Pros

Piggybacking of the previous reviews, I wanted to share my own experiences with VectorSolutions. While everything isn’t doom and gloom (the culture, when management isn’t off their rockers, is amazing), it is now becoming evident that this still growing company has a long way to go. Some management and all none-management band together over rough times but also have lots of fun in office. We have many volunteering events, company provided food, and many other things that used to make it a joy to be in the office. We have raffles for events, food trucks outside the building, and our work areas are spacious. But a pretty new coat of paint does not cover up the damage that is happening at the top and is trickling down to many who have long careers at Vector. The saying people don’t quit companies, they quit managers is very real in the last few months.

Cons

My observations have gone from having hope that C-Level will finally see the light to a loss of confidence. Over the last few months, the frustration with our leaders has started to outweigh all the positives Vector has to offer. A constant red flag at Vector has always been our Human Resources teams having to answer to sales instead of the other way around. Past HR teams have left because HR is not at the top of the food chain – Sales is and that is putting a wall between any innovation that could be taking place. That being said, our new HR team is trying their hardest but key players who approve unethical practices and perpetuate old school, Boys Club attitudes and ideas are allowed to stay and pollute the culture. C-Level management is constantly brought in to “change things up” but their lack of willingness to understand the full scope of business and day to day operations has caused leaders and their teams to rethink their future with Vector. There have been unethical decisions that have come from C-Level or management teams (Initially, if could have been by accident as many decisions were made on the fly and not communicated between departments or above) but when it is brought to their attention, they accuse the reporters of being pessimistic or not seeing the bigger picture. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worst over the past year and it’s hard to say if one should keep riding it out, like in the past, or cut ones loses. Any environment where the upper levels are built on hearing what they want instead of what they need will not lead our company to success. If one kisses up to the Boys Club, your opportunities and pay magically open up whereas if you have standards and favor professionalism of “bending the knee” you are gas-lighted and lose your seat at the table. I’m still here and hopeful for change, but the Boys Club attitude, favoritism, no active change, lack of C-Level accountable, and not paying employees their worth is changing my mind. We are not volunteers, we are employees, and as the company has grown, so should have the employees in their opportunities and pay. While remaining loyalty to a company is admirable, Vector is proving that loyalty equals being paid thousands of dollars less than market standard and expected to work in an environment that is growing increasingly toxic and hostile.

Thank you for your feedback. Our employees are our greatest asset and we carefully consider all reviews to help us see how we can improve. We pride ourselves on our office culture and we are glad to see that you enjoy participating in the many amenities provided here, including our raffles and volunteer events. It is true that Vector has experienced tremendous growth within a short time-span, nearly doubling our company size and significantly expanding our product and solution offerings. In this dynamic and exciting environment, Vector has reorganized leadership roles as necessary and brought in experienced team members to leverage this growth and take Vector to the next level. Our Executive Team consistently works to foster a culture of integrity, trust, accountability, and transparency, while also providing opportunities for professional growth and development to all team members. Additionally, Human Resources’ open-door policy strongly encourages employees from all departments to voice their concerns and ideas in a comfortable and safe environment. If there are specific concerns you would like to discuss with HR, please reach out to HR@vectorsolutions.com and a member of the HR team will respond to your request.
