Preaches Integrity, Practices the Opposite — Don’t Be Fooled - Enrollment Advisor Brave Thinking Institute Employee Review

Pros

Outside of management, some team members genuinely care about the clients

Cons

Don’t be misled by the glowing reviews — most are written internally to bury the real feedback. The truth is, this company is built on false promises and exploitation. They dangle six-figure income potential, but once you’re in the door, you’re pressured to buy into expensive ‘leadership’ programs that cost tens of thousands per year. Refusing makes you ‘not a fit’ for their culture. Turnover is through the roof, aside from the family members who run the show. Even the interview process is a gruelling, drawn-out waste of time — designed more to wear you down than to evaluate your skills. Save yourself the energy and avoid this place entirely

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re truly sorry that parts of your experience have been disappointing, however we’re glad to hear you’ve also experienced genuine care for clients from some of your teammates. We do want to clarify that employees are never required to purchase programs. In fact those programs valued in the tens of thousands of dollars are provided at no cost to our team members! Your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to learning from it as we work to better support both our team and our mission. If you’d like to share more directly, we’d welcome hearing from you at hr@bravethinkinginstitute.com

Pros

Peers and management deeply care about individuals and the impact you want to make on the world. I received nothing but love and encouragement throughout the entirety of my time serving at BTI. I was always able to take off when needed for personal things (family, trips, mental health, etc) and my compensation was great! The culture requires a growth mindset with an open heart and it’s wonderful if that’s the right fit for you. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for working here and leaving (for reasons not relevant to this review) was a difficult decision due to how amazing my experience was.

Cons

Lots of softwares / tech stack could be more consolidated, (people who aren’t tech savvy could struggle a bit) BUT the admin team are extremely responsive and helpful.

Pros

Some coworkers are friendly, and that helps make the day a bit easier.

Cons

The experience is horrible overall. No professionalism at this company. They seem progressive by hiring a lot of young people, but the work environment is very toxic. Time off is very limited, and benefits are poor, it's hard to rest or plan time away. Meetings include unnecessary and uncomfortable activities. Managers and upper management show favoritism, especially toward certain people, which creates unfair treatment. The way they make decisions on employee matters is so biased. Many processes feel outdated, and there is little effort to improve them. Your manager will only reach out when you're under-performing. Employees do not want to speak up about anything not working well as management will not take any constructive feedback well. Also, if you do not fit in, be ready to get fired. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.
