Terrible work environment with minimal information provided and absolutely no support to do your job. The administration is slow and inefficient. Any simple request can take weeks or months.

No real training. They have some out of date manuals but even after you read those you still don't know anything.

Employees mostly care about themselves so even if someone knows how to get some administrative task completed they won't bother to mention it because they are busy trying to solve their own problems. Management seems to spend most of their time on day to day customer complaints so you won't get any guidance or help from anyone who has any actual ability.

You will probably never get any response when emailing a coworker, manager or support staff even to request something which is in their job description. For example, if you email technical support because your login does not work they won't respond. If you email the manager in charge of a resource you need to complete your job you won't get a response.

The best strategy in this job is to learn as much as you can since it is very difficult to complete actual work assignments. Use this position to get a job at a better company. Don't waste more than a few months here.

My whole experience at vistra as an contractor. They wanted me to come in and be the PCI and SOX manager. But had an manager over me who didn't give me no information on anything. Pretty much just gave me an computer and was like find your way. But there was and PCI analyst who never communicated anything to me. Neither of them been through and PCI audit but never gave me the information. The communication was awful what they wanted but didn't give me the tools to get the job done. Then they say i can interview for the position but wasn't going to tell me i wasn't picked so i could find another job. They wanted me to stay so i can pass along the information to the next person.

The Leadership culture from upper management is fantastic and light years ahead of other companies.  The problem is the next level of leadership preaches it but doesn't live it.  HR is worthless, never available when you need them, and has perpetuated itself by having their incompetent hands in everything.  If you are lucky enough to have a manager who believes in the culture being fostered by upper management it's a fantastic company to work for.

I was part of the Market Transactions Team, working Inadvertent Gains and Losses.
Conduct investigations into the cause of the IGL',s by reviewing enrollments and locating Third Party Verification recordings.
Made billing adjustments, as needed, and billed accounts to current or final billed them.
The people I worked with are the best.
The best part of my job was knowing I was making a difference in customer's lives, that I was available for them with any and all questions they might have.

Enjoy everything about working at Vistra, except the Open Concept is hard to get used to.  Wish they had kept headquarters in Downtown Dallas.  The commute is very hard on a great many of the staff, now that they have relocated to Irving.  The management and people who work here are extremely good people!  Very helpful and will listen to suggestions.  The company offers many benefits and provides a fun atmosphere.  Very people oriented company.  Exceptional place to work.

EFH to Vistra Transition was rough. The Sr.Mgmt at Vistra is now better thanks to the CIO. This industry on the power generation side is volatile but retail side they do really well.  IMHO many in Sr.IT mgmt didn't really understand the business well enough to support them. The idea of "outsource" everything is expensive in every which way. Comp is one of the best in DFW area but opportunity for advancement is limited. Generally speaking, one should be careful with this industry overall. 

Overall company take pretty good care of employees. Recently company has heavily focused on DEI and ERGs and they border promoting segregation and division (counter to what they preach). Culture has suffered a tad due to this. 

Culture is okay, heavily dependent on your manager and director, some groups are lifeless. 

Pay is okay….they say they evaluate market every year but somehow 3-4% merits don’t ever catch up to inflation so it constantly feels line your fighting an uphill battle. 

Where to begin. The people. The culture. The leaders... Leaders. 

The best people I have ever had the privilege of working with, I met here. I grew so much and so fast, I still have a way to go but what I learned there, I would never trade for anything else. 

If you desire working with strong leaders that are mentors and set an example you wish to live up to every day you go to work, look no further. I have been gone for years but I look back fondly to the days EFH was my home.
