Pros
Microsoft Silver Partner, Infocomm Diamond level A/V Solutions Provider, Preferred Partner in the Dell Partner Direct Program, DCJS. They install and service most anything in the Audio/Video, Voice/Data and Security fields. Provides industry training to employees in all fields.
Cons
Small “mom and pop” company, run by several family members and small inner circle of long time employees. President talks of all company as a “family” but fails to treat outside of his actual family with respect. Micro management from president and vice-president is overbearing. Human Resource department falls short, with no understanding of position. Employee pay is way below industry standard. Policies and Procedures constantly change, are confusing, and are only enforced when it suits upper management. Not all employees are treated the same.

Pros
Dynamic office environment, great pay and benefits, minimal employee turnover. VIcom is a market leader in Virginia in the AV and IT industries, with a high growth rate and sharp visionaries in management. Very experienced management, all with over 10 years at the company, and excellent hands-on leadership. Benefits include an Employee Stock Option Plan, that has been a big reason for retention, we are all owners of the company and are made to feel that way! The accrued $$$ from the ESOP plan has been very good, employees eagerly look forward to the yearly statement. Lavish company events, a beautiful office and great corporate culture. It's as much as a family as company
Cons
Some employees have become accustomed to all the perks and sometimes coast, some also forget this is a full time job. Sometimes a little too much noise and horseplay during work hours.
