Pros

Great culture! Good work / life balance Ability to make a difference and have a say in how things are done Opportunity to learn and keep up with newest technologies Strong integrity and "customer first" mentality Company pays for and encourages training/certifications

Cons

Need to expand office space or move to a different bldg. Growing really fast. I would like a little more vacation days, but overall the amount of time off is pretty good if you include sick days.

Pros

-Kaiser and Anthem HMO are free to you, as long as you're single and have no dependents -People are some of the most knowledgeable in the industry and most are a joy to work with -Get paid weekly -They put you in a position to learn, and you can really gain a lot of knowledge because they throw you into the fire

Cons

-HMO + PPO is ridiculous if you have dependents, Vector pays you every week, so they take something like $80/paycheck for an HMO just for a dependent. Don't even ask me how much the PPO costs with dependent -Vesting Schedule is ridiculous for the 401k. They match $0.10 for every $1, but you won't take those all 10 cents until 6 years. -There is no way you'd rate Vector 5 Stars unless you're an officer or partner of the company, just look at the fake reviews on here -I would have to drop what I'm doing as a NOC (critical situations with external customers) and help out one of the owners and partners purchase a new iPhone...ridiculous -The training is non-existent, not really the fault of the employees, but more so of management failing to create the proper workflow and knowledge transfers. Don't expect to be onboarded properly--IT WON'T happen. -Turnover is ridiculously high in the IT side. Their knack for retaining talent is horrible. Within the span of 1 year, I saw so many people come and go, I thought I was at a train station. -So much micro-management going on, you end up being frustrated and take home the frustration with you. -They throw you into the fire (see pros up above) -Change Management is not existent from the internal network side for vector. Management would just institute changes and deal with the outcome the next day. How about a heads up? -We had Office365 licenses, and then they were taken away because I'm assuming the company was being cheap by not wanting to pay for the licenses -CAMERAS! There are more surveillance cameras here than there are at a pharmacy for crying out loud. Ownership has an infatuation with looking at people on camera that work for THEM for some reason, not just because they sell the equipment and services to it. This doesn't foster and environment of trust. -Mistakes aren't encouraged, they're dealt with and frowned upon. I've heard so much yelling, including an incident where there was yelling by a manager and the entire floor heard it with new hires being on boarded that week! My body literally responded by being in a "Flight or Fight" response. -Management tends to blame the lower employees for "poor results" instead of looking at the processes in place (or lack there of) and looking at themselves. -Bonuses were a joke, we didn't get one. It was $170 before taxes for the entire year of 2016. Ridiculous. Just call it a stipend.

Pros

It’s been a few years, but loved the General Manager at San Diego office! She was a true role model and very good at boosting the team up! Her employee appreciation efforts made all the difference! The team I worked with was amazing and I miss many of them.

Cons

I only left because of the commute. I would have stayed much longer if I lived closer to the office.
