me that they will only give you credit for 12 weeks. I have been stuck at home for almost 7 months. Prior to getting hurt, I had purchased a case of the LA Lites and a case of the SlimDown's. I contacted the center to get refund on the food items and the remaining weeks I had left on the plan, #1- I never received them, #2 - I can't drive to the center,#3 - I can't follow the plan due to my current condition. They responded by telling me that I am not eligible for a refund because they only allow 12 weeks for medical leave and that my weeks have ran out, however, for $$$ I can sign up for additional weeks~!!!!! CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT????? To top it all off, my mother-n-law has been to the center on 3 seperate occasions to pick up these items since I am not eligible for the refund, and they tell her that they can not find my file, so therefore, they do not owe me any items!!!!
I never saw anything about a medical leave in the contract!!!! Is anyone else having a problem like this???

When I was hired at LAWL, I was told that you would had to sell some things. It is a commission job, ladies. I was never told about sales quotas that HAD to be reach. They made it sound like you sell what you can because there was a based salary (a sorry 8.00+com). As time went on, I start finding out the REAL LAWL. We would have meetings and workshops on how to take people money. There would be times when the trainer would teach us how to get someone to sign up or buy something who was absolutely dead broke. The answer: making them sign up for Care Credit. (Does that sound familiar ladies?) I have a big consciousness on me. I was helping people lose weight left and right without having them spend money on the expensive products they offer. The clients loved me. However other employees there were good sellers and was put on a pedestal, I was treated like the enemy. When I was put on a 4-week probation to get my numbers up, I said forget it, I'm through. I didn't care after that because I saw them for who they were and they knew it and had to get me out. Managers tried to talk to me and then talk behind my back. Older clients started to see that the managers were not as interested in them as they were in the newer clients. Why? The newer clients are still purchasing the program. Another employee and I were thrown on the older clients and saw that. NOW TO THE LADY WHO SAYS LAWL IS GREAT, READ THIS: I asked my manager one day: "If I was a counselor who sold everything, great seller, but the clients hated me, would I be on probation like I am now?" Her response: "No." What does that tell you? So honey, the only reason they called to get you in and check on was to get your money. Trust me, we had workshops on calling people because they will think you care, come in, and will buy from you. I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. From that day on, I truly knew it was about the money.That's all they want, ladies. Personally, I would take the advice of someone who said it, about seeing your doctor. At least you have insurance to cover that.
