VSP Vision reviews about "employee"

Management is garbage and careless about employees

Does the minimum required by law. For instance, as someone who lives in a state that isn't California, I get 6 weeks short term disability for maternity leave and my California colleagues get 18 weeks paid disability. The company is unwilling to treat everyone equal by expanding the best program to all employees, despite anyone who lives outside of CA voicing the inequity. They also seem to find ways around paying out their incentive programs. I once referred a colleague to an opening at VSP and because my colleague did not click on a specific link to apply, the company would not honor the referral fee. I have been there for 5 years and every year seems to have a major restructure, which results in job losses and ambiguity.

Nothing that another large organization wouldn't have: silos, occasional bureaucratic leadership, ect. But like I said, they really are adapting and focusing on breaking down barriers here.

60-70 hour work week plus saturdays Work during holidays # of employees per manager disproportional No accountability

Seems that moving up in this company involves a little favoritism, or just depends what team you are in.

Management in some areas is terrible, resulting in toxic working environments, with little to no trust, where employees are treated like children instead of skilled professionals. Very little autonomy or empowerment. Technology is extremely antiquated and the backlog of tech debt is astonishing, which severely limits the company's ability to operate efficiently and be competitive. Change is laborious and very slow to be implemented. So much potential and opportunities are lost as a result of the company's inability to recognize the need for changes and then act on making them happen. Pay is well below industry norms. Quality of the employment benefits declines every year. Healthcare benefits get more expensive every year, with no added value. Little to no career advancement opportunities for most employees.

Benefits could be better. They have increased the amount of PTO for 2023, and the new medical plan for 2023 is better than the previous year. However, they don't offer paid maternity leave, PTO takes awhile to build up, and dental insurance is not cheap. Also, there's no room for advancement. Most people at VSP Vision have worked there for 20 plus years and they haven't changed roles at all. So if you work here be prepared to stay in the same role for awhile, unless you decide to move internally to another team or department.
