Pros
Practicing board certified health and wellness coaching with like minded colleagues. Gained great experience in health coaching in very high volume caseloads. Some aspects of flexibility although it steadily decreased year after year. Professional development, stipends, and 401k match were pros.
Cons
Compensation does not appropriately reflect the extremely high amount of work. Raises were hard to come by even for high performers. I think longer tenured coaches maintained higher pay and newer coaches couldn’t get to those levels in any realistic time frame which is sad. Burnout is high with unrealistic caseloads in addition to steady reduction of perks and flexibility with scheduling. Evolving tech didn’t really solve problems but created different ones. Constantly changing metrics that always seemed inaccurate and irrelevant.
