Pros

Lunch was good and it was free. Also, the hourly wage was damn near double the average in the area.

Cons

Not sure how to start... lack of direction, supervision, leadership, procedures. I suppose that's enough of a good start. If you do the minimum you're good if you do more than that you have now set an expectation for yourself and you will suffer the consequences of not maintaining this. If you are in tight with supervision you might be safe but the group of "cool kids" shifts rapidly so who knows. If you work here it's best to not trust anyone, keep your head down, and do only what's asked of you but always have an escape lined up because unless you have have the title of supervisor your are expendable, I've send people's with 2 to 16 years get bounced, loyalty means nothing. Lastly, don't buy into the whole "vg is a family" crap... people you barely know will through you under the bus if they even think it could benefit them.

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
