Worst professional experience. Ever!

Pros

If you enjoy being part of a team and working for leadership with integrity, this is not the job for you.

Cons

Leadership for the San Diego team had no clue how to work with the government, lacked professional integrity, and seemed more interested in hiring friends than forming a team of qualified professionals. I'm not sure how a team is supposed to execute a population health program for the military and their families when most of the team had no actual health care or military experience - the team included "health promotion specialists" with finance degrees or experience teaching yoga. Not the right qualifications for improving the health of people with chronic medical conditions or risk factors for them. One of the few team members who was qualified and experienced was fired by being told her position was being cut even though someone else was immediately hired for the same position. Essentially, leadership lied to her. Management in San Diego also continually bad-mouthed the government client and other senior company leadership to the entire team, creating a toxic and dysfunctional environment. The focus of the team was continually changing and leadership seemed clueless about what we were supposed to be doing, how to work with government clients, or even how to manage a population health program. The sense of being part of a team was non-existent as the "team" rarely came together as a group (once a week for an hour or so was it), which created silos and limited the ability of the group to function to its full potential. I'm all for telecommuting, but it seems counterintuitive to do so when a team and a project are still forming. Never being onsite meant the team - that pretty much lacked in any military experience - was out of touch with the military population they were supposed to serve and didn't seem motivated to learn. Not sure how you're supposed to implement a population health program when you nothing about the population. Towards the end of my time there, the team was simply replicating the efforts of the already well established health promotions department - redundancy at its finest.This entire project seemed to be a waste of taxpayer dollars and I wouldn't be surprised if the contract doesn't get renewed. This was truly one of the worst professional experiences I have ever had. If you truly want to make a difference in the health of military beneficiaries and be part of a cohesive team of skilled professionals, find another job.

Horrible Leadership and Structure

Pros

None. Stay far away and look somewhere else. As another has stated, "worst professional experience ever" is certainly true, and I completely agree with the honest negative review that was provided...it was perfectly stated.

Cons

Horrible, from SD leadership to government client which trickles down to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the team. Avoid if all possible.

Pros

I love working for Venesco. Senior leadership is focused on growth & employee engagement. My local management is a true champion for our program and for every employee on the team. She is always seeking out opportunities to develop our skills and support us in any way possible. With her leadership, we have been able to produce, innovative, and much needed products to support health promotion efforts on the local command that we work with. Our team has been given the opportunity to bring the military's health promotion efforts to the 21st century to match leaders in the healthcare industry and we are producing fantastic work! Its truly exciting to be working for Venesco on this project and to have the opportunity to support the military in this way. I have worked in several different professional fields and work teams and I enjoy this team the most, I attribute this to management's ability to hire professionals with diverse backgrounds, dynamic personalities and the ability perform at a high level despite any challenges that may come our way.

Cons

Government inefficiency can slow projects at times. Unfortunately, many government workers have limited or no experience working in the civilian sector and lack perspective when presenting new ideas or ways to challenging the status quo to make products or systems for efficient & effective. Technology within the government systems can also limit innovation ability.
