Pros

They had a roof over your head while working.

Cons

Misrepresentation of pay. Base salary of 35k actually had to be paid back out of earned monthly commission. I paid $2500.00 per month back to the company. It was a counterproductive commission structure. Demotivating to the very type of person they count on for success/revenue "SALES PEOPLE". Also in a world of companies striving to accomodate work/life balance they refuse. No working from home even though this is a Phone only shop. The industry is a cookie cutter business for mobile workers. They don't trust or empower their employees. It is like working for a company from the dark ages. They have a click from the olden days that run the newer CEO around. It's like Obama and Congress... He can't get anything passed. There are no growth opportunities and they don't consider themselves to be a Growth company. It us like everyone there is on their way out. Minimal motivation to excel and management is completely out of touch with employees at all levels. Worst job ever!

Pros

Hard to say with the current state of the company. VISTA used to provide a great career option even if just a stepping stone into similar industries but now it's pretty entry level at all levels with little to offer. You'll meet some great people working there.

Cons

Every team (and the overall company) is in a continuous state of flux with no clear understanding of where anything is actually going. Wrong people in leadership roles driving the business into the ground. Company morale is extremely low. VISTA used to have a great presence in the market place but no longer has a great reputation and you will experience that in the business you conduct with clients and providers. Extremely long time to ramp up (if ever) in any role with a very small percentage of people (honestly, maybe 1 %) actually making good money. Lots of turn over. Salary is low for industry standards and the gross profit commission structure is confusing and in some positions will draw on your salary to determine how much you take home. It's taken the company years to try and implement a working CRM and it's still not up and running. Company culture is very much a management team versus the rest of everyone else mentality with hardly any transparency with endless meetings all day. A lot of the management are people who have been there for a long time who have some very dated approaches to the business or people with no experience in the industry and may have been a manager at some point in their career. You might end up teaching your manager how things work. Experienced a lot of managers who don't treat their people well and are pretty abusive and saw a lot of turn over just from that. Training is terrible and ran by people who have an outdated view on the industry. Reporting in the company is messed up over all and the metrics they use to determine how people are doing cause people to be counter productive. Some managers are pretty over your shoulder and micro managers. The list really could go on and on... It's kind of sad though because VISTA used to be great prior to being acquired a couple of times.

Pros

The people on my team became my best friends. They are amazing and supportive and still see them all the time.

Cons

CHRISTIAN RUTHERFORD MADE A HUUUUUUGE MISTAKE! Once acquired by EMCARE (which he consulted absolutely no one about, we found out after it happened in a meeting where there was an audible gasp by the crowd in disappointment) everything went down the toilet. I always respected him until this point. I felt that he did it more for personal gain especially considering all teams had a better relationship with their competitor TeamHealth (which in the end they threw us to the curb) it was to hard to recover from all of my doctors that were working outside of EMCare and had to move on. The money wasn't there anymore and really they made you pay back your own salary anyway out of your commission.
