VillageMD reviews

Top leadership is primarily lead by this weird metaphor that VillageMD is an NFL team. They use this metaphor to rationalize riding employees into the ground for 1-2 years before burning them out. They sincerely feel employees should view working at the company as the greatest privilege ever bestowed on them. Leadership can’t take in any negative feedback because they feel everyone is lucky, nay blessed, to be at Village (like if you grew up in TX and made it to the Dallas Cowboys, ‘Who are you to complain?! Such insolence!’), This NFL concept is discussed frequently, openly and passionately. They do not understand why it is not motivational for the rank and file. The company has gotten multiple huge cash infusions but none of that has trickled down to the underlings. The boys club at the top are the only people with equity. There’s no spirit of teamwork or collaboration across teams. It’s a cutthroat environment.

They are burning out employees and have a high turnover. They acquire all sorts of practices and then move on to the next one without caring for the practices they just acquired. Sure, they have a 5 billon dollar contract with Walgreens but they don't pay people equally for doing the same job.
