VISTAGE EMPLOYEE LIFE 

Vistage’s success is anchored by a unique culture that reinforces employee commitment to the Vistage mission. It is a spirit of collective success and achievement which is also reflected in our workplace. Here’s a sample of the employee experience that helps drive our success: 

• Welcome to our home. Our US headquarters sits in the heart of San Diego’s UTC area. It features an open, modern aesthetic with lots of collaboration spaces and opportunities to interact with co-workers. We stay fueled up with free snacks and a weekly free lunch day, along with free lattes and nitro cold brew coffee on tap! From our San Diego base, we collaborate with colleagues based across the country and around the world. 
• We sweat the details. Our on-site gym is decked out with Peloton bikes and other top-tier fitness equipment to keep your workout challenging and fresh. Our campus also offers access to an additional gym, volleyball courts, and a scenic office park, perfect for getting in those midday steps!
• We invest in your career. Each employee has an actionable career progression plan developed through individual collaboration with their manager. We focus on promoting from within, and employee progression plans are complemented by all-staff development days held in our state-of-the-art learning center. Employees also have access to tons of individualized development resources and a generous tuition reimbursement program. 
• We invest in you. Our employee benefits program is one of the most generous you’ll find. Fully-paid healthcare is provided for employees through Aetna, along with access to dental, vision, and life insurance coverage available to employees at very low rates. Take care of your financial future with eligibility for 401(k) matching funds after your first month as an employee. Use the free individual investment counseling we provide to help you grow the money you’ve saved. You’ll also start with 16 days of paid time off + 12 paid holidays per year to allow you to relax and recharge. Employees receive additional annual paid days off based on tenure. 
• We keep it fun! Whether you’re with us in the Padres luxury suite enjoying our summer baseball outing, unwinding during an employee happy hour, or toasting your co-workers at our epic annual holiday party, you’ll see that we take having fun as seriously as helping our members succeed! The office vibe is business casual with flexible schedules, along with the freedom to work from home three days per if you so choose! We value mutual respect and laughter . . . we hate stiff formality. You’ll have regular access to Vistage executives—our CEO even buys everyone doughnuts to fuel his informal employee chats! 

Vistage’s culture and sense of mission drive employee loyalty: more than half of our staff has been with the company for five years or longer. Are you ready to start your Vistage journey?
