going down hill - Anonymous employee Bicycle Health Employee Review

My work here feels meaningful every single day. Hearing the feedback from our patients motivates me to remember my "why" when I show up everyday. Bicycle Health also promotes a safe space to experience life. What I mean is that they're extremely understanding that life happens and you don't have to wonder if your job is secure when you need support. They have ample opportunities for internal movement and growth and will nurture your journey throughout. I've never felt more supported, seen, and heard than joining Bicycle Health over 3 years ago.

Not entirely a con, but since the company is still less than 10 years old, change is inevitable. Learning to grow with change is not always easy but I've seen that with every change, we've either improved patient experience, employee experience, or both.

Bicycle Health has a strong mission and provides meaningful work, especially for those passionate about supporting patients in recovery. Many frontline team members are deeply committed, and recent efforts from new leadership to refocus on patient-centered care have been encouraging.

Recent organizational changes have created growing concerns around execution, communication, and sustainability. * Leadership restructuring without clear rationale. The expansion of management roles, while reducing direct patient-facing responsibilities in those roles, has increased the burden on frontline staff without a corresponding increase in support. * Workload imbalance. Recovery coaches are being asked to absorb additional groups and patient needs as roles shift away from direct care. This raises concerns about burnout and retention among frontline staff. * Inconsistent communication and follow-through. Messaging around role changes, promotions, and growth opportunities has been unclear or contradictory, which has impacted trust within teams. * Compensation misalignment. While there has been discussion of meaningful merit increases, outcomes appear inconsistent. At the same time, new higher-level roles have been introduced, which can create the perception of inequity across the team. * Impact on patient care. When frontline capacity is stretched and experienced staff are pulled away from direct work, it becomes more difficult to deliver the level of care the organization aspires to provide.
