Pros

As with any consulting firm, the diversity of work and tech is quite nice. This is not attributed to Vaco but more so just the nature of the business. The hourly contract rates were fine.

Cons

I'm speaking solely regarding the Cincinnati location. The benefits were expensive and mediocre at best. No other perks to speak of. Tons of ridiculous liberal politics are discussed in the workplace which is exhausting and unnecessary for the business. I witnessed several employees being left completely high and dry after a week or two on the bench between projects. This indicates a lack of planning, forethought, and serious concern with cash flow as a business. Cincinnati/Dayton have several consulting firms with better pay, perks and culture.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
