Pros

Absolutely none, zero, not one.

Cons

Management is made by children who are useless and clueless and just started working for that position and have no experience whatsoever. The job has no real benefits. No paid vacation. No leave of absence. Employees cannot attend wellness events or will fall behind. The job is the most tedious and repetitive ever and is very upsetting. The nature of the job is based off of arguing every day with co workers about YT Ads content and that creates a toxic environment by itself. Employees do not moderate, they audit all day, really. The job is super beyond boring and stressful by nature. If management likes an employee, management will ask to hush hush and they will give you fun projects only to that employee or will directly move that employee to a more fun project all together and everyone else is treated differently like employees who are of less value, less knowledge and less experience when its the opposite. Only a few employees are "the chosen ones". Management will try to remove every benefit at every chance. Employees have to do a minimum of 650 tasks per day and all the time that employees spend on mandatory emails, mandatory tests, exams, required quizzes, required review of guidelines, required meetings, required updates etc...does not affect in any way the 650 minimum daily tasks. Other teams who deal with upsetting YT content have only up to 5 hours of productivity but content moderators employed by Vaco don't follow those standards and have 650 tasks minimum regardless of anything else myst be accomplished. The way workers are treated isn't fair, at all. Employees are forced to work saturday or sunday or both but employees feel the burn out and a small bonus that is taxed differently than 1.5 hourly pay doesnt make up for that. Extra time off would. Hours are super strict and for no reason. Now management has created this new rule that every 2.5 months all employees must be tested on their knowledge on the job for 2 days straight and after finishing already hour of work. That is by itself torture. And that goes on top of weekly tests, quizzes, employees are constantly tested on their knowledge. It is so beyond toxic and stressful and no one cares.

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

Great communication and support from the Vaco team. They genuinely care about your success and career growth, not just placing you in a role. Always professional, responsive, and easy to work with.

Cons

Opportunities depend on client demand, which is typical in consulting.
