Pros

Friday Hours- you get to leave at 2pm

Cons

Everything 1, No HR support, since this is a family run business HR really can not do much. What the family decides happens. Example you do not get snow days or sick days, even if the state of NJ has called a state of emergency, Everyone still has to go in and if you do not, you loose a pay day. Company feels as tho they are paying their workers to work. 2. Forget about development- the company does not hold or conduct reviews, nor has promoted an employee or provided raise opportunities. The job you are hired for is what you get, UNLESS they decide to move you randomly to a different role without consent . Or they will add additional work to your current role due to the large volume of people leaving the company to cover their work. Forget a raise if that happens too. 3. No leadership or structure- this is an ever changing door, who reports into who, what your role really is. There is no real structure and people do not hold responsibility to work. In addition to no structure the leaders here do whatever they want based on their current feelings. They are bullish and NOT professional at ALL. poking fun of other employees, belittling them and screaming at them across the room is a daily occurrence. 4. Whatever the Owner Toby likes moves forward with- Do not come here thinking you will work for a company that is driven by numbers but purely emotions. 5. Disrespect Towards Designers- If your a designer looking to design forget it, this place simply goes to Europe and other US Homestores to copy all of their designs or buys artwork and slaps it on a CAD. They do not challenge you and if the owner doesn't like it he will let you know how horrible you are. 6. Lack of Benefits- This company provides the bare min insurance opportunity at a very high price. Obama care is essentially the same price. Many employees can not afford their benefits.

We believe feedback from this post is an opportunity to add clarity to our company policies and culture. Toby and Joe Cohen have built an industry-leading company. As with all companies, owners and executives set the final direction, along with the appropriate policies that are right for the organization. VCNY Home is proud to employ over 250+ employees. This requires organizational structure and accountability. We take great pride in providing gainful employment to our employees. It is a responsibility that our owners and leadership team take very seriously and to heart. We offer many benefits/perks including but not limited to: • A full benefit package that includes medical, dental, vision, 401K, life insurance and flex spending accounts. We remain committed to sharing the ever-rising healthcare cost with our employees in a responsible and fair manner. • Early dismissal on Fridays at 3 pm. • We believe in promoting and providing financial raises and rewards based on merit. We have an open-door policy on development and growth. As a company we are focused on progress and don’t believe a formal performance review process would benefit our organization at this time. We believe in setting regular goals, praising and rewarding on an ongoing basis. • We offer accrued vacation time. This may be used at the sole discretion of employees. We believe that employees are best at making the decisions that impact their personal lives. For example, during snow storm emergencies, we offer the flexibility for employees to make the best decisions for themselves, including staying home, utilizing their accrued vacation time, arriving late and/or leaving early. Thank you for your feedback. We wish much success to all our former employees.
