Pros

The “mission” is cool. Weight loss coaching is a cool topic.

Cons

The company is going down a horrible path with AI. They took off limits off our panels because of AI so we are helping way more members with no increase in pay. My panel is over 350 people that I coach. Just today alone I have to send over 138 CUSTOMIZED messages 3 coaching calls, and I still haven’t seen how many cold calls I have to do. As a health coach you will never actually coach. You will have so much work that it will force you to use AI to do your job for you, so all day all you do is prompt AI then get on coaching calls with members. I used to deeply love coaching, but wow, I can’t wait to leave. If you don’t want to end up disliking coaching, this job is NOT IT. There are jobs out there that will pay you fairly and respect you. Virta acts like they respect you with pretty mission corporate talk, but when you come at them with concerns that are valid they just throw that same mission and how we need to just figure it out and work harder in our faces.

Pros

Remote working, having the ability to mute your microphone during waste-of-time propaganda meetings. Benefits for L&D, and work at home stipend.

Cons

Any role that is Member facing is treated like trash. When they post positions, the sum total has often been 2-3 million, with the absolute lowest salaries being those helping Members. That says a lot- but then again, it's a for profit healthcare company, so that says it all. Every meme/satire or TT you've ever seen about toxic corporate workplaces are made because of places like Virta. Every manager, associate director and director share skillsets with snake-oil salesmen of old. They talk and you're aware they're using poor manipulation techniques that just give you the creeps. Nothing matters. High performers, low performers, those who have second jobs who don't even do their job- doesn't matter. You're all the same to them. They'll find a carrot to try to dangle- like 3 percent peanut butter raises. They abhor internal promotions, so it's a dead end job, no matter how much you demonstrate your value with metrics, skillsets, education, and experience. During hiring they sing a song about promotions, growth, new company, yadda-yadda, but it's all a lie. There's no communication between teams, and tribal knowledge rules. The left had has no idea what the right is doing. It honestly feels like a money laundering operation for people who know directors to get insider jobs. Run.
