Pros
-Salary is fair. -Depending on your department, the work schedule is good. -Workplace inclusivity. -CEO was great. Too bad that doesn’t trickle down to ops and marketing.
Cons
-Ops and marketing management and executives. They often very clearly do not know the field to the point that it’s disturbing. Don’t expect them to answer important questions like “what is my budget?” or “when do you need this?” or “can we meet about this?” in any sort of timely fashion, if at all, no matter how many times you ask. -Product inclusivity. You can expect the execs and management staff to answer questions about your target demographic, and they know exactly which cultures they think are only filled with poor people and which ones aren’t. -Benefits. You’d think as a government entity, this wouldn’t be the case. If you do work for them, do not use the in-house health plan. Yep, the one you are supposed to be marketing. It’s not awesome and you cannot get out of it but once per year (you read that right) to join another plan. -Product reliability. The medical field hates VHP much more than the average health insurance company and many doctors won’t even take it. VHP often will deny payment even when a client jump through their many disorganized hoops. If they do pay, it takes months. This might be the most important reason to look for work elsewhere. Because so many doctors and medical facilities are pushing back against even taking this plan, it would be shocking if VHP is still in business in 5 years.
