Friendly team and remote work, but overall unstable - Anonymous employee The Financial Gym Employee Review

Personal and professional development opportunities

Constant change of direction can be discouraging and hard to keep up with

The company's mission—to make personal finance knowledge accessible—is admirable and necessary. Coworkers are supportive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The camaraderie among staff is one of the few bright spots.

There is no work-life balance. You are expected to work 60+ hours a week on a $60K salary, which is made clear from the start in an attempt to weed out those who value balance. Leadership often makes poor business decisions and then deflects blame onto staff. There's little accountability at the top. The company has been financially unstable for years. Despite this, it continues to pitch itself as a “startup” in an effort to secure more funding, though the business has been around long enough that this is no longer a viable excuse. The rate at which they let people go is concerning. There were layoffs every six months when I was employed. Promises of growth and development opportunities are often unmet due to constantly shifting priorities and a lack of clear direction.
