Pros

Working with some of the brightest young talent available! The office and field staff are comprised of young and old talent. The company is over 22,000 employees strong with a well known name however, it will be changed soon. Some Fridays are relaxed depending on managements mood that day. Hourly employees start times are flexible.

Cons

Management posts fake reviews on glassdoor Training is all they can provide inconsistent Management (from day to day it is completely different) Power struggles in middle management No written SOP No accountability Progression into management requires you to have a defunct moral compass. Management does not say what they do or do what they say. The current administration in the Whitehouse and this place have much in common. Sometimes management is hard to reach as they come in late and leave early. (upper and middle management) They say they are like a family. I don't know about everyones family but mine is not this dysfunctional. No benefits for 6 months No Vacation for 6 months No Sick for 6 months Will not honor any agreements made during the hiring process. If it is not in writing it never happened. KKR will suck every penny out of this company and have little or no concern with the employee or customer in mind. KKR is to busy getting sued over colluding. This is not the company you want to work for. KKR is fraudulent just look at what they did to Dollar General.

Pros

Large company, reputation and visibility result in a steady stream of incoming work. Sr management in California seem to have good intentions.

Cons

Let me start by saying that it totally depends on the branch and branch manager how your experience with VC is. I know plenty of people within VC at other branches that have positive things to say. However, at my branch, the branch manager was totally out of touch with how to manage a business. Tried to micromanage and would threaten to fire you to get what he wanted. Would show up late daily but have the Account managers send workers home if they were five minutes late. If it didn't help the bottom line (read: his bonus), you could forget about it. Labor was cut when costs ran too high, resulting in a dwindling quality of work and upset customers. Talented people were hired as "Trainees" and forced to work far below their pay grade with hope of a "promotion" sometime down the line (read: never). Lot of talk about developing people and furthering education but nothing done. The Account managers all were more worried about doing what it took to keep the branch manager happy and not get fired than about keeping the customer happy and furthering the development of the branch's business. Pretty toxic place.
