Pros

You genuinely get to help others at a very real and raw level. Decent training. The community of coaches and support within is phenomenal. Pay is okay for coaching. You don't have to do your own marketing. Access to Dr. K's guide. You get to set your own schedule, truly, and only do the types of coaching that interest you.

Cons

No benefits. You have to pay 100% of your taxes, as it is not taken out. They take an estimated 49% of what clients pay for personal coaching, depending on what tier coach you are. This is supposed to be getting better in the next year No cost of living adjustments. No stock options or buy-ins. No room for growth after Master Tier. No accountability from Admin - they hide behind the idea of 'independent contractors' to avoid helping coaches get better. Metrics are used as a reason to fire coaches and coaches with approval ratings of 95%+ have been fired recently. Contracts are 6 months. Admin are demeaning, condescending, and gaslight coaches into believing we are at fault for the way they treat coaches. There is absolutely no support from Admin when clients are high risk and no helpful protocols for such situations. Put short - it's a corporation like any other. There is no job security, and Admin does not communicate in a considerate way.

Pros

I work on the HG Institute side of the company and absolutely love it! The team is flexible to work with and really cares about me as a person. I've really respected the work the whole Healthy Gamer team has been doing to achieve accreditation for their courses and require certification from their coaches.

Cons

No specific cons to name. There are some normal growing pains with building teams and differentiating responsibilities, but everyone I've worked with has been open to positive communication.

Pros

Most people here genuinely care about helping people—especially gamers and people who don’t feel like they fit into traditional mental health spaces. Lots of support for coaches! You make your own schedule Leadership is super accessible. You can actually talk to the admin team or the CEO without going through a bunch of layers. They definitely don’t always get things right, but they own it when they mess up and usually try to improve things. They’re always respectful and professional, even when they haven’t exactly been shown the same courtesy. Honestly, they take tough feedback better than most companies I’ve worked with.

Cons

The platform itself can be frustrating at times. It doesn’t have the same ease or polish as others I’ve used, and that can slow things down. Things are still developing. Processes and communication can feel a bit disorganized or unclear. Client flow can be hit or miss, but you can keep clients for a long time! No 8 weeks and then they're done. No benefits since it’s a contract role, so you’re on your own for healthcare, PTO, etc.
