Pros

Compensation and the ability to work from home

Cons

Everything else: This position is marketed to you as a fantastic opportunity, it is a trap. You are told in your initial interviews that this job is a finance role and you will be speaking to clients and helping them with their financing needs. You are put into a two week learning and development training period where you learn all of the ins and outs of the company. From there, you start live on the phones with no form of start to finish training on how to actually take applications and do the job. You are taught to lie to people, you are taught to tell people what they want to hear, and then you are taught to take applications for people that aren't even qualified for a loan, but will make it through to funding with a 30% interest rate. The 'coaches' don't give you any sort of transparency, they lie to you just like you are taught to lie to your customers. They will tell you that you are doing great, but in all actuality they just want to keep working you like a mule and not giving you any commission no matter how much money you fund the company. The company as a whole is an evil money making machine, they don't care about their employees and they definitely don't care about their clients. If you want to be a sleazy salesperson and work for just as sleazy managers, take this job. If you actually care about your mental health and don't want to work 14 hour days including weekends, stay away. Also, you don't get any PTO or benefits for this 'temporary' position. If you have any sort of family life or care about having your weekends, you're out of luck. As upper management will say over and over again, 'if you are not a runner, we don't want you here". So essentially, if you aren't willing to sign your life away, you might as well quit because they don't care about people who don't work 60+ hours a week.

"Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are very concerned by your feedback, especially that around BHG Runners. BHG Runners are passionate about what they do and ""run"" not because they have to run, but because they want to run. Our Sales Academy is a highly competitive team that offers a different sales environment, as they are not required to build their own book of business, and are evaluated over the course of 90 days for full-time employment. Due to a high demand in our product offerings, many Sales Academy members choose to work longer hours to convert leads and see the benefits of that time spent in the form of a larger paycheck. We wish you the best of luck in your next opportunity and if you have further feedback to share with us, you can reach us at people@bhg-inc.com. "

Pros

BHG has been a great place to grow my career over the past five years. The combination of strong leadership, a supportive culture, and continued investment in employees makes it a place I’m proud to be part of—and I look forward to continuing my journey here for years to come. Outstanding People & Culture: One of BHG’s biggest strengths, its people. My teams are collaborative, supportive, and invested in everyone's success. The environment makes you feel valued and motivated to do your best. Strong Leadership: Leadership at the top demonstrates commitment to the company’s success and its employees. Investment in Employees: BHG genuinely invests in its people, whether through tools, professional development, or embracing innovation. This focus helps employees grow which directly strengthens the company! I love this! Benefits & Perks: The benefits package is competitive and well-rounded. Wellness Fridays are a standout perk and show that the company prioritizes work-life balance and employee well-being.

Cons

Dynamic & Engaging Work: Its a fast-paced environment, but it keeps things interesting and provides opportunities to grow and work on impactful initiatives that drive the business forward. Sometimes this can lead to rework, or multiple people doing working on the same things. i.e.: Borrower Portals.
