Visionary Integration Professionals reviews

No raises (not even COLA), no bonuses. I was doing proposal work, where there is traditionally a token bonus for a win - not at VIP. The company has NO loyalty toward its employees - I was laid off as soon as they hired someone with questionable skills, but who was younger, cheaper, and not disabled, despite my manager opposing the change. They instituted flex-PTO, where the days off are theoretically unlimited, but there is no accumulated PTO to be carried on the books. And theoretically unlimited PTO depends on getting permission to be out - permission that is frequently denied. Upper management is terrible and doesn't listen to middle management.

Employment with this company requires signing an employment agreement. You get to do this on your first day on the job, so it's not like you could decide not to sign the contract. After all, you already moved on from your previous company so you are caught between a rock and a hard place. The only choice you have is to sign the employment agreement or be without a job. Read and understand this document carefully. The company will not hesitate to use it against you in legal matters. There are many people around me who have been fired only to learn that it was for paranoid reasons. The company will have their lawyers send you a nasty threatening letter if they think you are talking with current employees about the reason for your dismissal. I have talked to them and know these people from previous jobs with other companies. Do not use social media (LinkedIn)to share anything about your job with this company. If you are looking for a job, be careful where you post your resume. VIP regularly monitors certain job boards to see if any of their current employees are looking. Beware, they will approach you and remind you of your obligations under the signed employment agreement. The company has had many court cases with former employees and turnover here is high. They use the excuse that it is the nature of the business (contracting), But the real reason is the divisive manner upper management uses on employees. The assumption is never in favor of the employee. Anything suspect is automatically thought to be an intentional act of the employee against the company. No effort is made to communicate or to understand the issue from the employee standpoint. I've seen employees with over 7 years experience with VIP to be fired. My conversations with them afterwards indicate that there was an assumption made about the employees action without consulting or having a conversation with the employee. BE WARNED
