VSP Vision reviews about "opportunity"

Working remote has diminished the culture and ability to have appropriate work life balance. With a distributed workforce, you're expected to be online or available from 8a EST to 6p PST. Additionally, the compensation package is lackluster in comparison to other orgs in the area/industry and each year it seems to be smaller and smaller- while we are more profitable than ever, we get 'brace for impact' messaging that reinforces the fact that our comp will continue to diminish.

Pay is to be desired at times Lack of promotions Bad management within InfoSec Horrible HR Multiple months to be hired Bad policy management HR only desires to hire outside California, including all engineers

Low pay, minimal opportunity for growth

Some coworkers are hard to get along with. Strict numbers quota.

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.

Lack of opportunities for advancement Base salaries are lower than industry standard HR roadblock for promotion and advancement

Moves very slowly Entrenched thinking limits innovation

One downside is large companies means more processors to get minor things done.

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.
