Toxic Management - Security and IT Specialist Velocity Network (PA) Employee Review

I have only work a few jobs but I can vouch that VNET is the best job I have worked at so far which pays decently and also provides great benefits as well. Working at VNET I receive fiber internet and TV service through the company which helps me in my job in promoting fiber internet for residential customers. Vacation and Holiday paid days. Working retail the only holiday off was Christmas and all I received would be a discount at VNET I receive Vacation time that renews every year on my anniversary day and also you get paid holiday days off including floating holidays which act as vacation days which you get if any holidays fall under a weekend. Being at VNET you are part of an awesome team of people and feel welcomed by everyone and I would recommend to anyone looking to work at VNET to definitely apply and there is also room for career growth as well being a smaller company and always expanding.

No downsides I would say as this job provides the best benefits and pay compared to previous jobs.

You’ll get hands-on experience with a wide range of technologies and client environments, which can be great for building your resume. There are some genuinely good people here. It’s a decent place to start your career, gain some traction, and figure out where you want to go next.

Leadership is sorely lacking. There are plenty of bosses but no real leaders, people who guide, support, and take responsibility. Raises barely account for inflation, and compensation is significantly below market. Advancement isn’t based on merit, it’s based on who you know. Friends or family of leadership get paid more and are shielded from accountability, even when they underperform. There’s a noticeable culture of favoritism that kills motivation for those actually trying to improve the company. Titles don’t reflect responsibilities, if you’re an associate, expect to be doing the same work as “senior” techs without the pay or recognition. There’s no clear career path, and promotions seem more about timing or favoritism than performance or contribution. There’s also no prioritization: everything is treated like a fire drill, all the time, which makes it hard to manage your workload or develop professionally. Mistakes are rarely owned, and blame often rolls downhill. Processes are inconsistent or nonexistent, you’ll be told one thing by one person and the opposite by another. Like many MSPs, the pace is fast and the workload is high, but without strong leadership or defined processes, burnout is real. You’ll learn a lot by necessity, but the chaos adds unnecessary stress.
