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.

Pros

-Lots of training opportunities -Can choose your own hours (within what group times they have available) -Lots of encouragement and ideas for how to run the groups themselves better -An opportunity for yoga professionals to offer their services in a clinical setting -The company felt way more collaborative and human when I started 2.5 years ago.

Cons

-No opportunity for pay increase or upward mobility as a group facilitator -An AI bot grades you on how you are doing your job, and if you aren't preforming well you are automatically signed up for "coaching" which involves lots of extra meetings to improve skills (regardless if you are already competent at the skill being taught). You aren't actually assessed for what is resulting in these poor metrics by a human, it seems. Even if you are 1% under their target number you get downgraded into the bottom tier of group facilitators. I had an AI bot in my session for literally 1 minute before a client requested it be removed. For that 1 minute the bot was in the session it graded me poorly and affected my metrics negatively. -Every time you talk to a supervisor (GQS) it feels like you are talking to an overly enthusiastic AI bot. It seems like they have scripted responses for any question you have, and the responses don't actually solve any problems and there is nothing you can do about the flaws in the system other than deal with their consequences and capped hours. -I rarely interact with other group facilitators. -My supervisor gets changed so often I don't have time to really connect with them or get to know the team I'm on.
