Pros
The work itself is intense, but watching how it pays off in clients is really inspiring. Lots of flexibility in scheduling if you want to work at peak client availability times (evenings and weekends).
Cons
Coaching is emotionally intense, you do not get paid for the emotional toll it may take on you. If you need assistance yourself, contract work means you have no benefits. It is contract work that starts at $20/hr. This means you may make less than minimum wage once you factor in taxes. The company is only interested in your initial training, funneling clients to you, and receiving data through client surveys. They do not show interest in coach perspectives. They have twice increased the cost of coaching, reflecting none of that price coach pay increases. The administration seems to have interest in burning through coaches then hiring new talent to replace those who quit or drop hours because of burnout and lacking support. The atmosphere very much feels like a natural selection pool, where those who are resilient survive, but those who aren't get discarded.
