Pros

Good people in recruiter fields Excellent benefits Good location Fun work, for the most part They legit push the industry forward with innovation

Cons

Waterfall Management is a nightmare: One second they are happy, the next they have you in tears CEO has never worked a day in his life as anything but a manager, and has ZERO depth into what it's like to be a subordinate, and it shows! Terrible at planning yearly budgets, resulting in sudden unwarranted layoffs

Hello there! I'm Susie Hall, president of Vitamin T. I'm sorry you've had such a negative experience. I'm also surprised to read your comments about budgets? Vitamin T has grown every single year we've been in business in both size and headcount, so I'm not sure what you're referring to there. Regardless, I'd welcome an opportunity to talk to you to better understand what happened. I'm sure you know where to reach me! shall@vitamintalent.com or 323 475 7374

Pros

Some nice intelligent educated coworkers

Cons

Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
