Vartek Reviews

I have never worked for a company where 95% of the employees turned over every year. Terrible communication. Terrible training for employees when a new system is implemented. I was a tech and they switched to a new ticketing system and I never received any training on how to use it. Everything that was purchased for the district was the cheapest of cheap computer systems, network switches, etc... CEO of the company told us to our faces at one of the company meetings, that all he cares about is money. This is proven again and again by compensation, equipment purchased, tools to do our job efficiently, etc... Current President of the company was involved with the Miami-Jacobs career college when it lost accreditation for a program it offered. Students were graduating with degrees that turned out to be worthless. Google search Darlene Waite Scams. Company meetings feel like a sales pitch to the new employees on how great Vartek is. Nothing meaningful ever comes out of those meetings, and to top it off they pull all of the resources away from their clients. Fired all of the workstation techs and replaced them with "Classroom Technology Coaches". Nothing against the CTC's but they have education backgrounds, not technical backgrounds. Schools hire Vartek to support their technology......if no one has technical backgrounds then how is that going to happen? Before you get hired you have to take pointless personality tests. Health benefits are awful. Compensation is NOT competitive. They preach a life/work balance, but that is not the case, especially if you are salary. If this is being read by a potential client of Vartek, please make sure that you have a district employee that has a strong background in IT. If not, Vartek will take advantage of your district. They will say that you need this and that, when in reality you don't need anything. Very slim chance of advancing even though they tout it as a great place to grow and move up.

Its hard to choose where to start. The team I worked with started off with good management but a constant turnover staff. The company had a hard time keeping anyone on board. After several years working there I would poke and prod at moving up in the company. The little advancements were just enough to make you feel important but never significant. The overwhelming expectation will collapse down on you. Just when you think you are at a good position too you will realize how much the company just truly doesn't care about you. Combine your overwhelming expectations with being underpaid and throw that together with management who treats each employee with zero respect, you have this company.
