Vera Whole Health Reviews

Pros

Stays focused on their mission as well as their values. Really invests in their employees personal and professional development. Genuinely cares about their people and their clients. Job benefits and pay are getting better every year. Lots of opportunity for growth. Flexible work environment for non clinical roles. Very supportive and fun work environment.

Cons

Fast paced and can feel unorganized sometimes. It requires a type of person who loves being self motivated, innovative and adaptable. It's not a perfect company but one of the best I've seen for sure! And they are CONSTANTLY doing everything they can to grow and improve.

Pros

Vera's team from top to bottom has unified goals. As a lower level employee I felt like my opinion and skills were valued by everyone I interacted with. I applied for Vera due to their mission but felt it was too good to be true. The interview and training process confirmed that they actually care about their mission and are following through with it - which is atypical to healthcare.

Cons

Probably common for a growing company but I feel ownership of certain tasks is hard to determine.

Pros

Opportunity to work with smart, fun people that care about trying to do the right thing. Culture that assumes positive intent and supports rapid improvement through taking risks. Ability to make a big impact if you invest your skills and energy.

Cons

Competing priorities and frequent change can leave people feeling pulled in multiple directions or stretched thin.

Pros

The people I work with are amazing. Corporate is open to listen to the employees. The company is growing fast and there are opportunities to grow within. Corporate wants employees to uphold their values and mission so they have created an 8 hour “training “ session to instill it into employees with the hope that each one will make a difference and spread the joy per se. I love that. The benefits are great.

Cons

They are working out “cons” as they grow. I’m confident that corporate is listening and doing their best to tackle cons along the way.

Advice to Management

Give gratitude where it is due. People who feel valued will always do more. Please listen to your employees feedback with ongoing issues, to help resolve them. Communication is key.

Pros

Coworkers, mission, values, flexibility, empathy is the core of the company and I've experienced it first-hand. A lot of growth and opportunity to move to new roles or create a new role to use your skills. On a personal note, I had some health issues in 2018 that required me to be out of work for 4 months and they were beyond accommodating to me - my back to work schedule was flexible, eased back into full time... over many months, allowed me to work on easier projects until I was up to speed, very supportive of a remote work culture. The way a company treats its employees says a lot. The most supportive company I've ever worked for and I cant say how appreciative I am for their flexibility during this time. Thank you!

Cons

Not a con, but a lot of growth and change happening now. Vera is doing everything it can to be open, transparent and communicate changes to employees. All companies experience growing pains, which some employees cant manage well and may be better suited working for a smaller org. I'm excited about the growth.

Advice to Management

Communicate, communicate, communicate. Over communicate if needed as changes are happening quickly and while leadership may be aware of the details, front line employees need to be kept in the loop as much as feasibly and responsibly possible.

Pros

Variety of populations, challenging and fun work flow, great fellow coaches

Cons

Ridgid scheduling, needed more autonomy

Advice to Management

Allow coaches to determine own schedules and work from jome

Pros

The company is very transparent and truly cares what their employees think and want. Great leadership. Best salary I've made as a Coach. I love their philosophy.

Cons

They are working on better benefits. At least we are now able to utilize our own health centers for most health care.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing! I feel heard and cared for!

Pros

Vera's core values of mindfulness, continuous learning and innovation promotes a creative work-space for self starters. The company provides an environment that fosters growth, both personally and professionally. The heath coaching benefit given to employees and the clients they serve is excellent. Vera values their people and that is evident with how thoughtful the people development and recognition programs are.

Cons

With growth comes change, that can be uncomfortable at times. If you don't enjoy leaning into discomfort and growing from it, Vera won't be the right fit for you. If that sounds exciting, come along for the ride!

Advice to Management

Keep our company culture alive and thriving, it is powerful and deeply meaningful. Keep welcoming feedback and growing from it.
