I worked for BHG for a short amount of time. I happened to see all of the accolades online and decided to see what the “hype” was all about. I found a position that I thought was going to be an incredible opportunity for my career and applied and was hired right away. I wish I read between the lines, I wish I did more research, I wish I listened to the reviews on Glassdoor, and I wish I never ran before I could walk.
Yes, insurance perks are amazing and extremely helpful in general and during a pandemic, so I will give them that credit. Unfortunately, that credit is taken away because in order to enjoy insurance perks you have to be able to withstand some ridiculous expectations within certain departments. I constantly found myself working crazy hours and my “ideas and work” never being good enough for what was wanted, criticized, and changed. I was praised by other employees in the company and on my team but never from my boss. There was a very, “this is my department and no one else has run it before except me” attitude and was constantly belittling me through emails and on video calls. Also, don’t expect HR to ever side with you or play fair in your fate because they are all chummy with the departments and they will belittle your work ethic and anything you try to stand for. The “PMA” or “positive mental attitude” slogan is something they choke down your neck because they spend majority of their time trying to emulate Google and Microsoft. These are prestigious companies who have proof of their success and not just by local magazines or one big time magazine they pay to be in. The employees genuinely respect the company and the company appreciates the employee. Also, BHG is constantly letting employees go to post their job description online again and choose someone that could be a better fit. Owners spend majority of their time focusing on the sales aspect and not partaking in the other departments and their well being.
Just know you’re in for a very inconsistent ride when working for this company. Ideas are not valued unless you’re “in” with higher management, a lot family members work for the company and carry the high titles, extremely long hours on weekends and when you should be able to log off and cook dinner for your family. Awards are repetitive, favoritism is blatantly obvious, don’t ever expect fairness or assistance from HR, and know just because something looks shiny and new, there could really be rust at the bottom. I’m glad I actually can see other reviews now and take them for what this company truly is because although I couldn’t save myself, I can possibly save someone else.
