Pros
They will pay for your first attempt at a CIPP.
Cons
Toxic environment - while many of the individuals working at VeraSafe are kind people who would otherwise support a congenial work environment, the entire company is poisoned by the founder/owner Matt Joseph, who does nothing other than bully and micromanage his employees and limit their growth. The only “work” that I observed him doing during my tenure was over-promising in interviews and failing to deliver once a poor sucker signed on the dotted line. He makes a hobby out of skirting the line in legal employment practices. Work/Life “Balance” - When I see the reviews and the LinkedIn promos about happy employees touting the work/life balance, I laugh. It is an absolute joke. Yes, you work from home. But I’ve never been so glued and tied to a desk in any office job as I have been when working remotely at VeraSafe. If your lunch break lasts for 1 hour and 1 minute, you will be pinged about where you are and marked in a review as unreliable, no matter if you clock 8+ hours per day and complete all tasks (which are obsessively tracked) on time. I know the employees in the LinkedIn promos and I know their jobs because as soon as I put in my notice, nobody was shy about sharing their true feelings about working at this hellhole. Pay Inequality - Because of my position, I saw others salaries and bonuses and the inequality was outstanding between similarly placed employees and even employees in a senior position making significantly less than employees in junior positions. Matt’s idea of salary is “what can I get away with?” “You can work from anywhere” - Hahaha! Sure, just as long as you stick to your normal hours. Healthcare - just hope you don’t need it! There is much more to the story, but in a nutshell, if you enjoy being bullied, undervalued, and receiving cryptic messages from your boss directing you to read Section X of the SOP on Oxford commas and spending the next three hours trying to locate one missed comma in a 30-page contract rather than doing actual work, then VeraSafe may be for you. Otherwise, run far, far away.
