Pros

You can work from home, but like you might as well work a job where you have a 3 hour commute and a 12 shift because you’re worked to the ground.

Cons

Working as a primary therapist at this company was one of the most disheartening professional experiences of my career. While I entered the role with the hope of providing meaningful support to clients, I quickly learned that compassion, integrity, and clinical support are nowhere to be found in the culture of this organization. The micromanagement is relentless, yet when you need guidance or leadership, it’s non-existent. My direct supervisor showed a shocking lack of empathy—most notably when I experienced a death in my family and was told that my priority should be finding coverage. Not an ounce of compassion. When I reached out for help or clarification, I was either completely ignored, told they would “get back to me” (they didn’t), or met with indifference. I was once blindsided by a suspicious meeting placed on my calendar involving my supervisor and her superior. When I inquired about it, they chose to stay online all day ignoring me—clearly planning to fire me without communication. Thankfully, I resigned before they had the chance, having already lined up another opportunity. It was an unprofessional, vindictive, and cowardly way to treat an employee. The workplace culture is competitive in the worst way—condescending, cold, and cutthroat. Everyone seems to be trying to one-up each other instead of working collaboratively. Expectations are wildly unrealistic: therapists are expected to carry overloaded caseloads, pick up extra groups, and maintain excessive documentation standards, all with zero administrative support. And when clients don’t show up—which, by the way, we have no control over—we are blamed for “low utilization.” You’re expected to somehow force clients to attend more sessions than they agreed to, and punished when the inevitable happens. The so-called bonus system is a complete scam. I never received the bonus I earned, even months after leaving. They also refused to pay out my accrued vacation time and attempted to gaslight me into believing they had. To top it off, when I left, the company sent a letter to my clients without my input that essentially painted me as incompetent. The level of unprofessionalism and disregard for ethical standards was appalling. They advertise a “scholarship program” for clients who can’t afford treatment—but I watched as multiple clients were dropped from care within a day due to insurance issues. That scholarship? Apparently just a marketing tactic. Many of my clients frequently expressed frustration with the disorganization and lack of communication within the program. The clients deserved better. I was committed to them, but the company made it virtually impossible to do good work. In hindsight, it’s hard to see my experience as anything other than a setup for failure. I’m writing this review to warn others not to leave something stable or healthy for the illusion of opportunity here. This company does not care about you. It does not care about its clients. It cares about billing hours and optics, and it will chew you up and spit you out without hesitation. Do yourself a favor—look elsewhere.

Pros

Trust the negative reviews no matter the position, the positive ones are written by talent to make it easier to hire. I read these reviews before coming here and thought “it’s always the scorned employees that write the bad reviews,” but if you listen to any of these at least trust this one. Working here will ruin your career and will leave you in a worst place than when you came here. I promise you, your current employer is better than here. I can positively say my mental health has NEVER been worse and I work for a freaking mental healthcare provider. This company will use the mission to lure in good employees and then will run you into the ground or will fire you before you even know what happened. KPIs are the only thing determining your job security. If you miss your numbers one month, you are immediately put onto a PIP and then subsequently fired - no ifs ands or buts. They are so PIP-happy here that I know employees that have been put onto and taken off of performance plans 3-4 times in less than a year. Even the therapists here are overworked and overwhelmed with an immense lack of support. Do not let the mission fool you, it’s better to just pass on any position here.

Cons

The list is endless. Other than the poor management, endless turnover, and severe lack of work life balance - the constant process changes take the cake. I know that is common for startups, but if you question the change at all you are immediately looked down on by management and your “mission-alignment” is questioned. There’s a reason the majority of people employed here end up being here for a short amount of time. Do not make the same mistake I did.

Pros

The other outreach managers are all so miserable that you can find some funny comrades in the trenches of Charlie Health culture.

Cons

I genuinely don’t have enough words to describe how terrible it is. -I’ve seen managers openly gaslight and invalidate team members. -There’s constantly 55 goal posts to hit and spoiler alert: you’ll never reach any of them. But don’t worry! They’ll make sure you know how bad you’re doing to motivate you to FIGHT! -The culture is unbelievably toxic and almost cult like? 95% sales people that have a complex about “making a difference” while staying in sales. So all the toxicity of sales bro culture hand in hand with complex mental health burnout. Great combo! -Their managers (specifically middle management) are some of the most horrific micro managers I have ever seen. My manager would make people send a paragraph long Slack message by 8:30am or else you got spoken to. -They’ll tell you it’s “autonomous”. I’m not even going to elaborate on how laughable that is. The micromanagement gets down to the fine tune point of whether you log a meeting or a call within an hour. -They have completely saturated the market with reps and still expect growth, and will make you feel bad about it. -I’ve seen them place their absolute best reps on performance improvement plans (i’m talking shooting wayyyy over their numbers) because they had 14 meetings and not 15. -Above all, in the treats and joys of Charlie Health, is the innate toxic positivity that is so insanely hard to digest it makes me physically ill to think back on it. Everyday better be your best day or you WILL hear about it!!!
