Pros

The employees are/were (before the layoffs) wonderful people to work with.

Cons

Executive leadership does not answer or even acknowledge hard questions during company calls. The leadership team isn't receptive to the feedback of their employees and have a mentality of a dictator - do what I say and don't question what we do. They keep chipping away at any benefits of working there. It is a healthcare company that continues to say we're setting the standard and yet they are barely average when it comes to market standards with their healthcare benefits and office benefits. Leadership, like many other companies, are forcing people to return to office under the guise of "creating a culture of learning". Its really because they overspent on a new office building in an inconvenient location and now need to justify their spend. Speaking of "learning culture" - they do not learn from their employees or from the changing industry. They keep regurgitating the same tag lines with not clear message of where the company is going. Their poor communication to their employees is creating a culture of distrust in leadership. Leadership is performative when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. They don't speak out about any of these issues in the media and barely address anything internally.

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?
