Great First Stop

Pros

- Takes a chance on young up and coming professionals just out of university - weekly training sessions and one-on-ones to address and develop individuals - Tons of resources available to be successful in your role - High volume of work allows you to develop your time management skills - Great co-workers, everyone gets along well

Cons

- Low base salary in comparison to the market, and low vacation time - Some managers are not as responsive as others, and can come across as arrogant and unhelpful -Repetitive work everyday - keep track of how many calls you make throughout the day makes it feel micro-managed - Not the best work life balance - told if you don't work overtime (which you don't get paid for) you won't be able to make a lot of money and sometimes get made to feel guilty when you don't due to other obligations outside of work.

Great company to work for!

Pros

-One of the biggest pros is that it is not micromanaged... they truly work under the "just get it done" mentality, so as long as you are, you are allowed to succeed in the way that you choose to with not much resistance! -The work / life balance is amazing and they keep to their word to always uphold this piece. -I have gone through many life changes in the 3+ years I have worked with Vaco and they have always been caring, concerned, available, and supportive with anything I have ever needed. -The people who work in this office are considered my 2nd family, without a doubt. -Truly a work hard / play hard environment. -The office environment is open and inviting, across all teams. -You have access to literally every single tool that you could possibly dream of, and a few you didn't even know you needed, to be as successful as possible.

Cons

- There isn't a standardization of processes across the company, where each office can function completely different from the next. It hasn't caused problems, that I have seen, but would be nice if something more consistent existed. - In the Dallas office, there isn't a true process for training new hires. For someone that has previous successful experience in recruiting, this is a nonissue, but I have seen it be a bit of a struggle for some of the more junior new hires. Fortunately, the teams / teammates come together to help train the new folks that may need it. It would be nice if there was something more structured in the way of training for the more junior new hires. - Sometimes there is some inconsistency in how similar issues are resolved, which can be frustrating at times.
