Pros

None - worst company I've worked for

Cons

I worked at headspace as a senior HR Manager, and was fired after complaining about illegal employment practices that were protected and endorsed by the HR department. On numerous occasions, I was asked and eventually demanded to support the firing of pregnant people " to prevent them from going on maternity leave." Additionally, I became privy to the fact that headspace's diversity strategy included "telling recruiters to primarily consider the way candidates looked in their profile pictures on LinkedIn." I also witnessed firsthand disparaging and discriminatory comments made about African Americans, Jewish people, and people of Hispanic heritage. This is a shameful company, with the history of trying to buy people's rights out when they complain about illegal practices. The new CEO does not seem to care at all, and his HR leadership is as unprofessional as they are untalented.

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
