Pros

Casual attire. It won't last long.

Cons

Turnover, turnover, turnover! Take my advice do not waste your time. This is the most unorganized company you can work for. Ask them what your training will look like. It's non-existent. You are setup to fail. If you are wondering how they have some good reviews it is because they get there employees to go on here and rate them.

This is Susie, president of Vitamin T. I've enjoyed over 16 years of casual attire, and we have a robust training program, including a highly interactive 6-week program, a formal week-long in-person training in our Boston Headquarters, and an annual $8,000 tuition reimbursement plan for ongoing life-long learning. I would welcome an opportunity to talk to you about your experience and perceptions: 323 475 7374 or shall@vitamintalent.com.

Pros

the support and collaboration of the team is endless. i have never felt so connected to a team that is completely remote. everyone is in it 100% and the motivation, success, and support is contagious. work-life balance is amazing!

Cons

none that i can think of as a con...just some growing pains but the pains are all positives.

Love this! I'm Susie Hall, president of Vitamin T, and I'm so glad you're having a great experience her - though I'm not surprised given how awesome our NY team is! If you think of things we can do better as we work out those growing pains, I'm all ears! You can find me at 323 475 7374 or shall@vitamintalent.com. Thanks for your review!

Marketing team AT Vitamin T? Don't do it.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, benefits package including 401k match

Cons

-Starting at the end of 2014 they decided to eliminate the majority of their marketing department. Talented individuals with fresh ideas and admirable work ethic were let go because the company decided that a marketing focus wasn't a top priority anymore. It is comical to see that team being built again knowing how many times they have done this over many years. My advice - if you work in marketing and have an offer with Vitamin T (Aquent), do not take the job. There are better opportunities out there that will invest in YOU and your professional growth. -Senior management plays an active roll in everything marketing related and will act as a subject matter expert in areas where they shouldn't. If you're looking to bring a fresh approach to this company, this is not the place for you. That may last for a couple months but you'll eventually be an order taker.

This is Susie Hall, president of Vitamin T, and I'm very disappointed to read this. As a point of clarification, the Vitamin T marketing team has remained almost exactly the same size since 2012. We've had a copywriter (who has been with the company for 20 years), a marketing manager, and a social media specialist dedicated to our brand. So I'm not sure where your data is coming from? We have definitely utilized both internal and external design and additional copy resources, but then we are a creative talent agency, so that is likely not surprising. We have also worked with brand-shared resources with Aquent, in Boston and other cities, and the overall size of that marketing team has fluctuated over our 30 years in business. I would encourage anyone reading your review to contact me directly with questions about Vitamin T marketing, as I have built and managed our team since launch in 2011: shall@vitamintalent.com or 323 475 7374. I'm sorry that your personal experience here made you feel like an "order taker", and I'm of course happy to talk to you as well about ways we can improve the experience for others.
