Pros

No meeting and mind days on Friday’s Quarterly stipend via Forma to spend on a host of different things Unlimited PTO Remote work Lifetime access to Headspace

Cons

Poor communication from senior leaders about what the goals are Poor planning overall around OKRs. It takes forever to know what the foci are and what budget looks like. CEO acts without considering those impacted, he’s not human centered at all. Way too many c-suite leaders for a small company Company doesn’t hold people accountable for behavior that goes against values, particularly white men and women at the company The company says it wants to get meditation and mental health resources into everyone’s hands but it refuses to make any meaningful moves to build relationships with consumers who aren’t White. When asked to consider it, two of the leaders bring up those communities inability to pay as if there aren’t people unable to pay across all demographics. Many leaders within the organization lack the ability to have difficult conversations and ghost you. People get promoted for appearing to be doing a lot but they are really just looking busy without accomplishing much.

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
