And potential and former customers sang a similar tune
The company has a rating of 2.4 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
One person said: “This was not a good experience… the sales pitch is aggressive and certainly borders on predatory. I almost promised a package but got cold feet when it felt like I was talking to someone selling me an internet package and no coaching on the field of mental health care.
“I’m glad I withdrew because I read reviews from former employees and they didn’t look good and also highlighted the poor wage pressure to sell and fire and that they pay Prince Harry over a million dollars a year and he seems like a mess so I can’t imagine what that money is for. It could be better used for staff or lower the price.”
