Pros

- Every other Friday off

Cons

- Laid someone off during maternity leave - 4 rounds of layoffs in 14 months - $5,000 to $10,000 worth of benefits cuts in the last year - No bonus payout - No raises or promotions - HIPAA violations in companywide Slack channels by executives (everyone can see the PHI) - CEO’s friends get paid a lot to belittle their colleagues and talk down to people - Multiple people say they cry regularly related to working here - When they lay off therapists, they ghost the people with therapy appointments, which is traumatizing for those people. - Last time during layoffs an app user came out as LGBTQ and got ghosted because the therapist was laid off.

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
