Pros

There are many good hearted people that work there.

Cons

In my entire work life, this is literally the worst company I have every worked at. It starts at the top. The CEO prioritizes personality and fealty above professionalism, expertise, competence, achievement, and accountability. I have never experienced the type of dysfunctional leadership that I did while at Mindful Health. If you work for this company, you will hear the word "culture" thrown around continuously. " Culture" at Mindful Health is code for, does the CEO like you and do the people she likes, like you. Imagine firing a director level employee because, "none of the other women liked her," she didn't fit in with the "culture." It's the epitome of surrounding yourself with bootlickers and "yes men." It is a culture that, by the time I left, had a 47% turnover rate. That should tell you everything you need to know about the company culture. Mindful Health is a company where your work history, expertise, and opinion have no value. If there is any thought that you will work at Mindful Health to do what you're good at, disavow yourself of the thought. Since the CEO knows all, you are merely there to extend her work capacity. As long as you curry favor with the CEO, you can be put into any role regardless of your ability to perform it successfully and regardless of how many mistakes you make. From her own mouth, she has repeatedly stated that she would take a hard worker any day over someone with a impressive resume. She is totally oblivious to the idea that there are hard workers who also have impressive resumes. So, if you're the kind of person who's willing to suck up to the CEO in order to mitigate your lack of skill, accountability, talent and other professional shortcomings, Mindful Health is the place for you.

After reading this review, I want to understand if this is Mindful Health located in Heath, TX? If so, I want to extend my sincere apologies that this was your experience here. I just became aware of this review by happenstance. As the owner, founder and CEO, I can tell you that I do have a philosophy that I would rather hire someone with a good work ethic over someone with just knowledge because knowledge can be taught but it's often hard to teach a work ethic. And yes, there are individuals out there that have both. I can also tell you that I've never fired someone because they weren't "liked" by others. I believe in giving people all the tools they need to be successful. If someone is fired, it would need to be something related to performance and well documented. We have never had a 47% turnover rate which is why I wondered if you might be confusing us with Mindful Health Solutions which is a different company. I would love to understand more about your specific experience if you were indeed an employee here because I never want someone leaving with this kind of feeling. My email is jwood@mindful.health and if you are willing to have a conversation with me, I would greatly appreciate it. This company is very important to me as are our Mission and Values. I do my best to live them out and encourage our leadership to do the same.

Pros

The culture of everyone works for the best interest of the client is something rarely seen. Feedback from all levels are taken into consideration, the CEO loves what she does and I believe shows that.

Cons

No 401k matching incentive but the company is still growing.

Pros

This is the first company I have worked for that truly lives by their mission statement.

Cons

The growth away from the home office is not always visible. But upper management is responsive and acts when issues are brought into light.
