Pros

Toxic work environment- would not recommend

Cons

I worked under a manager who created one of the most difficult professional experiences I’ve had in my career. They often played favorites and didn’t make an effort to support or develop everyone on the team equally. Feedback was rarely constructive, and I frequently felt undermined rather than encouraged. There was also a culture of fear and uncertainty — performance plans seemed to be used inconsistently, and it felt like some employees were quietly pushed out after a certain amount of time. The environment took a serious toll on my mental health and confidence.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Pay and benefits are adequate and some great employee's to work with.

Cons

At my local office there was poor management and communication, things constantly changing, lack of direction, no consistency on how things are done or managed, too much time wasted during the day on meetings that accomplish nothing.
