Pros

The mission is strong and the product will likely be successful.

Cons

The cofounder publicly shames underperforming individuals, stating once that children were dying as a direct result of a team's performance and threatening to fire team members as his LinkedIn inbox is filled with other people that are eager for the role. Hiring practices are discriminatory, for certain teams, executive leadership will not allow people that were impacted by layoffs or have "open to work" banners on LinkedIn. Within my company tenure, the company turned over an Executive VP of Recruitment, Head of Recruitment, Director of Recruitment, VP of Strategy, VP of Commercial Strategy, Director of Growth Strategy, VP of Engineering, Chief Product Officer, Senior Director of Product, and countless managers and individual contributors. Performance expectations are unrealistically high, causing constant stress and a poor work-life balance. I've worked at other startups, and KPIs are between 3-5x higher at Charlie Health.

Pros

The pros are only visible when you first start but it feels like a bait and switch. Promises of flexibility, support and employees having say in changes in a new and upcoming startup fell flat.

Cons

This company seemed amazing when first hired. They let you meet everyone and give you a good grasp of the departments, although much larger now than when I was first hired. Not until a year later were the people that blew smoke about the company to actually say how they feel to me later. It was traumatizing as I now saw that CH was lead by fear from the top down. You will have very high KPI expectations and a lot of employees were let go or exited because of this. Retraining does not help as it is the processes that many have issues with. Genuinely ask yourself why so many have written reviews based on organizational insights and not in anger about one manager or director. This is a whole system issue.

Destroyed My Mental Health

Pros

Some calls really make your day when clients are appreciative of your assistance. The use of salesforce is very organized and easy to navigate.

Cons

There is no trust. You are literally spied on to ensure you are working. My supervisor told me once that they can see what I am doing REAL TIME at ALL TIMES. There are unrealistic metrics that are only met if you work over your scheduled shift times. When trainings are due, you are encouraged to complete them outside of your working hours since "we are salaried". This is a mental health company and they destroyed my mental health. They guilt trip you by saying things like "you are saving lives" to justify their ridiculous metrics. They have unrealistic checklists for calls that if followed will make each call between 20-30 minutes, but encourage you to keep calls under 12 to "maximize" your call volume and then berate you if you miss anything due to trying to get as many calls as possible. They micromanage so much you are expected to be on camera at all times for meetings and have to announce if you are stepping away to the bathroom like a child. I should be able to cut off my camera for 5 minutes to use the restroom without having to announce it in a chat so they know why. If this was an in person meeting, I would not raise my hand to go to the restroom, I'd just get up and go. So why is it different just because it is remote? They are quick to point out the bad but never the good. They'll listen to and track everything but only address you when there is a mistake or issue. This job gave me clinically diagnosed depression and anxiety and I am now on anti depression and anti anxiety medication and I could not even share this because they would not care.
