Pros

- the staff are the best people I’ve worked with. Smart, kind, passionate and always willing to support one another. The culture of front line staff was like none other. - the pay is competitive from a market standpoint - the OG missions of both headspace and ginger were incredible and motivating

Cons

The decline in Headspace in the last few years is truly one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve witnessed in my career. This company took two INCREDIBLE start ups with smart, driven people and thriving cultures and stripped them to nuts & bolts. During my time at Headspace, I was treated so terribly that I had to seek therapy (ironic) and I know at least half my team was needing to do the same. The platitudes uttered by the CEO were so empty and emotionless I feel sure they were written by AI. I witnessed terribly unethical things and despite reporting them, nothing was ever done. It really is such a disappointment after all the work that was done to create a healthy, happy workforce.

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
