Pros

Culture here is great, fun team and laid back. Fun team outings. If you’re looking for a great place to have fun this is it but you won’t make a ton of money here.

Cons

Commission structure isn’t very good. There are better structures at other firms. Not a lot of people know who Vaco is here in Denver so it’s hard to get business here. Basically a start up here in Denver still. No book of clients given once you start like other firms. No 401k match until your 2nd year and it’s not that great. Really hard to make decent money here. Not a lot of upward mobility.

Pros

GREAT work environment at Virginia State Police. Pay is good. Better than most contract employers for benefits. Supposed to get a bonus of a week's pay after 1 year and some paid holidays at that point. Best thing is getting to work on projects in AWS.

Cons

Requires 4 days a week on-site. No OT allowed. No pay for holidays, sick days or vacation. VITA requiring me to get a PMP, even though I was told I did not need one for the role.
