Pros

Free lunch and a decent snack program

Cons

I found that Vivint doesn't understand what it takes to execute on technology. The leaders will make promises totally out of sync with reality, then ask team to execute which is essentially setting up the team for failure. On a separate note, the career growth and promotional track is extremely random and difficult to capture. There are very few examples of people getting promoted in Vivint and the ones that have, would be hard pressed to prove their worth except to having connections in the leadership outside of work. In my years at Vivint, I saw several good performers leave because of this specific frustration. A lot of politics is tricked to IC level with the acquisition and leadership is blank on the company direction. We want to do one thing one day and everything else the next. All in all, I wouldn't suggest taking up a job here unless you are out of options elsewhere.

Pros

Great company, lots of perks! The schedule is consistent; busy and slow seasons make the work predictable. There is always something to do, so if you like to stay busy, then this position is great for you. The team is relatively small, so everyone is close!

Cons

No growth opportunities. Seems like the 1Stop department in general gets pushed to the side; there is no recognition for the work you do.
