What is the salary like at VITAC?

decent pay, good people, camraderie in a bad situation

upper management are either incompetent or actively criminal, hors and location are brutal

Good starting pay to learn captioning with good benefits.

Pay rate does not match the breadth of work or skills required to complete captioning more difficult content.

Great entry job into media sector

Strong risk of layoff and low wages

You get to work from home

Low pay with no raises No real benefits aside from basic health insurance

Block schedule instead of 9 to 5, offering freedom. I love freedom over guaranteed hours. Remote, work from home. It was perfect for my personal needs, although depending on who you ask, the pay wasn't that great. Sure I'd get $30 to $35 an hour, but in a year I only hit almost 30k total. 25-30k.

Laid off due to company being lazy. They've been downsizing once or twice a year and my time finally came on the chopping block. They weren't interested in re-training nor retaining employees. After training (they haven't hired since fall of 2021) you're on your own.

Ability to work remotely for many roles. Just moved to flexible PTO.

Salary and benefits are low and not competitive. Real lack of diversity at all levels especially executive management. Multiple RIF's.

Flexible schedule Great to work on news and media

Management Is unqualified, little communication, no company culture, unstructured. There is zero room for internal growth. Salaries are below market value. Company seems to be moving away from human captioners and going to an AI model, but is falling behind compared to competitors in that regard. Expect this company to be sold off for IP to a major player in the next few years. No job stability here.

Started out amazing. Great colleagues with diverse backgrounds, interesting content to caption, easy to commute to, paid Ubers for nightshift staff, schedule flexibility, decent pay.

Little to no advancement within company, worsening work conditions (captioning upwards of 7 hours entirely alone), unnecessary updates to system that complicated things, indifferent upper management.

Benefits weren't terrible Buy-Up Disability options Paid on time HR was nice

No growth opportunities Low pay No structure No guidebook minus the one we wrote ourselves I tried, I really did, to create a career with Vitac. I had a promotion dangled over me for months after I had already been given extra responsibilities and was training new employees. I should rephrase that to say, I was going to be given *the opportunity to apply* for a job I was already doing. Ultimately, my manager really did try to get me a promotion and was told to wait until the new fiscal year, and then she was abruptly removed from my department...they brought in a new higher-up in Operations that met with me only to say that she didn't know who I was and couldn't give me anything. I am sorry I gave them as many years as I did. Before everyone went remote in 2020, the office culture was terrible. They put Quality in the same area as the captioners who need a silent workspace, so we were unable to talk and collaborate while building the department from the ground up, When we tried to meet in other rooms, we got nasty looks for being in there. The office was nice but very dingy and dusty.

Zero positive things to say.

They endorsed ridiculous rules for contact employees.
