Pros

The coaching team is made up of incredibly kind, talented, and smart individuals who work hard to support members and each other. Learning and training opportunities are plentiful. Consistent feedback is provided and was helpful to grow as a coach.

Cons

Things shifted dramatically downhill when leadership changed. The care team that was once assured that they would be prioritized is now clearly expendable, and profit seems to be the sole priority at this point. It would be fantastic if the company were led by someone with mental healthcare (or even just healthcare) experience. Coaches are expected to provide excellent support for numerous members simultaneously, some of whom are high-acuity. Morale is plummeting, coaches are suffering, but it seems to be of no concern to the executives. It's disappointing to see such a decline in the quality of a company that felt like a unicorn in mental healthcare when I started. I trusted my instincts and left when the care team was no longer valued, and I see that I made the right choice. Pay was never stellar, but at least the benefits helped make up for that. Now, the benefits are vanishing.

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
