Pros

Wonderful mission - to make the world a happier place. We need more companies with missions like these. Also Andy is a fantastic guy. He really is like he sounds and his translation of Buddhist teachings into palatable modern day culture are fantastic.

Cons

The other co founder doesn't embody the values of the company. He is basically interested in himself and the status of building a large company, that could have been selling anything. He's very good at branding but is not authentic.

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
