Could be worse, Could be a Lot Better

Pros

- Lot of friendly, hard working people - HR is very responsive - They mean well - Flexible COVID response in terms of physical work

Cons

- Ambitious goals are often set, without any additional resources to meet them. - Upper Management is highly disconnected and demanding without feeling involved, like a parent upset at their children's grades but doesn't help with homework or go to teacher conferences. - Lots of disorganization. This company expands by acquisition, yet is terrible at integrating new teams. You'd think they'd know what to do after nearly a dozen of these. - If you're not sales you're not important. And if you are sales, the pressure is on. - The company understandably took measures to limit costs during the uncertainty of the pandemic, including freezing wage increases. Despite "smashing our sales goals" as management put it, wage increase were not reinstated in 2020 but instead they sent a couple gift baskets, and acquired another company in September. Doesn't send the best message.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We carefully consider all reviews to see where we can improve and continue to make Vector Solutions a great place to work. We are glad to hear that our remote working environment has provided flexibility for you during this uncertain time, and that our amazing team members have made a positive impact in your career here at Vector. Vector has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, and continues to take steps to see where we can simplify, streamline, and improve our operations as evidenced in our annual “Big Rocks.” Each acquisition brings about unique opportunities, and as there is no one-size-fits-all formula, we strive to focus our processes to be as efficient as possible. While Vector did take some steps to protect our team members’ job operations, we are confident that those actions allowed the company to remain stable and successful throughout the year while also setting us up for a strong start to 2021. The Executive Leadership Team addressed these decisions continuously and with transparency throughout 2020, so we encourage you to watch prior All Hands Meetings to review discussion. We are very optimistic that the precautions we took will allow us to move forward with planned merit increases and career opportunities this year.

Pros

-Nice little perks such as little gifts being sent to your house. -Able to work from home with a flexible schedule.

Cons

-Unrealistic sales goals that greatly increased during a pandemic, making it hard to make goal and receive bonuses. -Company recorded highest revenue in sales in their history, while stopping 401K contributions, blaming the pandemic. -Not offering raises to employees in 2021, yet goals still greatly increased. -Employees are very micro-managed -Leadership wants results without offering the help employees be set up for success. No tools provided to increase success.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback. We carefully consider all reviews to see where we can improve and continue to make Vector Solutions a great place to work. The health and safety and mental well-being of our team members has been a top priority during this challenging time, so we’re glad to hear that our swag surprises and flexible working arrangements have helped bring some positivity while adjusting to life during the pandemic. COVID-19 and the subsequent economic crisis forced many industries and businesses to pivot quickly and re-prioritize projects and budgets. Vector and its customers were no exception. While the company did take some steps to protect our team members jobs and operations, including a temporary pause to 401k contributions, we are confident that those actions allowed Vector to remain stable and successful throughout the year while also setting us up for a strong start to 2021. We are also very optimistic that the precautions we took will allow us to move forward with planned merit increases and career opportunities in 2021. Despite last year’s obstacles, many employees were able to not only meet their goals, but exceed them - it was great to recognize these team members during our National Sales Meeting in January. Speaking of NSM, our Executive Leadership Team and Sales Leaders spent a lot of time reviewing 2020 and setting the stage for how to be successful in 2021, specifically outlining helpful tools and strategies to help team members meet and exceed goals and make this our best year yet.
