Pros

I love the people on my direct team and wellness fridays.

Cons

Leadership. Pay. Benefits. Leadership is extremely out of touch with their worker's needs. They make all decisions with their best interests in mind. For example, the CEO’s salary is 80% bonus so he’s excited that the bonuses will be paid out but that’s at the expense of the annual merit increases. Maybe I’m alone in this but I would rather have a pay raise than a one-time bonus that gets taxed at 40%. We also get to hear about the leadership team buildings and meetings that cost the company money and then they have the nerve to say “You should do it with your team!” With whose money? BHG is going to pay for my team to travel to Miami and do beach Olympics? I don’t think so. Nepotism is rampant here. If you haven’t been here for 10+ years, don’t expect to be paid fairly or be promoted unless your last name is Crawford or you’re married to one or dating one. Then it’s a direct route to Director of _. You'll hear it during the award ceremonies. "So and so went to school with my son and is so great." So that's why they're a VP? Because they're a friend of someone in the family. But don’t worry, the CEO sold his private jet and is flying commercial now.

BHG Financial Response
2y
This review is disheartening and does not reflect the BHG culture we’ve worked hard to create over the years. Since 2001, BHG has grown at an unprecedented rate, and this is not something that could have been achieved without strength in leadership, talented employees from all levels of the organization, and without embracing innovation every step of the way. Across every department, we pride ourselves in hiring top, quality talent who can bring their unique knowledge and drive to the BHG mission. In addition to prioritizing employee health and wellness (as reflected in the generous compensation, benefits, and perks we offer), we also make it a point to show our appreciation for the incredible work the team puts into every sale and project. This includes offering Wellness Weekends, a Recognition & Rewards program, remote work options, team-building opportunities, and so much more. With that said, it is the intent of the BHG leadership team to put together an operating plan that will allow the company and its employees to continue to achieve positive results. Like many other companies, we continue to face a difficult macroeconomic backdrop, meaning leadership must take into consideration many factors before making difficult decisions. These decisions are never taken lightly. As we move forward, we will continue to keep our employees at the forefront of what we do. Contact us at people@bhg-inc.com to discuss further.

Pros

Great work-life balance with the remote opportunities and wellness days every month when we get a free day off without burning PTO. The remote work is truly life-altering for those with families balancing school schedules, kids' activities or even just their own personal responsibilities.

Cons

None, but I can only speak for my department.

Pros

Good benefits. Flexible work. Wellbeing Day off, but that can vary.

Cons

There is a profound disconnect between the company’s public facing image and its daily internal operations. Echoing sentiments from other professionals on this platform regarding high attrition, the environment suffers from severe structural dysfunction that extends well beyond the sales departments. The onboarding process involved a substantial change to role terms and a clear misalignment regarding responsibilities, and schedule expectations. Rather than utilizing specialized skill sets to drive efficiency, direct management style relies heavily on rigid gatekeeping, hyper-restrictive oversight, manufactured urgency, moving goal-posts, and a distinct lack of role transparency. Attempts to address these operational gaps professionally are met with pushback rather than constructive conflict resolution and a lack of leadership support. The organizational hierarchy reflects significant titles that do not align with standard industry competencies, leading to an unsustainable environment for highly qualified professionals.
