Pros

Decent healthcare options, that's it

Cons

When I started working here in 2021 it was a great experience. Definitely plenty of challenges but there was support in meeting those challenges. Then as senior management started to get in the way most of the talented people left. The company claims to have a flexible (unlimited) PTO policy but it is so poorly managed that you can never really take a day off and when you do attempt to take time off you are shamed into cancelling your vacation to meet goals set by dishonest sales reps. HR has a lot of really positive webinars and activities but when the rubber meets the road they don't back it up and allow senior management to shred people up with abusive and hostile language and behavior.

Thanks for your review. It is disconcerting to read that you observed abusive and hostile language in the workplace. Vector Solutions does not tolerate that kind of behavior. Please use the Report It details on the intranet to report this incident confidentially.

Pros

Their content is superior to their competitors

Cons

Their software is horrible. They hire management that don’t know what they’re doing. They have created an LMS that doesn’t work. If they were to concentrate on content and stop trying to be a software company then they will do awesome. There are so many issues that being a sales rep or an account manager or a CSM is extremely stressful. You can’t keep your clients happy when everything keeps going wrong.

Pros

- Many Pros if you used to work at Syniverse. - Great potential for a SaaS business serving everyday heroes like Safety Professionals, Fire / EMS, educators, etc. Public Sector and Education Business Units seem to have good, ethical leaders on a path to help those businesses realize their potential. - They almost never terminate anyone, no matter what. - Culture committees, endless free snacks, freestyle coke machine, etc.

Cons

- Double edge sword for a SaaS business is you can make pretty good returns with a high degree of dysfunction, but that takes a toll on employees every day. Dysfunction is addressed with endless platitudes from leaders such as, "assume best intent," which should be the company tag line. Much easier than actually improving. - Private Equity backed and in it to flip it as other reviews have stated. The focus is growth through acquisitions and integrating them as fast as possible, so nothing is done with excellence and organic growth is nowhere near what it could be. - Commercial Business Unit Leadership: Don't really have words, never seen anything like it. Zero substance. Proceed with extreme caution. - Desperate for acquisitions to make up for customers walking out the door on a regular basis. - Actual leadership and work is left to a handful of dedicated employees who prop up the whole house of cards and have to help with integrating acquisitions in addition to their day jobs.
