Valley Nutrition

"I was an employee at Valley Nutrition for about 3 weeks. I really enjoyed the job and forming relationships with the customers. However, they totally lost my respect as well as my employment. Prior to getting hired, I had a phone interview with Brianna. We talked about many things, but the biggest thing for me was the pay. She had explained to me I would be getting paid $11 an hour plus 30% of my sales. She also had stated it would be changing to $12 an hour. I had confirmed with her many times because I wanted to be sure I was not accepting a commission based job. She had made it very clear to me that I would be getting AT LEAST my hourly, even if 0 customers came in during my shift. She had also told me I would be getting $75 for training. Fast forward to my first paycheck, I only received $60 for training. I let it slide and didn't say anything because I did not want to be "that annoying new girl." Fast forward to my second paycheck, I only got paid $150 for 24 hours. I sent a text to Jess (one of the owners) and she bluntly ignored me. I texted Brianna (the co owner) and she told me I only get commission, not hourly - something that went against the contract I signed. At this logic, that meant I only took home $6.25 an hour, which is significantly under Connecticut's minimum wage and is illegal. Pretty much I was lied to. Stay away! :)"

"I walked into this establishment and was blown away by the wide variety of shakes and teas to choose from. The staff was very friendly, and actually helped me to finally make a decision on what shake and tea to choose. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get some protein shakes and teas to help keep your body and mind in shape."

"Met Rae and Jess today. Rae made me an amazing drink with love ❤️. Great customer service, vybe is on point, and products taste good. I’ll be coming back there more often moving forward. I like this."

"The owner is super knowledgeable about what she offers and what she puts in her shakes. Each shake is under 250 cal and has 25g of protein and 15g of met carbs. As someone who is lactose intolerant I was hesitant to try somewhere with protein shakes as theyre usually made with milk bases. Not only is this not the case they’re also a soy based protein so you dont need to worry about if the whey protein has dairy isolates in it or not. The very filling shakes are great and come with a complimentary green tea + aloe tea to help with energy and digestion. I cannot recommend this enough to those passing through oxford or even those who live here."
