Pros

Outside of learning about sales and what it takes to be successful in the industry, most of my colleagues were an absolute joy. The company itself is a leader in the space. You are proud to share that you work for a company that firmly believes and stands behind core values.

Cons

Note: I can only speak on my experience as an SDR. Leadership fails to meet company standards. This would be an ideal place for someone looking to learn about sales. Accordingly, this is a terrible environment for someone looking to grow, specifically in a sales role, within an organization. Operating as any other corporate structure, management will continuously entice you to "work harder with less" in order to advance, both professionally and financially, into positions that are currently, and likely permanently, only being offered to external candidates. Senior leadership oversees a total of 800 employees so it is understandable that they do not have the bandwidth to concern themselves with every aspect of the organization. Nonetheless, they are accountable when it comes to the oversight of lower-level management. <1% commission (non-negotiable) No career growth (internally) Micro-management from managers Read from a script and be penalized for not doing so Favoritism

Thank you for your review of your employee experience at Vector Solutions. Working in sales definitely presents challenges. An innovative new sales technique has been rolled out to all our sales teams and represents a sizable time and financial investment in our sales people. Definitely not "work harder with less"! Growth Pathways was launched in March 2023 and it provides a process where all our open positions are posted internally to give employees an opportunity to move into new growth roles and be promoted from within when the business need and opportunity presents itself. Open positions are certainly not only being offered to external candidates and over 40% of open positions are filled internally. It also provides a model to help employees own their career and development and provides tools and resources for managers and employees to have effective career development conversations. Senior management certainly "has the bandwidth" to remain accountable to concern themselves with all aspects of the company.

Pros

Great product and mission to keep your employees safe and educated.

Cons

Leadership is always changing. Your ideas are taken without any credit to you. As an SDR, they only care about numbers and not out of the box thinking or working smarter.

Thanks for your review of your time at Vector Solutions. We are always looking at ways to improve the training and growth opportunity offerings to our team. An innovative sales technique has been rolled out to all our sales teams with excellent results and we also have a Growth Pathways program where it clearly outlines what needs to be in place for career growth to happen in all parts of the organization. It specifically does not create any expectations around promotion. We are very proud of our ongoing commitment to inclusion and belonging as well as our mission of keeping every day heroes safer, smarter and better.
