Pros

I truly believe in the company's value prop and I really enjoyed the free coaching I received as a perk. Overall, the benefits were great.

Cons

They say they wanted feedback, but they never actually implemented any rep's input. It was a shut up and dance culture masquerading as egalitarian. Senior leadership clearly had a lot of vision, but they were more interested in org theory than actual execution. There were droves of beautifully written essays/memos/value statements by the founders, but when it came to actually putting any of their lofty ideals into action it just didn't happen - in fact, usually the exact opposite happened. It was a company run by academics, not legitimate operators.

Pros

I have enjoyed coaching a number of members here over the years.

Cons

Too many to name… they really seem to be on a downhill slope when they have to keep repeating that many coaches have low workloads now but it’s because they have changed the business strategy… they do have coaches tagged to that new strategy but it’s mysterious how they got those opportunities… they like to hide behind the idea that the algorithm makes decisions on workload but that’s BS to an extent.
