Coworkers great.

Pros

Immediate coworkers are nice. Catered food. Work from home* - have to have reasons or look at cons.

Cons

Management favoritism is rampant* - work from home, rule breaking, etc are all monitored but ignored if you are favored. Account coordinators and managers are a mix bag of literal maliciously incompetence or really good. Everything is monitored and you can't do or go anywhere without micromanaging. The second you are on site someone in higher management is watching and likely looking at the time. While many techs are decent or excellent, there are a good amount of bad techs and you will need to hand hold for upwards of 3 hours or more. Be prepared to also have to simultaneously answer management, PMs, PCs, and more for every minute past a certain point. Some bad techs will verbally abuse you and you can't do much about it. Don't bother trying to be friends with other departments. You will find it's all clique. Don't expect recognition, you will never be rewarded for a good job and will infact likely be told to do more or work harder. Do not expect a good raise. Even worse when unfavored. Do not expect to go on lunch at the time you are given, nor expect to leave on time. Outside of your immediate team, expect that you are going to have to solve issues with potentially solving issues you are neither equipped to deal with or paid fairly for figuring out/recognized for your hard work. Expect to stay at your position. There is no guarantee of career progression. Progression requires management backing and can still backfire due to company hiring higher positions from outside rather than internal. HR is non-existent and could even be looked at as hostile depending on how you see it. Your work is never done, and must treat this like a glorified retail job. You must hit quotas that become more difficult to achieve as time progresses and when you are done, you are once more expected to do more than needed.

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience working at Vector Security and for your positive and constructive feedback. We appreciate your acknowledgement of our wonderful team members and the flexibility of being able to work from home. While you did mention some cons, these are items we wish you would have brought to our attention while you were working here so we could have done a thorough investigation. We will, however, share this information with the leadership in Gainesville as we take these reviews very seriously. We wish you the best of luck to you in your future.

Too many changes

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Not many pros in 2025. I guess a pro is if you’re good you can do whatever you want. As long as you are putting up numbers managers will leave you alone. New managers take a while to “train” to leave you alone but if you complain enough they either leave or give in.

Cons

Many changes to pay have a lot of us in Sales leaving. A lot of new rules, horrible commission. I will loose a lot of money by staying.

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Glassdoor. In January 2025, we introduced a new sales compensation plan which drives sales and allows our sales team members to financially control their income through new residential and commercial sales. Whatever you sell, your income is unlimited as long as you are driving new sales and providing the customer service experience our current and future customers come to expect. If you have questions regarding the new plans please reach out to your HRBP or General Manager. Thank you again and we wish you many more successful years at Vector Security

Thank you for working at Vector Security for part of your career and also for recognizing how much support you got from your teammates. "Win as a Team" is one of our company values and glad to know that your teammates took that guiding principle to define their behavior on the job. We are sorry that you feel that the incentives and pay were low. While we do run lean in some areas, we do make sure we are working with our compensation team to ensure we are market pricing all jobs in line with security companies of our size. We have made significant progress over the last several years offering competitive compensation/incentive as well as adding the Win Together Bonus. We wish you the best of luck in your future and thank you again for this review.
