Toxic train wreck

Pros

Always the people. The people are great, but so many of the good ones have left or were unfairly let go in recent RIFs.

Cons

- Managers with no training - too many junior managers with no skills. Ironic for a coaching company. - Toxic senior leadership - constantly gaslight you on all hands and other calls while in the background doing everything possible to squeeze every drop of productivity out of you - Too many VPs - who is going to do all this work? Great job to the senior leadership on your 100th strategy shift this year. Any thoughts on who will do the work? - No work/life balance - CEO laughs at concept of work life balance. No wonder so many of us work nights and weekend to hit unrealistic deadlines - Endless strategy shifts - the company as no clue where it’s headed. The wrong people are manning the ship. If you’re hanging on for an IPO, you need to start looking inward. - Lack of resources - despite losing almost 20% of the company over the last year, we have not backfilled the roles. The workload has also simultaneously increased considerably over the last year - Celeb obsessed - too many bad celeb involvements. Brene is ok but is problematic. Cant imagine what we spend on people like Adam Grant, etc. - No raises - we haven’t had a raise or COL adjustment in years. - No more remote - despite most of us being hired as remote worker, the rug pull has started. It’s only a matter of time before they start forcing us all back to the office. - No recognition - work your a** off but if you’re not in the inner circle, good luck to you.

Pros

Easy to interface with clients

Cons

Inconsistent client base (was told sales team just aren't signing new members). They do not respond when you apply to specialize as a coach, even when they've solicited applications.

Pros

Great people, sincerely. Lots of intelligent, kind, caring, hard working people trying to get things done. Good work life balance and managers of ICs are caring and compassionate.

Cons

Constant changes in strategy and re-orgs cause whiplash. 2 big layoffs 6 months apart. Senior leadership doesn't connect with lower level leadership on decision making and communication often is very poor about why decisions are made. Lots of burn out and stress.
