Pros
-Most people (director level and below) are among the hardest working, smartest, and most selfless colleagues I've had the pleasure of working with. -Stipends, Summer Fridays, unlimited PTO, and other perks made the work-life balance top-of-the-line -Most DE&I speaker events were well researched, well sourced, and those in charge of them did their due diligence to ensure these events were managed sensitively.
Cons
-Whether it is external or internal, every complaint people have about VTS can be attributed to one thing - a lack of direction. At a high level, major business decisions (acquisitions, layoffs, etc.) seem to happen on a whim. At a lower level, these shifts that are seismic to some director's teams simply aren't communicated or well forecasted. Client facing and objection management became increasingly challenging due to a lack of internal resources. -Everyone above the director level sees everyone below them as expendable and treats the wider team as such. -Commercial Real Estate is volatile and your success depends on the industry's success
