Pros

Some of the good: - VHA has positioned itself to be a true industry leader due to its current merger/acquisition activity - In general, people here are very friendly and knowledgeable. - Corporate offices are nice - Pretty generous PTO policy - Good 401k match - You can wear jeans every day if you choose to do so - Nice on-site gym (membership required) - Depending on your department, you can pretty much come and go as you please.

Cons

Some of the bad: - Horrible high-deductible health insurance policy. I would expect much more from a company known for its contracting ability. - Constant change. We've spent all of 2015 dealing with the UHC merger, and nothing ever gets settled. Lots of layoffs, so don't get too comfortable. - Massive duplication of effort within the company. At any given time, there might be three teams working on the same type of initiative and they won't even know about each other. - Innovation is a buzzword, but this company is NOT innovative in the slightest. - If you're in mid-management, your title doesn't mean squat. "Like your office? Tough. Go grab the empty desk by the trash can." - Leadership is totally full of it about values, people, blah, blah, blah...but hey, isn't that the norm? - No willingness to invest small amounts into day-to-day projects, but will spend billions on mergers and acquisitions or consulting. And we DO consulting, for Pete's sake. - It's all about who you know and who you work for. Politics, baby.

Pros

Good company culture from c-suite down. Genuine care for employees as people with families. We work hard and the vast majority of coworkers and leaders are fantastic.

Cons

In 2025 Vizient fully restricted virtual employees from being promoted and from making any lateral moves. All impacted employees were hired BEFORE this policy was enacted. I was hired at the beginning of 2021 as a virtual employee with the expectation of occasional travel for on-site team and project/client meetings. Now, with the forcing of all employees back to the office, they’ve also restricted virtual roles. Prior to this policy enactment, we were NEVER told our roles could be restricted one day. Now, if we want to apply for lateral or promotional roles we have to move to a city of Vizient’s requirement (Dallas/Chicago primarily). This is extremely unfair. Families can start and roots put down in 4 years. Now, if I want or am recommended for a promotion I have to unexpectedly and without any prior expectation set, uproot my family and our lives to a congested city so I can commute 2-hours roundtrip to be in the office THREE (3) days a week as required by the in-office requirement and take VIRTUAL CALLS from a cubicle. Nothing about this is fair or makes sense. Even with employees being required to be in-office, they just stay half a day or less. Why do this to everyone? Are you planning to lay off all virtual employees?
