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, 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 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 Anthem Blue Cross, along with access to company-subsidized 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.

The office vibe is business casual with flexible schedules and the freedom to work from home in bunny slippers if that’s your thing! 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!
