Pros

Good mission. Globally recognized brand and products. Some incredibly smart and talented people to work with and learn from.

Cons

Was once a great place to work when there was money in the bank and forecasted growth was being realized. Benefits that were once really good have been cut multiple times, Pay was once above average although gaps between certain teams and individuals were questionable. Pay for open roles a lot less than before. Several rounds of layoffs to date with more to come? New CEO, came in and first acts were a layoff and getting rid of a significant benefit called Mind Days which was literally every other Friday off to rest and recharge. You can imagine how beloved that benefit was. This varied between teams but almost zero room for growth. Imagine it’s worse now unless you’re both incredible at your job and you are able to shove your nose very high up into the anuses of the right people across several teams and departments. Product and mission seem to have lost the plot, top heavy org, too many cooks in the kitchen. I will say it’s probably a great opportunity for someone to come in help drive growth. It’s much needed and I imagine you can reap rewards if you can do that.

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
