Pros

Really talented, amazing, and genuinely nice people. You work hard but the work is great. Very strategic. Good vacation time and salary. VSA is making changes in offering more leadership training which is great. Overall this is a great place to work.

Cons

Some growing pains in management organization and desk space. Three-up desks in open space format are rough. No 401K matching. No summer Fridays.

Not one happy day in NY

Pros

You get nice healthcare, and depending on your project, you can have a life outside work.

Cons

The NY office differs absurdly from Chicago, so be careful when reading these reviews. There is so little project variety that they will stick you wherever the need is, and leave you there. Any requests will be agreed with, then ignored. Efforts at integration, both on an office level and with their main client, had been ongoing failures. Be careful where they put you, or you will be treated like the faceless company profit machine you are. I've never worked in an office so unwilling to spend money on employee happiness, and so apathetic about prioritizing cultural growth inside the office. About once a quarter, there would be a meeting insisting that things were about to change, but they never did. Also, the disorganization was astounding. One simple question would either be ignored or sent on a chain of six people with zero answers. On top of all this, my work was dominated by the client, which led to bad results. Nor was I permitted to show that work in my portfolio.

Pros

Design is king; extremely talented, smart and fun people; high-quality work; good benefits for a design agency; competitive pay; growing agency; slowly improving work/life balance. VSA is very very good and loyal to those who have either started their careers here or have been here for a long time. Managers vary but mine were great about protecting the team and making time whenever you needed to talk. If you're lucky, you will get to work on some really fantastic accounts. They are sweat shop/boot camp if you will, but they have a system in place that enables them to do really great work and make a lot of money doing it.

Cons

Even if you come in with a few years under your belt and work hard to prove yourself, you will not see any sort of promotion for a few years. Management is stretched very thin and is constantly changing (since the company is growing), so you get shuffled around a lot which means no one has been consistently monitoring your performance. Great projects and opportunities go to the same people/teams pretty consistently. Project managers are a redundancy and act like gophers instead of articulately advocating for the team. Client expectations are sometimes set in such a way that teams get completely demoralized.
