Pros

Decent amount of daily freedom. Dogs allowed. Gym, kickboxing classes.

Cons

-Mostly younger millennials that are offended by nearly anything. -Mostly college grads, who know NOTHING about construction or the trades. -"Be Yourself" is total BS. It's "Be Yourself, unless other people are around". -The week long orientation is a wasted week. Real training in process and system would be more beneficial for those not versed in the basics of the trades. Lucky for me, I have loads of experience. -Trying to Branch out to fields other than paint with less than knowledgeable PPs and PMs is a terrible idea. -Open Door policy is a joke. They don't care, they just want to see the bottom line. High turnover and pissy office staff usually means you're doing something wrong and need to listen to your employees -Cut the Rah Rah crap and actually live it. We can all be bosses, but leaders do instead of telling. -Definite HS drama feel.

Pros

Welcoming environment with leadership that practices what they preach. Friendly and motivated employees create a culture of working hard, cheering each other on. Hard work is financially rewarded! Ethical company that has a solid reputation with homeowners they serve.

Cons

Parking can be tricky especially on concert days (close to the Junkyard) but if you get there early enough there are plenty of spots. All parking is free and I feel safe. Super close access to I-25.

Pros

Vivax is literally the best place I have ever worked, by FAR. I cannot say enough good things about this place from an employee standpoint. I have never felt so supported, seen, cared for, and motivated in my life. This place is special. They care so much about each individual employee and their success at this company. They are actively trying to promote those that work hard. I am excited to go to work every day. Not only are the leaders so caring and supportive, but my co workers hit the same bar. Everyone is in it for the team and making sure everyone is taken care of. We have so much fun and it motivates me to work hard for them and their success, as well. I see myself at Vivax for life and cannot wait for the future here. Working for good people that you care about and feeling like you are making a difference makes such a difference in enjoyment at work.

Cons

The parking situation could be better and I do wish the benefits were cheaper but I am thankful to have them. I do also get burnt out because being an SDR is draining in a lot of ways, but the team and management always keeps me going.
