Run From This Coaching Company

Pros

As an employee, they give you free coaching

Cons

Nothing is private. They demand to know everything about you in a cult-like fashion. They then share all of your personal information with EVERYONE. Not even celebrity information is safe, Look up narcissist in the dictionary, and you find a picture of their founder, Lauren Zander. If you work for the Chief Marketing Officer, you will surely be abused - mentally and emotionally. She is lawsuit waiting to happen. I have never experienced a boss as cruel as her. She may be mentally ill. If you value yourself, you will never approach these people. RUN AWAY!

We respect our former employee’s opinion and are sorry for the negative experience that they had while in the employ of HG. Our company has a unique culture of transparency and honesty, which may not be suitable for everyone. In addition, please note that our former CMO has moved on from her position and a new individual now occupies that role.

Very high turnover place

Pros

Mostly friendly staff. Remote work location.

Cons

Founder/CEO is wildly unprofessional and has unsustainable and unreasonable work demands. She needs higher, relevant education about this line of work. The chief marketing officer has a lack of knowledge in the area and has an unstable, jealous attitude, where she routinely belittles others. HR hires, only to fire a short time later; employees are set up to fail, with unrealistic guidelines.

We respect the opinion of this former employee. Please note that our former CMO has moved on from her position and a new individual now occupies that role. Also note that the former employee appears to have confused the role of Founder / CEO into one, these are actually two separate individuals. Handel Group does have a unique company culture of team and individual accountability, and we believe in stretching ourselves to meet ambitious goals. This culture may not be a fit for every person.

Great Mission, but demoralizing

Pros

Great mission. People care about what they do. You get to own your piece of the pie. Method is a good tool.

Cons

Demoralizing. Leaders are harsh. Accountability is a mantra of the company but then it gets used against you. People are berated publicly. And then are asked to have a sense of humor about it. Issues/failures could be handled better and more professionally. Direction changes all the time. It impacts the bottom line and morale.
