      Pros

      freedom, independence, comraderie, ability to manage your own schedule, training, perks, the corporate management guys are some of the most fun, energetic, and motivating men I have ever come into contact with. Any Vaco event is sure to be a party. This company clearly embraces the "work hard, play hard" philosophy.

      Cons

      risky to take a commission-only position after being on salary

      Pros

      Vaco has a great culture, very collaborative and fun is the best way to put it. There is no micromanagement but results are important. Training has improved immensely and high performers are supported. I've had a great initial experience working at Vaco and plan to be here for a long while. Management treats their recruiting assets with respect and there is a great opportunity to work with some of the best professionals in the recruiting field (not one of the the biggest, but absolutely one of the best groups of anchor partners).

      Cons

      Vaco made a seemingly less than optimal choice with its ATS system/strategy which hampers usage in some locations; the good news is that a new ATS is being rolled out in 2014. Marketing in general (website and collateral) could be stronger.

      Unprofessional.

      Pros

      Benefits were pretty decent. Office location was nice.

      Cons

      They have no idea what they are doing, the lack of leadership is abysmal, sure they will send you out to Nashville and give you a good time and pump you up. But once you get back and get that first paycheck, if you are low on the totem pole....quite the shock. Don't try to give ideas or suggestions. The fear that you know might know something more than them, scares them and they will shut you down; was glad to get out.
