VSP Vision reviews about "pay"

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

Lower pay compared to other companies

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.

Pay is not equal to others at the same level. New hires are paid more than employees that have been there 10 yrs. Some managers make less than people they manage.

Pay is below market. 401k profit sharing is nice, but base compensation can definitely be improved.

Disorganized Leadership with very poor communication

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.

Lab closed due to upper management decisions.
