Meh - Nutritionist Macros Employee Review

Macros Inc is full of amazing people who have all dedicated their careers to helping others and are united in a mission. When a calling becomes a profession you know you have found a great place to spend your career.

There are no real cons of working here.

Remote work and flexible schedule.

I was a fitness and nutrition coach at Macros, Inc. for 4 years. Despite consistently ranking in the top 25% of coaches for performance analytics and maintaining a client churn rate below 12%, I was terminated without valid cause. Management frequently made disingenuous promises—telling me they wanted me to have a great experience, then ignoring serious concerns like a 42% drop in my income from 2023 to 2024. My quarterly reviews were excellent—until they stopped doing them altogether. No feedback, no transparency, just a growing pattern of dismissiveness. My termination was supposedly due to “communication not being a good fit,” even though that “fit” served both the company and clients well for years. I suspect ageism and potentially sexism played a role. Promises of a recommendation letter were never fulfilled. The company also routinely crosses the legal line between independent contractor and employee—requiring mandatory meetings, controlling work processes, and setting expectations inconsistent with contractor status. This raises serious questions about misclassification under IRS guidelines. If you're a coach considering Macros, Inc., think twice. Performance doesn’t protect you. Leadership is unaccountable, and the culture is toxic behind the curtain of polished branding.
