Disappointing Experience—Toxic Culture and Lack of Support - Clinical Outreach Manager Charlie Health Employee Review

Pros

The Mission: Wanting to help end suicide and promoting mental health for at risk youth and now adults up to age 50.

Cons

The mission of this company is compelling on the surface, but unfortunately, the internal culture tells a very different story. Turnover among Clinical Outreach Managers is extremely high. Many have left or been let go due to unrealistic expectations and a lack of genuine support. Despite promoting mental health access externally, the company fails to support the well-being of its own employees. The work environment is marked by favoritism, fear-based management, and a lack of psychological safety. Inconsistent support across regions leads to inequities in resources and outcomes. Some territories are better equipped with more clinical staff, broader treatment options, and more payer sources, while others are expected to hit the same metrics without comparable support. Leadership is aware of these discrepancies but does little to address them, instead telling employees to “make it work” regardless of structural challenges. The handling of parental leave and caregiver needs is particularly troubling. Requests for flexibility are often denied, and efforts to be transparent about challenges are met with performative empathy that does not translate into real accommodation. Promises are made—but not followed through. Terminations without warning or performance plans are not uncommon. For a company that positions itself as a leader in mental health, it is concerning how little care is extended to the workforce tasked with delivering on that mission.

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.
