Horrible Company and Poorly Managed

Pros

The staff were nice but exceptionally overworked so tempers were a times short. The offices were clean and the people were genuinely trying to do their best.

Cons

The straw that broke the camels' back was my team was given the direction from HR to post nothing but positive reviews on numerous sites about Vubiquity. We would have a weekly meeting to report our integration with Glassdoor, LinkedIn and numerous partner sites and the best strategy for making the company sound better than it is. We have been posting false reviews for months in order to try and make us seem better. Other cons include constant fear for our jobs, I saw an entire department get paid off after we were assured by the CEO that things had never been better and then in the all hands meeting after that, we received a freebie pack of shirts and other expensive marketing items. I have personally seen three mass lay offs and I expect to hear of a fourth.

How many Avail-TVN Employees does it take to screw-in a lightbulb?

Pros

There are some great people hired in the last couple years that have tried their best to bring real,positive change to the company. Good snack selection including kombucha and cold-brew coffee on tap.

Cons

Easily one of the worst operations teams in the industry. Admittedly, outdated technology plays a role in that but a smaller amount of employees that actually know the basics of the product they are working on could do more with the same tech. Instead, long time Avail-TVN managers and executives continue their decades long track record of in-fighting, spending too much time saying "That's not my team's responsibility", allowing their staff to drink on the job, and partaking or encouraging all-around low class and unproductive behavior; - Little care is given by Ops to make the company more successful. New initiatives are almost always fought against. - Every single conversation revolves around doing as little work as possible. - Employees on the 17th floor are drinking, daily, on the job. - Executive staff are sleeping with the help, often on-campus. - Every single week copyrighted materials 'Go missing' due to incompetence. - On-time delivery to clients hovers around an embarrassing 70%. - Sexually aggresive males are allowed to harass and make inappropriate sexual comments at work (this includes top Human Resources Execs) simply because people see no hope in filing complaints about long-time AVAIL-TVN employees who regularly attend Happy Hour with HR. - Operations employess constantly complain about having too much work despite spending hours a day on non-work related internet searches, drinking, and just general lollygagging. Asking for anything from Vubiquity Ops is like asking a 7 year old to stop playing video games and take out the trash. Literally, weeks can be spent arguing with those employees and their managers over 10 minutes worth of work before it gets done. Seriously, it happens a lot. This specifically comes from long-time Avail-TVN employees. If you are thinking about applying to this company, I suggest you take your talents elsewhere. The Avail-TVN Ops mafia in this company will tear you apart if you show the slightest bit of talent. They will literally get HR drunk and tell them to fire you (or "manage you out" aka get you to quit because it's cheaper for the company). It has happened. They will also make your life hell in the meantime because their drinking buddy in another department thinks they deserved the job you got despite having zero past experience, never having performed their current duties to par and reguarlarly acting in the same sloppy and inappropriate ways listed above. The company is probably going to be sold in the coming months anyway so just don't waste your time unless you really need the money now or see yourself as the type of person that would get along with trailer park tenants. Also, the company does not recycle in it's kitchens. Not sure if it's to save money or if the ops employees are too dense to understand that bins marked Glass, Cans, or Plastic are not for food waste. Either way, any company with it's own on-campus convenience store selling bottled, canned and plastic wrapped good needs to make better efforts to recycle.

I've Worked for Better. MUCH BETTER.

Pros

I really don't see many pros to working here other than having a steady income.

Cons

So. Many. Cons. Like so many of the other reviews have stated, this company is top heavy. Too many VP's. I really don't know what they are all doing up there either because this company lacks transparency and clear goals. It seems upper management will say one thing, but the day to day reflects something completely different. This is especially frusterating when several teams are under staffed. Pay is abysmal and not competitive. The company can't make their numbers, so raises are a joke. No growth. When someone becomes a VP (which seems like once a week), no one takes their previous role as a director. Other than that, most promotions are earned when someone leaves the company or threatens to leave. If you are in an operations role, you're stuck. I asked, from the first day I started to be considered for different projects, nothing, nada, zilch. I'm not the only one - I've seen this with several others too. There are a lot of employees that have been with the company a long time. Most are complacent and fear change. Talent is not top shelf here, everyone great leaves. New people come in with enthusiam and marketing tries to sell the company image - but most see the culture for what it is...sad and depressing.
