Pros

CEO seems to care about the employees to some degree, growing company.

Cons

I would not recommend working for Vector Solutions. Their turnover and attrition is above average. For example, the CSO AIMS to have around a 50% attrition rate. He wants a churn and burn environment, so if you’re not performing you can just be fired and someone else will replace you. The other departments have people dropping like flies, as well. Even though VS is a training company, there is no internal training. You would think investing in continuous education for your employees would be an easy win, but VS doesn’t actually care about the future of their employees. Vector has no culture. The culture team is made up of volunteers that try to plan events in their free time when they are not busy doing their actual job. They try to plan events with very little budget – figuring out things they can craft, DIY, or do for free. When VS brags about how well there are doing in revenue, it would be nice for the little people to reap some of that reward. Stop being so cheap! Leadership and the C-Suite changes frequently. The leaders in place are running departments that they legitimately have no experience in (*cough* CHRO *cough*). How do you have people running departments that they don’t know about? Shows how little they care about the departments that they put those toxic leaders over.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We carefully consider all reviews to see where we can improve and continue to make Vector Solutions a great place to work. We pride ourselves on our company culture that invests in employees’ happiness and satisfaction through activities, perks, flexible work schedules, and a newly improved flexible PTO policy. Over the last 18 months as we navigated the COVID-19 pandemic together (and still continue to do so), we’ve been honored to host various virtual activities and events - a virtual pizza party and comedy show, guest speaker webinars, holiday contests and celebrations, surveys and polls, and more. And we’ve made sure to show our appreciation for our team members with our multiple Vector swag boxes, which included everything from a bluetooth speaker to shirts and hats to sweet treats and a Vector travel buddy. We are also working to expand our professional development opportunities for team members through training, leadership programs, and more. Attrition is higher across many industries due to the pandemic, but our HR team is working hard to recruit top talent to our team as we continue to grow and expand.

Pros

It's a job and some of the people are great, remote/hybrid work for some employees

Cons

There is literally zero incentive to work hard or even try above the bare minimum. No real career paths or progression, no bonuses, nothing. Individual goals mean nothing and do not connect to larger company goals. Leadership is feckless and has to revisit the same decision constantly or has to make a decision involving way more people than necessary which means the final decision is bloated and difficult to operationalize. The company goals are not clear at all so work priorities constantly shift to whatever leadership has most recently decided, through a committee, is most important. There is basically nothing in terms of company culture. People don't talk to each other about anything. There is no fun in Teams channels. This probably stems from all of the above, that people do not feel at all connected to the company because they know they are not going to get anything out of it. Oh, and the benefits are abysmal.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry this has been your experience, and we take comments like this seriously. Vector is a mission-driven company serving customers in critical industries, including public safety, education, industrial, government, healthcare, and other organizations that rely on our technology to help make people safer, smarter, and better prepared. We are proud of that work and of the team members who support it every day. Vector has implemented many positive changes over the years based directly on team member feedback, and we continue to welcome input across all areas of the business. We recognize that benefits, career growth, priorities, and culture can be experienced differently by different people. We do offer a comprehensive benefits program that includes health coverage, 401k support, flexible paid time off, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and other resources; Growth Pathways to help team members understand career progression; and companywide initiatives such as Team Member Appreciation Week, Vector Volunteer Week, holiday events, and special commemorations to help build connection and culture. We also understand the concern around shifting priorities. Like many companies, Vector operates in an ever-changing economic landscape. As market needs evolve, we have to evaluate and adjust priorities to keep the business growing, serve our customers well, and support the team members who drive our success. We will not dismiss feedback simply because it is difficult to read. We have meaningful work, a strong team, and a lot to be proud of, but we also have work to do. We appreciate your perspective and will continue working to make Vector a better place to build a career.
