Vizient reviews

Hard to criticize a company I like so much, but here goes. I would love to retire from here, but it is very difficult to get promoted, and my career has stalled here, so I can't linger. Not much transparency in the career development/promotion process right now, however that is changing (as a response to employee feedback), so it may get better soon. Culture is so "nicey-nice" that people avoid having necessary difficult conversations, resulting in people not being held accountable for results and being able to "glide by". Your experience with Vizient is HIGHLY dependent on what department you work in. The culture is not consistent across the Enterprise of companies, nor from department to department. I happen to work in a department where the leadership team is more in line with the corporate culture, so my experience has been positive. HR department is a bit stodgy and inflexible. If you have an issue and contact an HR representative, they sound as if they are reading to you from the employee handbook instead of trying to understand, make a connection and genuinely help you. Try to steer clear of HR as much as possible; they're not bad people, they just seem to lack empathy sometimes by being so "by the book". IMPORTANT: Negotiate your base salary carefully, as merit increases and bonuses are tiny, and Vizient strictly enforces salary caps.

Everyone here was overworked and stressed. Many people had physical illness because of their workload, etc. Though 40+ hours isn't required, you can't avoid working over 40 hours. If you don't, you won't ever be able to manage your workload. Also, your workload is unmanageable. Yes, even IF you work 40+ hours.
