Pros

Unlimited Paid Time Off is the only thing

Cons

Support is constantly neglected. It is constantly bragged about all the perks that the sales department gets and when sales numbers are down they ask support to help sales to find new clients while the sales reps gain the extra perks for the new sales. Upper management frequently asks support teams to come in on holidays to work. New Hires are paid more than the experienced staff on the same team. Health insurance has gone up each year so much that after your yearly raise your take-home pay is actually less than the year before. Most of my team currently can't afford normal living expenses due to inflation and messaging has already started coming down to not expect raises to address the increased cost of living. The culture is very much " we are a family so work extra hard but do not expect more pay because we are a family and that's not what families do" Their main metric to gauge employee happiness is "would you refer a friend to apply for a job here?" I would not, especially when that means their base salary would be higher than mine on day 1 even though I have been here for 3 years.

Pros

Your co-workers, people who actually do the work, front lines, are awesome. Most joined the company because they believe in the mission of serving the underserved in the mental health space. Benefits are more than adequate. Unlimited PTO. Company pays 75% of health benefits. 401k matching up to 6%. Stable, has moved beyond "startup" phase. PE backed. Just purchased by KKR, a huge investment firm. Well funded.

Cons

You will notice that most positive reviews 4-5 stars are from employees with less than a year tenure. Most of the negative 1 star reviews are from those who were with companies that were acquired by the holdings company that is Therapy Brands. This is a 1 star review. Jan 2020 was a watershed moment. The former CEO and founder of TBH was ousted by the investors and replaced immediately (as in, same day) by their appointee. Focus turned to profits, more revenue, and squeezing every last bit of goodwill from those who were tenured. Tenured people, who came from the original brands, cared about the mission more than money. We serve MH professionals, substance abuse facilities, therapy, etc. We were passionate people who sought to help the passionate professionals in the therapy space. That was our mission: to help. The mission now is money. Full stop. You will get trampled if you care. If you do not care about who you serve, but want to get paid way less than market rate, get micromanaged, work the equivalent of 2 jobs, have no support or training, have senior management that don't care and who are obviously making a show for the front line worker that they do, have a product set that is falling behind to the competition because of lack of proper development, then this is the job for you. It is a corporate entity like any other. There is nothing that sets it apart. It is beige. The gulf between those who have direct communication with the customer and those who are in leadership is painfully vast. Please avoid being sucked into the machine. There are much better jobs out there. You can do better than work at Therapy Brands.

Thank you for your feedback as Therapy Brands is always striving to improve our employee experience. We agree that our team members are the heartbeat of our company and have a binding thread of compassion for our mission, our customers and the impact on their patients. That is what drives us forward. As a fast-paced, high growth company, we are continually evaluating and assessing how to more elegantly maneuver the growing pains that naturally come with getting to the next level of organizational development. We acknowledge that 2020 was a year of change as we worked towards the stabilization and harmonization of disparate practices, policies and more. We came together as a unified Therapy Brands, caring for our many brand families during unprecedented times. Our employees are resilient and hardworking, and we are so very proud of our teams, recognizing them through promotions (affecting over 10% of the population last year), peer to peer recognition through our TBH CARES program and Circle of Excellence. Training and development are the focus moving forward, starting with our Leadership Academy which launched in Q1 to better equip our leaders, and moving into Product and Solutions Training in 2021. Our goal is to provide the tools and resources along with a career path that employees need and deserve to be successful in their roles. Communication lines are open at TBH. We proudly offer multiple forums to talk directly with our Senior Leadership Team and People Operations. We care, we’re listening, and the best is yet to come with Therapy Brands.

Saddened by negative direction and new leadership

Pros

Some truly wonderful people who go above and beyond work here. They are very kind and gracious, and they care deeply about the industry. I am proud to have worked alongside of them. The unlimited PTO is nice (in theory and if you can actually manage to take it with the work load).

Cons

The company has taken a very negative turn at the beginning of the year. The CEO and original founder (Shegun) suddenly and abruptly “left” and was replaced immediately by a new CEO with no notice. It seemed like the new CEO was recruited by the private equity investors. There were extremely aggressive revenue goals that pushed all of the teams beyond capacity and has had a negative impact on employee’s mental health (which is ironic considering the mission is supposedly serving the underserved and helping the mental health industry). The leadership doesn’t seem to really understand the customer base and audience, or the employees for that matter. It’s a bunch of companies that got acquired mashed into one, so it is still in the growth stage and there are a lot of growing pains. Leadership bungled the Black Lives Matter and George Floyd response and initially refused to say that black lives matter. It made a lot of them uncomfortable. Senior leadership only changed course when employees collectively put a lot of pressure on them from inside. Now during the pandemic they have had price increases and are attempting to extract greater profits from telehealth to satisfy investors. A lot of the original team are leaving or being forced to leave due to the negative changes. A lot of us who actually do the hard work believe deeply in therapy and mental health. That’s why we got into the industry in the first place. It is heartbreaking to see the company betray trust and stray so far from what we should be all about. There is so much potential at this company, and I hope it reverses course and gets better.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking top talent and skills that allows us to evolve and support our customers and team members. As good stewards of the business, our leadership has a vision to grow a nimble and aspirational company that can spot opportunities, set attainable goals, and make needed adjustments in a fast-paced environment. It’s rewarding to know that our solutions help medical professionals to aid some of the most vulnerable communities. It is the reason many of us joined the company. We are actively working to formalize a customer advisory board and user programs to enlist the help of our customers to help steer the product road map and strategy. At the same time, we are working to harmonize our family of brands through rationalized best practices and processes, and are striving to create a thriving, engaging culture for all through enhanced engagement, recognition and top-notch employee benefits. We recognize that we have work to do, and we truly appreciate your honest feedback.
