Premier, Inc. reviews

No incentive to improve, little to few opportunities for vertical job opportunities, political, top heavy, always layoffs in Q3/Q4

There is a mismatch between the company's stated values and the kinds of behaviours that are tolerated by senior leaders. Most members of executive leadership came from consulting and apply the consulting mindset to the company as a whole (e.g. flying by the seats of their pants and approaching every activity as if it is a new consulting project that requires a new way of doing things). That is fine for some parts of the business, but much of the work needs discipline and structure and a commitment to developing some deep routine operational structures. In addition, executive leadership has a high tolerance for bad behavior, bordering on abusive, from senior leaders. The latter is one example of the values mismatch -- the CEO prides herself on being employee-focused and invested in creating a positive culture. But then she tolerates incredibly unprofessional (and unproductive) behaviours from her leadership team. This is incredibly demoralizing for the staff, many of whom are expected to be available 24-7-365.
