Pros

Strong ESOP/retirement - company value has increased pretty much EVERY year All employees receive communication about company direction, new projects, finances, etc. There are regular meetings, mailings, and collaboration intranet pages to keep everyone informed. IT department responds quickly to issues, keep employees outfitted with fast, newer laptops, and provide plenty of training to avoid viruses and phishing issues. Fun team builders such as ski club, hiking club, book club, pickleball, street hockey, walking meetings, etc. Cafe on site with tasty, healthy options for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. High-quality, locally roasted coffee available all day (grinder, coffehouse-quality brewer, airpots). Hybrid on-site/work-from-home schedules, low cost preschool on site. Cross-team pollination happens a lot; teams and people do not work in a vacuum, Fresh local bagels on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Cons

Entry-level position pay may seem low. Total compensation with benefits, ESOP, and perks are very, very competitive though. Open office cubicles can be noisy at times, although they do allow for easy quick collaborations.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback. We are so glad to hear that you appreciate VIP’s open communication and collaborative efforts, team building activities and office perks! We’re really proud of the advancements we’ve made in the last few years with our New Hire Orientation program, our “Friday Shoutout” emails, our new Intranet space, etc and it’s wonderful to hear that they have been well-received. We also love to hear a callout to the ESOP (our Employee Stock Ownership Program), and definitely agree that the company contribution in addition to our health and lifestyle benefits make our total compensation package extremely competitive. We also really appreciate the advice with regard to newer employees. We know there’s a lot to learn in the first year and it can feel overwhelming at times, but we want everyone to feel like they can participate in our culture and enjoy all of the benefits that make for that healthy work/life balance, from day one and throughout every step of their journey at VIP.

Pros

Pay has gotten much better and standardized for programming positions within the last few years. Benefits are good, including an ESOP that usually does really well in year-to-year growth. The company has a lot of good things for people who want to make a career there, including a heath center, daycare, and an ESOP that can be a huge chunk of your retirement if you stay for a few years. Other pros include: Good gyms, street hockey, and basketball during breaks Onsite cafe Hybrid WFH rules are generally up to each manager, and many are willing to figure a system that works for both the team and worker. Good location right off I-89

Cons

There was a lot of resistance to modernize both company policies (Only recently did they dilettante between different levels of Software Engineer, post-Covid return-to-office was a huge push until they reversed course) and the tech stack (a majority of the programmers on one half of the company are working in RPG). While there are efforts to modernize their web tech, the distributor side has continued to lag behind industry standards to a worrying degree. Other minor cons include: Cubicles (I did not mind them, but others might)
