Pros

Work from home Great people to work with

Cons

The patient panels per coach are now around 350 patients per coach and growing nonstop, resulting in burn out. Compensation is stagnant and any increase is a joke.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Virta. We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. Virta’s Health Coaches play an integral role at Virta in reversing diabetes and we recognize that while this is rewarding, it can also be challenging and demanding! We’ve committed to regularly surveying the team to better understand where we can provide support and based on feedback from our coaches, we are partnering together to improve our processes and tools. We are also expanding Health Coach input as part of the change process, and increasing education around Virta’s compensation approach. What we are doing here at Virta – reversing diabetes, preDiabetes, and obesity in 100 million people – is extremely hard to do and we couldn’t do this without our amazing team of Coaches. We are committed to investing heavily in process and product developments along with continuous training to improve every Health Coach’s experience. We are proud and constantly humbled by the impact of our Coaching team and always looking for ways to improve. We want to ensure Virta is a place where every team member can do their best work!

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.
