Vizient reviews

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?

Unfortunately when you work your butt off, you are rewarded with more work to pick up the slack for the constant org changes and qualified colleagues leaving the organization. It doesn’t matter how much you accomplish, the organization is constantly changing and goals become unachievable due to the lack of stability and bonuses are based on meeting company goals. Now instead of having part of our bonus based on individual contributions…the best we can hope for is that we might get an “award” bonus but I have the beeping once the company goes through the final “calibration”, most of us won’t get anything extra despite trying to compensate for poor policies, poor executive decision making and being overworked. Oh and by the way, if you are a remote employee, all career growth was stripped away with Byron’s mandate to be a “hybrid” company.
