    Cons
    Virgin Pulse

    Return on Investment
    Virgin Pulse
    • No ROI other than if the people chose not to use it, then the company saves money.
    • [I believe] it causes people's personal information to be disseminated without any concern.
    • [In my opinion,] they are not willing to help ever.
