Pros

There are good people who work there trying to make a difference. Unfortunately the culture is do as the CEO thinks and says and don't bother sharing your opinion because it doesn't matter.

Cons

Even though the groups are "independent" the structure of a holding company makes it very difficult to survive in these difficult economic times. Each group has to give up there best people to work on CEO projects, give a percentage of the revenue to support the management structure of the holding company and it leaves little left for the group to survive. The management structure is too hierarchical and the reporting structure is not effective.

Pros

Great culture, good people and room for advancement if an opportunity opens up. Top leadership is excellent.

Cons

A smaller company that has to compete with a of the 'bigs' in a tough market. Still, they do what they do very well.

Pros

Some great people are employed here and work hard. This was once a great company with a wonderful culture.

Cons

This is not a place to be hired at right now. The company is focused only on the shareholder and has not looked out for their employee's since Mo Gauthier took over as CEO. VSE is not an employer of choice and is in the midst of layoffs that may make their shareholder's happy but will not keep them in business. Mo continues to blame the economy instead of himself for his poor choices and lack of business acumen.
