Changes in the last couple years have been detrimental to company moral and productivity

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good products, nice office, good fair benefits. Smart hardworking employees that care about the products.

Cons

Little training, expected to multitask everything, cookie cutter micro managers following practices of larger companies that have not had the same success. Owner doesn't seem to care who is fired. Employees are a dime a dozen. Most of us are looking to get out. Lots of pointing the blame on one person to save oneself.

Horrible work environment and demanding leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

I was able to work with some talented people, but they all left because of how horrible of an experience working here is.

Cons

The work environment at Vista Higher Learning is one filled with stress, hostility, and misery. Leadership sets unrealistic goals for us to meet, and refuses to listen to any feedback from employees. They couldn’t care less about our well-being and believe it to be perfectly fine if we’re overworked. If we fail to meet their unreasonable expectations, we’re yelled at for being incompetent. A lot of talented people have ended up leaving the company because they refuse to be exploited and abused.

Pros

I had a really good team and direct manager who looked out for us. Bonus money was good when I hit my goal.

Cons

I was forced to go into the office for no reason other than butts in seats. Goals got unattainable and management pressure increased causing my anxiety to skyrocket. It became unmanageable and I got afraid to resign as vista is suing many of its former employees.
