Pros

- A lot of great people - Good flexibility with schedules

Cons

- The leaders are narcissists who will say or do anything to push their own agenda. Will promise promotional or financial growth opportunities and then will conveniently "forget" that they ever told you that or just completely back peddle on all the promises they made - The videos and social media postings are the work of a talented marketing/ videography team. The culture is much more cut throat and cult-like. - There are people who have made a lot of money at Vaco, but that opportunity has passed. The pay structure is MUCH worse for those coming in now, so if someone tells you that you can make as much as someone who has been there a while... they are lying(see my first point) . If you are looking to go there now, you will just be further lining the pockets of the PE firm and leadership team.

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.
