Pros

- allows you to work within the mental health industry - Gives you exposure to insurance, EAPs, benefits from different companies - 1 hour for lunch as a salaried employee - Gives you OT opportunities (at times throughout) the quarter

Cons

- Major gaps in professional support and training: none of the training are done by certified mental health professionals, large gaps of knowledge are missed, clients are later impacted. - Lack of professional development: once you're in a role with LH, there isn't anywhere else to go. Leadership will post "training" opportunities, but there is never any concrete assurance that there'd be an open role within that developing team. - Poor recruitment strategies: We hear from many of our clients that they do not have any mental health providers in their ENTIRE STATE. Other than refer them, yes the client themselves reach out and tell providers to onboard, the LH recruiting team is very lax and does nothing to advance better mental health offerings in rural areas and in rural states. - Lack of support staff/mental health trained staff.

Pros

Good benefits, Remote work, friendly colleagues willing to provide additional support

Cons

The company is clearly ambitious in its goal to become a leader in the mental health industry, which is admirable. Unfortunately, that ambition often comes at the expense of the wellbeing of its own workforce. Customer Success Managers are consistently stretched beyond sustainable capacity, with leadership citing “business needs” as justification for dramatically increasing account loads without corresponding compensation adjustments because the company is not yet profitable. What has been especially discouraging is the inconsistency in compensation transparency. Employees were encouraged to transition into higher-revenue customer segments with the expectation of increased compensation, only to later be told those moves were considered “lateral” and therefore not eligible for pay increases — despite repeated messaging that compensation is tied to the revenue size of a Book of Business. This has understandably led to low morale, burnout, and a growing lack of trust in leadership. Management frequently acknowledges workload concerns and states they are working toward better processes, yet teams continue to absorb increasing responsibilities with limited clarity, evolving expectations, and ambiguous workflows. Employees are often expected to independently navigate new processes without adequate guidance, while mistakes are met with criticism rather than support. The result is a culture where pressure consistently outweighs psychological safety. It is disappointing to see a company built around improving mental health struggle to meaningfully prioritize the mental wellbeing and sustainability of its own employees.
