Pros

Work from home... (not worth it anymore)

Cons

A word of warning if you're considering joining this place - things aren't what they used to be. They just axed a lot of solid performers right before the holidays with barely a word from leadership (they did the SAME thing in 2023.. I guess us who stayed trusted the lies we were fed...again). Basically "profits over people" is their new motto. This used to be a top workplace in NY, but it's gone downhill fast. The recent changes are brutal - they've slashed 401k matching to a laughable level, killed bonuses, and kept "restructuring" commissions annually at a minimum (spoiler: you'll make less money each time and have a larger workload. My commission has been restructured 7 times in 5 years!). There's also plenty of nepotism going around and everyone at the company knows it. Salespeople especially beware - they'll have you grinding through low-quality leads while paying minimum wage for your first 90 days with no commission. After 90 days the floodgates of terrible quality leads open and your commission will be a peanut. But don't worry you'll be told that "you can work your way out of it" and the lead distribution team "is working on it" (they've been working on it for 5 years for me!). Don't expect much support from upper management - they're notorious for keeping everyone in the dark. Middle managers have it rough too, constantly having to deliver bad news without any real explanation from above. The whole culture has shifted from valuing employees to treating them as disposable. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. If you do join, just know what you're walking into - a company that's more focused on short-term profits than building a solid team or taking care of its people. ...(Queue the canned HR damage control reply below)...

This review contains multiple inaccuracies and does not speak to the commitment BHG Financial has to our employees, customers, and culture. While we're open to hearing feedback, we don't feel that your opinion accurately reflects the pulse of the company. We strongly encourage you to utilize resources within our People Development Department or to connect with your direct manager. Since 2001, we've placed the BHG team at the forefront of decisions while ensuring our company remains in the best possible standing to continue pushing towards success. Thanks to tough but effective budgeting, we did not have major layoffs before the holidays this year unlike many other companies. We've pushed through tough climates and feel that we are now in a much better place to move forward together as a team, all while creating a healthy environment for everyone at BHG. In order to be successful, our company has had to be nimble, and we appreciate all of our employees who have adapted to the changes. While our benefits have changed over the years, we stand behind our competitive offerings. We understand that our employees make us the company we are today, and we are incredibly proud of those who come in and continue to row together as one team every single day. We truly believe that every employee has the choice to show up and give their best. As mentioned earlier, we recommend reaching out to our PD team with your concerns, though we'd like to note that most of the comments from an employee of your tenure are not applicable. Please contact us at people@bhg-inc.com so that we can further discuss your experience.

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.
