Pros

Paid medical benefits are nice

Cons

If you are not willing to push everything in you life aside for BHG then you will not be successful or respected at this company. To make that crystal clear there are posters in the offices detailing the 9 traits of success at BHG, two of which are "Dosent know the end of the day" and "Personal life sacrifice." There is no respect for any work life balance, you are expected to make BHG the number one priority in your life. Ownership also makes this clear at every monthly meeting, telling everyone how lucky they are to work there and if your not a "runner" (code for workaholic) then you should leave. The place is so utterly disorganized, no one knows what will happen the next day. Projects are either on fire or no one cares. Dates are arbitrarily made up then dumped on the teams that actually do the work with the expectation that everyone will work 70hr weeks to get it done. People are fired constantly with no warning and there was an ever present fear of being fired at any moment. It was a common Monday morning question of "Hey where is so and so?" "Oh they were let go on Friday". Couple that with the mass exodus of people voluntarily leaving the company for the reasons above plus a litany of others, most of the company technical knowledge is gone. In addition to all of the toxic leadership and poor operations, the company walks an ethical grey line by selling high interest personal loans to people that are disguised as commercial loans so they can avoid reporting the loans to credit agencies. Then almost immediately they turn around and sell those high interest loans to banks at a quarter of the interest rate and pocket the difference. I do not see longevity in this business.

Thank you for recognizing BHG for our generous, fully employer-paid medical benefits. As you noted, our CEO is communicative during company-wide meetings. He is often heard telling people to take vacations, work out during the day, and build in breaks in order to avoid burnout. Turnover is something the entire US is experiencing at unprecedented rates. If you google “the great resignation,” you will find many articles on the topic. As for the “grey line” you speak of, we are 100% confident that our processes and systems are not only compliant but rise above that of our competition. We have created a stable of on-staff former federal examiners, with over 100 years of collective experience, in order to ensure best practices. It appears while in your role on our product team, you were not well informed on our loan processes. We are sorry that our relationship wasn’t mutually beneficial, but we cannot agree with the misinformation you have posted on this review. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

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.
