Pros

Some very passionate, smart people in many departments throughout the company Competitive salaries Very generous benefits (amazing healthcare plan, 401k match, and mental health days) Company’s culture is to try to help employees Mission driven, lofty goals

Cons

Changes in executive leadership, with at least three CEOs, four heads of HR/People, four heads of Engineering, and three heads of Sales during as many years Former CEO hired continuous waves of friends and family regardless of optics or whether they were an appropriate fit to lead in a growing wellness startup Lack of transparency in addressing employee concerns and questions about strategy, spending, career pathing for employees, or company equity Employees need a break, mental health days aren’t effective if the same amount of work just needs to be completed in fewer days

Pros

-they offer great resources for members to utilize -continued education to sharpen your coaching skills

Cons

-there have been so many changes and expectations that are frustrating to navigate -they expect way too much for so little pay and no benefits -this role is so taxing on your own mental health... many of the members that you see aren't a good fit for coaching, so you're also filtering a lot of members for therapy and navigate really heavy mental health conversations that aren't within the scope of coaching -feedback isn't delivered live, it's all put in a spreadsheet that's clearly input by automation
