Amazing team Rewarding cross functional work Interesting tasks Learning opportunities Flexible work schedule

As this is a contractor role, there are no benefits

Oh how I loved the work of this job, meaning, I LOVED coaching the employees. BU has a great platform as well for scheduling, etc. The work is all virtual, which is great.

They just don't pay enough. They only pay for the 45 min session you are scheduled for with a client. No time is reimbursed for sending resources after, reschedules, progress notes after session, aka the other required part of the job. Without compensation for admin, a very high hourly contract rate quickly becomes very little, especially when you factor in that you pay all of your own taxes and expenses such as tech/wifi, etc. I simply could not make this job work for me despite loving it because of the low pay. Also, I attended an in person coaching conference in Austin, TX and the leadership had a weird vibe, like, we should be so lucky to be allowed to work for BU.
