If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. - Anonymous employee Videon Employee Review

If you find yourself at the doors of Videon Central and you look around to find an environment that includes lunchtime sporting events, a pool table, pinball machines, a movie theater, a casual dress code, free roaming dogs, a family-like environment, and flexible hours and you think to yourself, “This is too good to be true!” That is probably because it is. Under that false facade, there is an incredible amount of selfishness from the CEO, who claims to “care” about his employees but only cares about himself and his image. The pay is terrible in comparison to other local companies and there is very little room for advancement. In most cases, they’d rather hire someone from outside than promote the talent they already have within. Employees often had to work into the wee hours of the morning with little to no thanks from the heads and salary increases for even the hardest working were few and far between. (Almost all of those I’ve kept in touch with that either left Videon or were laid off stepped into similar positions in the same area and are now making 10-20K more for the same work.) And yet, the company spends thousands on remodels to make the facilities flashier and thousands on building the CEO’s image locally while at the same time laying off loads of employees because the company is tanking. Dedicated employees who hung in there through the roughest times have even given up on the company and left. It should also be noted that the CEO drove a company into the ground once already before starting Videon, so for those that think that it can’t happen, think again. This company is not stable and is not a good place to work if you plan on sticking around for any length of time. Also, stay away if you have a problem with people acting sickly sweet to your face and then talking poorly behind your back because that’s the CEO’s style. His chummy attitude is fake and his reputation is known throughout the community. In my opinion, no amount of monthly awards or free snacks can make the true work environment worth it.
